An original copy of Fly By Night? That goes back. I think I first boarded the Rush train some time later.

My turntable is a recent model by Pro-Ject, a Debut III. It's accompanied by a Pro-Ject SpeedBox Mk II, which changes the speed electronically so I'm not continuously going under the platter. Really having a good time with it; also listened to Hendrix's The Cry Of Love and the White Stripes' White Blood Cells today, both of which I just found on vinyl.

Coincidentally, my RR 2150 also drives NHT Classic Threes; got them because at the time I was looking for great bass without a subwoofer—which they definitely provided—but then I ended up acquiring a sub anyway. Very pleased with the setup, but if I'm completely honest with myself (and my wife), the Classic Threes were just fine without the enhancement. I guess when you've got a little extra dosh to blow you can convince yourself you need anything. Happy spinning.

P.S. Kinda curious about your reference system.
