Father John Misty  "Pure Comedy". If you're a fan, you'll be happy with his latest. Very nice SQ.  (I find Sub Pop's QC to be spotty).
reubent,

I own "Too Long in the Wasteland" but that's it. I really love great live recordings!

If you haven't already, check out Ryan Bingham. His lps have some noisy pressing issues and are slightly bass heavy but I still enjoy them.
"LP5" sounded good the first time I heard it, but it is so much more enjoyable/meaningful now.
Well @tomic601 & @ uberwaltz,

This was my intention when I made the earlier statement. The Symposium Ultra / 24" x 19" was originally an amp platform as noted by the name tag on the long end. I’m the second owner. Has some cosmetic issues. Used under my TT for years, Comes with 3 Symposium couplers and a new factory shipping box.

For now, this is all I'm willing to part with.

Interested parties PM me.
Hey @tomic601 ,

I'll hold my washing machine test up against Harry's 4 sub test any day.
@chowkwan,

I wonder why the other two nights weren’t put on vinyl?

I bought a Fillmore set at the last RSD of a 8 month earlier date the AM had at Fillmore and it’s easy to tell they weren’t a fully formed band compared to the set we all know and love.
@spiritofradio,

My RSD/25th is the only version I own. I will say that I own quite a few PS pp lps and the remasters by Sony/Legacy are great!
Been there done that.

There's even a reason for the set-up... the component positioning. No _hit!
After hearing side 1 of "Until the Hunter" earlier, I decided to US clean both lps. Now, side 2.
BTW, Harry’s 4sub test was just for isolation. My washing machine test includes isolation and SQ!
Another comment on the positive effect of the new wall system. I've now been able to put my finger on it. I think I mentioned increased clarity/openness......I believe this has to do with the reduction of noise that infiltrates out systems by way of resonance/vibration. I now listen at a notch lower volume level as a result.
Gary Moore "Live From London" ( his last recorded performance)

.......brow dripping of sweat....Just finished side one....somebody bring me a towel!
In addition to his guitar mastery, having the ability to make it sing with emotion, he had such a great voice!
Ya'll gotta get this one.
The friendly neighborhood mailman was very kind today.......

Yes "Fragile" MFSL/UD1S arrived.
@tomic601 ,

I actually use his Super Stiff Springs on the lower shelf.

I got some slightly higher load rated springs from Grainger for the upper shelf.

(It’s a work in progress.) as the VPI is way heavier that the Rock 7. The BDR Shelf for the Source weighs around 70 lbs?

BTW, I use Geoff’s lighter weight/cryo springs under my Hydra 6/Symposium set-up directly under the new set-up....along with 4 Stillpoints Minis.

What overall weight are you looking at?
After my rotator cuff surgery years ago...and being in rehab/therapy.... I made a similar device out of pvc I could use at home to stretch out. This was the audiophile in me going to other places.
Hey Jim,

How is the RM-9 positioned/placed in your set-up,?

Take a closer look at my support system for my amp at my system page. Isolate/decouple...My motto.
@bdp24,

You know Lucinda's right up my alley, and covering TP, dbl the pleasure....
Thanks.
FWIW, racks have their place but I’m more @ more wanting to figure out smarter solutions.
Jim, think about my set-up on a smaller scale. Tile...hmm? I’d go with the rubber/cork isolators easily found on the cheap from HVAC vendors. I use the 3" square ones. Then a piece of MDF (painted to please the War Dept.) then your springs to mate with your DIY platform. This way you will be decoupling from the floor without damaging it. Simple, easy. OK,...I’m done here.
Sorry Jim, last time I looked, the Brinkmañ was sitting on a built-in shelf.

Regarding HRS, they focus on isolation, I'm more about decoupling at this stage.
