How many lps before you like it

Hey Hlmiii i know what you mean on this quest. I agree with you on the Moody's except Children's, the MFSL i have is dead and lifeless. i have gone through quite a few and i have two that sound very good a u.k. pressing and a u.s. pressing and i like the u.s. better its got more air. Sojourn for me is MFSL.
I gave up on Beatles LPs cause i cant afford the prices being asked and dont trust the sellers. i have been burnt before more than once.
I will give the djm Elton John LPs a look see though i have a copy of Tumbleweed thats a very sweet LP.
Thanks for your observations.
Rual i have gone through more than i like to mention. when it comes down to our favorite lps we go the distance.
For me and my system i am into maintaining it and in constant appraisal of the direction its going.
Its at a point now where i am getting the best sound ever, and thats though a lot of time and cash. the synergy between pieces of gear, wire, and speakers are at a all time high. Your quote

"Its not an easy task to achieve very complex/time consuming and heavy know-how: a life work/fun. The harder you try the faster the magic comes"

With the music, cash, and hard work comes the magic and to me its worth all of the effort and expense.
good listening

Hey R_f_sayles at the recent 2007 New Orleans Jazz Festival. Van the man Morrison put on one super fine performance. We got almost one and a half hours of vintage Van. He was on my list of must having to see. a Great Show indeed.
Hlmiii my understanding is the 78 UK set is hit and miss on sound. i have a copy and my MFSL is better. but it aint bad thats for sure.
Hopping other audiogoners give us there pursuit of the best they can get LPs of there favorite performers.

Hlmiii i am tring to learn about first pressing and what stamper was used, this looks to be a very tough subject to learn anything about.
Is there any way to tell which 78 set is which?
thanks Mike
