I Do James but as I mentioned earlier, I needed a quieter copy. Thankfully, I found one. |
Emmylou Harris "All I Entended to Be" |
|
James,
Thinking back, I believe you have a point. |
I have it Jim. From my memory it sounds great. Thanks for the reminder. I think I bought mine because it was recommended in Stereophile years ago. |
Jenny &Johnny "I'm Having Fun Now" |
I hope you all have had a chance to listen to this great record |
|
The Flaming Lips "American Head" |
My "playlist" today, had a lot of thought behind it today.
I’m very happy! |
An update on the SOTA Eclipse package.
I love it! Hopefully SOTA will eventually offer a complete, drop-in system, for the VPI tt's.
For now, I'm going to figure out my perfect system. Probably a carbon fiber motor plate. Stay tuned...... |
The Isley Brothers "Go For Your Guns"
TNeck/1977

Tift Merritt "Tambourine" 2014/Lost Highway

I felt a need (for me) to kinda give an update on the Noteworthy Audio ICs.
As most of you know @boxer12, Tim's wife had a serious medical problem that's left his products in the rear view. I wish her well and I personally know how demanding taking care of someone is.
I had his dedicated phono cable in house for a while and it sounded great. In that time I also and still have his standard IC. When I hooked this one up from my sub to amp while the phono cable was installed, my jaw dropped. This was still with my Marc Tunis IC from phono-pre to sub. Wow! I am still wondering how having the two Noteworthy Audio ICs in the signal path, disrupted by the Marc Tunis cable was sounding SO good?
So that's where I'm at now. Sent the dedicated phono back for some tweaking. |
Sorry for the earlier typo...
William E McEuen
Lp1 sounded great!
Lp2 up now........................ |
Nearing the end of the aforementioned "WTCBU". Wow!!! Bluegrass at it's best. SQ at it's best.
Saving lp3 for later.
Thanks Jim! |
Hey @jay73 ,
I always enjoy my Hot August Night/MFSL. It really is a great performance.

James,
Great thoughts.
Use to do it in the car with "repeat" or "skip". |
Jason Isbell "Southeastern" |
"WTCBU", lp 3
This is actually sides 2 &5. |
Spooky Tooth "The Last Puff" A&M/pp
Starts out with a very cool version of "I Am the Walrus" |
|
J. Geils Band "The Morning After" MFSL |
@tomic601 ,
"Too Long in the Wasteland" is an imperfect but enjoyable record. I think the praise it received years ago wouldn't happen these days. I'm referring to SQ.
It's a digital recording and it lacks soul. The content is wonderful.

James McMurtry "Too Long in the Wasteland" 1989/CBS |
Quicksilver Messenger Service "Just For Love"
1970/Capitol
Wow!!! |
Natalie Merchant "Paradise There" ( The New Tigerlily Recordings)
If you're searching for more Natalie on vinyl.......
I own "Tigerlily" MFSL
I think this version sounds at least as good, probably better. Posted about it years ago. |
"Tigerlilly" MFSL/45 Rpm This version is superior.
|
Songs : Ohia "Axxess & Ace" |
There's quite a bit of body part movement going on here..... |
This configuration serves higher volume levels well. Of course, sub settings will make a difference. |
Magnolia Electric Co. "Trials & Errors"
2005 |
Keith Richards "Live @ The Hollywood Palladium" |
Well, just made a switch...I promised to compare some of my "footers" a couple years ago.
At that time Kevin started a thread on ceramic cones.
I’ve been using Stillpoints in my system in addition to the spring systems I’ve made.
I just swapped the Stillpoints Minis (4) under my Trio with (3) Golden Sound cones.
Listening to the same album at the same volume, there is less bass boom while the bass seems less exaggerated.
Of course, this is on my righteous wall decoupling system, and the Trio is on an extra BDR Shelf.
I think I like it this way. We’ll see. |
Brandi Carlisle "Give up the Ghost"
Using Three MyMats..... |
Drive-By Truckers "Southern Rock Opera"
OP/Lost Highway/120gram |
......"it was said, that when the paramedics got there,
Freebird was playing on the stereo,
You know, it's a very..long song"....
Drive-By Truckers |
"It's a Struggle" Keith Richards |
Love "Starfish" @waltersalas |
All of this comparing ain’t exactly fun but it can be rewarding.
|
Frankly, from memory, using 3 MyMats on the Brandi Carlisle lp, the overall SQ is smoother, the bass is more integrated without being overdone. |
Walter Trout ...Wow!!!
Needs to gets me more. |
@boxer12 ,
"Blue Dream" is such a great album! It's gotten much play on my tt.

James,
Saw that Covet lp, caught my attention. Give us your thoughts.
