Nagra,

Yes, that’s the one. Sort of a bit disjointed playing double 45rpm records with all the flipping and cueing, but they do seem to sound excellent, so I don’t really mind. Johnny Hartman’s voice via the Falcon LS3/5a comes through beautifully.

Yes. I was put off by 2x45rpm's for a long time for that very reason, but the improvement in sound quality in most cases, particularly where I have made direct comparisons, over the slight incovience convinced me in the end. There is a sort 'relaxed rightness' about a well mastered 2x45rpm. And I can use the extra exercise!
