@big_greg,

You asked last week about the Lucinda lp.....

First listen was kind of a shock because I didn't know what to expect. Second listen and I'm really digging it. SQ is great, on par with most of her stuff. Recommended, especially if you're a fan.
Now... a flattened L Williams tribute to Tom Petty "Runnin’ Down a Dream" lp 1

A newly readjusted VTA/VTF...how about that!
You’re going in a similar direction as did I, when tube rolling my EAR 834P @bkeske.

You're on a much faster pace than I was.
Frank Black "S/T" remaster/2018-19/4AD

This was one of the lps I stood in line for at the last RSD events I attended. Just goes to show that they will usually be available later.
Greg,

From what I read in other threads, I just assumed you ordered the Herron?
James / Brian,

You guys have got to get this Norah Jones lp.

I was on the fence, but when I saw the song list that included Black Hole Sun, I pushed the order button.

Not disappointed at all!!!

Mott the Hoople "S/T"

1970/Atlantic/pp 

This lp jacket has cool art work and photos.....

Currently using two Noteworthy Audio ICs in my signal chain. Breaking in 

Wow, the clarity is remarkable.

Hey Joel,

I too have always had nothing but praise for the Impex stuff I own. That's why I was surprised by the amount of surface noise present. It sounds like teenie micro scratches. Mind you it's no way in your face but for a $50 lp, I expect more. Also, there's some low level ground noise for the first half of side one. I can overlook it if taking it out would've negatively impacted sonics. 

Performance wise, it's great! I've had an interruption in my buying her stuff since Cole Porter, I think?? She is definitely taking chance and exploring new territory. I love her so it's easy for me to recommend the music.

I'm going try another copy. All of the three lps I received yesterday from ED had issues with the vinyl. That's the breaks I guess?

@spiritofradio,

James, my Universal remaster from 15/20 years ago? sounds amazing.

Has the original cover
I think I’m in love with Norah... again.

This record is amazing on it's own but also because it was recorded at different venues and sounds consistently amazing!

Another experiment birthed out of my newfound midrange presence, been trying my Stillponts LP1 after years of it’s sole purpose, sitting on top of my phono-pre. I had written earlier regarding the use of weights or clamps and using them with or without the MyMats. I’ve been using three MyMats for quite a while on my VPI and still enjoying that. Trying now with the LP1 and without, so far, more often than not, I’m liking the LP1 but it is lp dependant. So, easy enough to put it on while playing to hear differences

James,

Honestly, most people are in the "don't like camp" when it concerns Dave Matthews.

This "Live" box.......SQ is awesome! More over, the musicianship is perfect.

What else is there to say?
