Superbly quiet LP playback


:Last night I put on a new LP, Nina Simone's "Wild Is the Wind", and I heard the quietest sounding LP playback  I've ever experienced. Between the new SPH pivot bearing, and the still-new Shure V-15 Type V cartridge, I've never heard LP playback  so perfectly quiet and free of surface noise. Lovely.

Regards,

Cool. it is really rewarding when you hear something like that.
 

I have been fortunate enough to have collected great pressings for decades… and have a cleaning machine. But the thing that did the most was an audiophile table and cartridge. The noise floor on all recording largely disappeared. I was so shocked that a needle being dragged across a rough surface could be so quiet.

 

Amazing what a century of improvements can do to a technology.
