I was talking to Shawn a while back and we were reminiscing about the good old days when you could go into a record store and play records over headphones before you bought them. Shawn has a storage space packed full of vinyl and he has decided it's time to thin the herd. So we set up an old school style listening station at BHQ. Old school in philosophy, but done with new school Bottlehead gear - a Thorens TD150 with an SME arm feeds a Reduction phono preamp, that is running into our top of the line Mainline headphone amp and a pair of Sennheiser HD800 headphones. Shawn has brought in a few hundred play graded LPs for starters, and he plans to restock pretty much weekly. It's just one more good reason to check out BHQ when you're in town.
