Both Journey lps I played sound Killer!. And to boot, they are re-issues.
Uber,

If I felt confident enough in decipherring your post, then and only then, could I answer.
@tomic601,

I beat you by 3 hours. First time working in 5 months!

Up now the latest "Goats Head Soup" re-mastered at Abbey Road, I got the 2 lp version. Vinyl looks great. Will report on it as I listen.
OK, I’m two/thirds through "GHS" lp 2
Interesting how these out-takes are more dynamic.? Love it!!!

Lp 2 is extremely enjoyable!
Brian,

One thing I finally worked out with my new wall decoupling system is I now have my two tt’s on the same platform for easy comparison.

Of course, my Trio allows for two phono inputs.

VTA on the fly is a nice item. In precise thinking, anytime you raise/lower your arm, it does affect VTF.

My Funk Firm arm has manual VTA and it really isn’t a big deal.
Hey fellows! I installed two new springs under the (heavy side, VPI) of my wall system today. They have a higher load rating of around 18 lbs each more than the other side. Initial impressions are very positive. The music seems to break free of the electronics/speakers even more, there is more depth, and increased transparency. Good stuff.
Pulled out my copy of "Tusk". It’s a period pressing (pp), back cover says printed & manufactured in England. This may just be the jacket, I don’t know. Put it in the cleaner for a fresh clean.
Putting "Tusk" on now. Upon closer inspection, "Mastered by Capitol" in the dead wax. I guess that answers any questions.
@tomic601 ,

Saw the slab...nice! If you weren’t aware, I’m a frustrated woodworker..Have the equipment...don't have the time...
@uberwaltz,

Will clean and re-listen soon...brother.

Out of the two Federale lp I’ve opened, both are warped. I’m confident "Music From ’La Rayar’" is playable.

Put it on and the Sussurro is a champ!
@tomic601,

I know you can't see it, but on my amp/stand/platform, I did that very thing. It all locks in nicely. A great feeling.
@tomic601 ,

BTW, if you end up using springs for your amp platform, the final solution is to recess them 1/8" into the platform. Access to a drill press helps as it has repeatable depth stop.
Always loved "Moonflower" for the music. I wore out the cassette. I own a pp and a WLP. It's been years since I listened but my memory is SQ isn't the best. Need to do a fresh clean/listen.
Uber,

That's the very reason I've invested in the equipment I own.

"One Stop Shop"

With this equipment and a daily dose of Duloxetine, I'm good bro.
@boxer12,

Glad you love it brother. I meant to check in to see if you had it yet.

You're reaction still has me smiling!
@uberwaltz,

Just realized my former mentioned, WLP copy of "Moonflower" is actually a gold-stamped promo/ with a dj timing strip. Maybe the same thing?
Good Morning @uberwaltz,

I’d challenge you to play a cut off of "Moonflower" ,then play s cut off "S,/T" then report.

Thanks for putting up with me.
@uberwaltz,

I find "Moonflower" to be hyped up and not as analogy as Santana's earlier output.
