Bill,

I’ve realized already how valuable a balance control can be beneficial. As you mentioned in another thread.

Lucinda Williams "Essence"
Lost Highway/2016/EU
Orange vinyl
Sealed

This is a re-issue as it originally was released in 2001
Wow, @6t5_gto,

Goodness gracious, glad you like it!

Wish I could've been at that show.
Brian,

I passed on that record initially. I have most of not all of his solo output over the last 15/20 years 

Hoping you can give me a good reason to buy 

Arrived today,

Lucero "All a Man Should Do"

Jeremy Ivey "Invisible Pictures"

The Knack "Get The Knack"
MFSL
Received sealed...was dished.... In the ORB....perfect!
I took the plunge and ordered a Puritan Audio PSM 156. Should be here this weekend. From what I've read, it should be killer. Afraid the price would go up substantially if I waited longer. 
www.partsconnexion.com  has a great deal on them.

As a result of streaming, I ordered this on lp....

Marianne Faithful "Broken English"

Streaming Angus Young "Broken Brights" !!!

OOP on vinyl. Discogs at 250.00. decisions, decisions......

Streaming Roger Hodgson "In The Eye of The Storm".

Sounds better on the big analog system.

At least, right now.....

Upon streaming "Endless River",  gonna get the lp. 

 

Somebody help me......

Getting ready to listen to the Puritan Audio PSM 156. Gonna try it on my front end first. Replacing the Shunyata Hydra 8 & 6. Left it plugged in with a fan for the last 20 hours.

My front end and "back end" are on two separate dedicated lines. I measured the "back end" out of the Shunyata 4 that is daisy-chained to a V-Ray with my Alpha Labs EMI meter and the reading hovers around 350 mv. Just measured the Puritan on the front end line at 115mv. A substantial decrease that should translate into clearer sound.
.........failed to mention that the Puritan replaced an Akiko Audio triple AC enhancer as well.

Warming up with Damien Rice "O", the last lp I listened to on Sunday. The cartridge always takes around 30 minutes to start sounding good. Right off the bat, I hear many improvements though. Acoustic guitar..... the plucked strings have increased resonance and clarity. Bass is more impactful and deeper. On one song there’s crowd noise in the background, like a gathering in another room.....it is more easily heard. Lisa Hannigan’s vocals are more easily heard and more meaningful.

Using the 2m/15 gauge Puritan PC that came with the 156.
@spiritofradio,

James, you seem to be laying back recently. What's up with that ?
Cool Tim! I’m sure the Cubs sound good, but still nothing like a full range speaker to bring out the full scale of music.
