Bach Cantatas No. 196 and 18, Musical Heritage Society MHS 3485. Played on a Galibier Gavia with Triplanar VII and Benz LP. I have played lots of records during the past 24 hours as I am getting used to some new speaker cables (Audio Note SPx) but I ended with this Bach recording which has been a favorite of mine for over 40 years. |
Beethoven, Symphony No. 9, Wojciech Kajski and the Polish Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra, Tacet L 219. New recording, new vinyl release. Walker Audio Proscenium Gold turntable and Blue Electric Magic Diamond cartridge retipped by Soundsmith. You’ll see more about what people are listening to on their TTs by playing along on the long lasting thread: " What’s on your turntable tonight". But this was a fun query to find out a bit more about the gear we're all using to enjoy our vinyl. |

Hey Crazy Bill,
Just wondering how you like your "Amazon Grand Referenz/Moerch DP8" ?
How does it compare to the other tables you've had, especially the Fieckert?
Many thanks,
No Regrets |
ranjan,
You actually inspired me. I'm cleaning "Oh Mercy" right now.
Cheers!
|
ranjan,
Thanks for the "belly laugh"!
I get it!

Bob Dylan- Street Legal on a 1983 Linn LP12 with a Grado Reference cart. What can I say, I'm old. LOL |
right now...
The Jawhawks "Rainy Day Music" on my Townshend Rock 7.
|
Last night I readjusted the anti-skating on my Oracle Alex, so I played the hardest to track albums I have: Linda Ronstadt, Hasten Down The Wind and 10,000 Maniacs, In My Tribe. Sounded great. Now that I think of it, I inherited some Beethoven. Maybe I'll try that. |
Dead Can Dance-'Into the Labarynth' (MFSL), then, Ornette Coleman/Charlie Hayden- 'Soapsuds, Soapsuds' (Artist's House) on a VPI Classic with Dynavector 20x2.

Explosion in the sky - The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place
VPI Prime - SS Aida
Amazing Album |
teeshot: Robert Cray/ Strong Persuader Aah. Thanks for the reminder. I have that one along with Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark. I will give them both a spin tomorrow on my Technics SL1210M5G w/KAB fluid damper, Oracle Groove Isolator turntable mat, and a stack of isolation layers playing into Marc Voigt’s all-tube handwired PTP Phonomena phono stage and MAGI line stage driving a Perreauwx PMF150 power amp driving a pair of Magneplanar 1.7s augmented by a pair of Mirage MM8 subwoofers. Not that that would make many of you drool, but this has been a seriously winning combination for me for over three years with no compulsion to change. |

Ah nice thread.
As I write "Coltrane" Impulse Mono A-21 original pressing on a Garrard 401 with an Ortofon SPU mono 1960's rebuilt cartridge - SF-1 valve integrated/Croft pre-amp which I'm using the phono stage for and Yamaha NS-690 speakers. In fact I've been buying up as many mono pressings as I can get my hands on/afford to replace my stereo pressings of my favourite jazz albums, as listening to mono records on a mono cart is totally new and mind blowing experience. |
Stanley Turintine, Gordon Goodwins Phat Band, Christine Mcvie's Solo album with Todd Sharp on guitar.. |
Rich Robinson / Through a Crooked Sun / Pro-Ject RPM 9.1
I just picked this up,and giving it a first listen. I am really enjoying it. |
I just got the Sean McGee remaster of The Beatles 1967-1970 "Blue" album. I played it last night on my Technics SL1210 M5G w/fluid damper and AT150Sa cartridge mounted to Yamamoto cherrywood headshell. I’ve also been playing some Russian orchestral music lately--Rimsky-Korsakov, Khachaturian, Mussorgsky, etc. On jazz and pop I sometimes switch to a Shelter 201 mounted on a Jelco headshell. The Shelter has a gorgeous midrange which caresses lead vocals, saxes, guitars, etc. When playing the Beatles Mono 2014 reissues (and other mono albums), I use an Audio Technica AT-MONO3/LP HOMC also mounted on a Jelco HS. This combo really brings it home on these mono albums--strong sense of in-room presence, midrange transparency, excellent tonal balance and dynamics, and best of all, a very strong artist-to-listener connection. |
Rock'in with Dokken, Under Lock and Key, Rega RP6, Exact, Soundsmith MMP3. |
Glen Gould doing the 6 Bach Partitas on a VPI TNT V. |
im just waiting for my Pinky Floyd animals to arrive in the post. Might have spotted a gem on eBay. The description was a bit vague but the price was very good. So here's hoping I have got a good deal . But that will get auditioned when that arrives |
Luxman PD444 spinning Hot Tuna America’s Choice. This is an indexed copy retired from a Radio Free Europe station. Goodness knows how many ears heard this from behind the iron curtain. God knows how America’s choice has changed... |
My old (original actually) Blues Breakers ("Beano") with Clapton LP on a clean Linn Basic/Akito rig…love that album. |
Listened to a bit of London Grammar last night . Fantastic .
im certainly glad my cat pays no interest in the turntable. 😬 |
I find that reissues are hit or miss, but "The Alternate Blues" by Analogue Productions Revival Series is killer on my TW-Acustic Raven One.
