Damn presbyopia....
70’s rock pressings. Witch equipment deserve?
I have 3.000 LP, most of it 70’s prog rock. Some of them are “audiophile” pressings (Classic Records... etc). But just a few.
Is it worth it a expensive capsule/phonopreamp for that kind of recordings?
I know that classical music, or jazz masterings were masterworks in their times, and deserves the best capsule/preamp you can buy.
But I dont’t know if Genesis, PF, King Crimson, Magma... 70’s pressings would get much better with a super capsule or it’s better to invest in other parts of the chain to achieve the best sound.
Thanks! Be safe!Showing 2 responses by ramon74
Thank you guys, you helped me a lot. 1.- buy yourself a nice vintage MM cartridge from the same era with Line Contact type stylus (avoid spherical/conical or elliptical). 2.-All of the prog bands had many great recordings on Island, TFCL, Deram, Chrysalis, Manticore, Virgin, Harvest.... 3.-Regadring turntables you can always buy brand new Technics Direct Drive like SL1200GR for example. 4.-The price doesn't dictate what your ears will like. 5.- Be careful with the new MFSL, Direct to Disc... new pressings! 6.- Technics DD + SME V arm can suck the life of any deck. You're great! be safe! |
