Equinox is probably my favorite Styx album and we must have played that sucker everyday spring semester my Freshman year at NC State!

I second everyone’s request for your vinyl ripping recipe, Gene. Those DRs are beyond impressive, but how are you managing those dreaded pops and clicks inherent to a good amount of vinyl?

This one:

Just ripped my Spooky Tooth vinyl. Spooky Two 1969 on A&M Records. Great sounding disc...
