Mastered by George Marino at Sterling Sound
"...these are all truly classic Verve titles that you simply don't want to miss...most importantly, the sound of these reissues is nothing short of astounding. Particularly the early Billie and Ella mono records are incredible treasures of sonic beauty. I'd definitely ask Santa for the whole set, or, if you want to cherry pick, the most classic titles. Whatever you decide, you owe yourself at least a half dozen!" Winner of a 2012 Positive Feedback Online Writers' Choice Award - Danny Kaey, Positive Feedback Online, November/December 2011

Collaro Audio White Precision Turntable Mat
The Collaro Audio white precision cloth turntable mat is identical in manufacture to the Rega NAIA mat, branded with the Collaro Audio logo in gunmetal grey, and is produced with Rega's full approval.
The mat is a woven 100% wool construction and lies perfectly flat on the platter. The logo is printed on a white layer on one side, so if you’d prefer to use it logo side downwards, the visible print-through is reduced to a minimum. The sonic benefit of the Collaro mat over a standard compressed felt mat has to be heard to be believed.
