I visited Harry in 1985 and listened to the IRS in the small room. Superb
sound, but the room gain brought up the low bass by more than 10dB. No
wonder HP wasn't impressed by the Linn Sondek. With that much low bass
energy where the turntable was placed, it didn't stand a chance :-)
Harry was using a Goldmund turntable at that time. Forget what the
electronics were.

...the first time I recall him playing The Human League's, "Don't You Want Me" (possibly a 45RPM dance remix) and he said, "Listen for the seven different layers of sound as they come in."
I think of it whenever I hear the song on the radio today.
While I mostly heard classical there, another pop tune he liked to crank in that era was All Touch by Rough Trade. The room shook.
But then he always was a power listener. :)
