The Kris Davis Trio, Lost In Geneva was released on September 25, 2026. "Lost In Geneva (September 25 2026, 4166 Records) promises to be the latest of musical triumphs for Davis because she still attacks each project like she’s got something to prove. She’s in the midst of a new era for her; Lost In Geneva is the second record she’s issuing under her current Trio with bassist Robert Hurst and drummer Johnathan Blake."

Welcome to TCS!

Just switched the 275 for the TFM35 and am cranking this. Sounds amazing on vinyl. Sk1Bum turned me onto this unopened vinyl when it became available on eBay and I snatched it up. Thanks Dick!!!!

Many thanks, Bob! This one has a round belt- looks just like a vary long O-ring with about 2.5mm thickness. I searched amazon for quite a while and only found flat bands in that size. I'll keep digging on the sites you linked.

I've heard good things about the CSS kits. I built a set of bookshelves with some HiVi Research / Swans woofers and some JM Lab tweeters. I've been very happy with them for ~20yrs and they make up my office/ PC setup and get used several hours a day when I'm at home. HiVi sells a 3-way flat-pack kit that is very well reviewed and there are a number of crossover mods that improve it even more. They're sold in various places including Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09XGYJFRQ/ current price is $365, but I've seen it go on sale as low as $329 if you watch. (There's a open box / returned one for $311 right now too) I wanted to build a set for the kid's room, but was gifted a set of Triangle floorstanders from a neighbor so I didn't bother spending more money.

@MattB @gwolford A few places I have in my saved folder, Listed in no particular order https://lptunes.com/collections/vpi-turntable-belts https://www.lpgear.com/category/V1.html https://www.turntableneedles.com/Rubber_Drive_Belts-Tape_Decks_Turntables Was able to source a tt belt from Amazon based on knowing the size and cross section information. For mine I used this to start the search; Turntable Belt for Record Player 20.7" Replacement Flat Medium

Tagging onto this thread for somewhat relevant question... Is there a good place to order belts by size? I have a VPI turntable and the belts are $45 each direct from VPI. I can't imagine these are anything super duper esoteric, but they sure do like to charge for them.
