Greg, if you haven’t already, go to their website. Interesting in how they’re made. 

I forgot to mention that I had been listening to a Bob's Devices mid line cable, which is good but not as refined at every level as the Zavfino.

Lyle Lovett "12th of June"

2022/Verve

That hair man! Don’t know who was first, Lyle or Kramer. It has worked well for both.

Joanne Shaw Taylor "The Blues Album"

2021/Keeping The Blues Alive Records

the Blues and tubes go well together. Sadly the SQ isn’t the best. An 8 out of ten is stretching it. 

Still enjoyable!

Colter Wall "S/T"

2020/La Handa Records

This is one I’ve been searching for. From Morrow Records.

Re: Terry Allen

I really like Bloodlines. I think this theme album has brilliant lyrics and Terry’s vocals are great. He reminds me of a mix of Leon Russell and Steve Earle. Unfortunately, my copy is very noisy.

Smokin the Dummy is a great lp as well. Lot of Leon’s influence here again IMO. A lot more country leaning on side one though it has the New Orleans jazz influence on side two.

 

The above mentioned Steppenwolf lp is Highy Recommended if you can find one 

Dave Rawlings Machine "Nashville Obsolete" 

2015/Acony 

Highly recommended!

I have the latest Alone Together Again and enjoy it. My best sounding copy is the MCA 200gm heavyweight vinyl series edition from the early 90s.

Dean Wareham "I Have Nothing to Say to the Mayor of LA"

2020/Double Feature

No doubt my Ushers love the Quicksilvers. 

I mean I've been comparing my record weights with very descernable results.

 

Puttin’ on my just US cleaned copy of,

The Young Rascals "Groovin’" MFSL/45rpm/mono

I wanted to be very fair to this album as I’ve heard very different impressions of this lp so far. So, I put fresh water in the Vibrato. After a 25 min clean, there is lots of noticeable "skim or scale’ floating in the water. Anyone who says there’s no need to clean a new lp is just wrong.

Lp 1, side one, seems very flat, slight surface noise on the first track of the mostly blank side one. Two short songs! SQ really good so far. Nice depth and seeming spaciousness for a mono record. No hint of brightness or etch.

Side 2, Really sounding very, very good. I would bet it sounds better than a mint original? The clarity is somewhat stunning. Keep wishing the bass/drums were more prominent.

Lp 2, side one. This lp isn’t as flat. Both lps are centered nicely. So far the only product complaint is the not perfectly quiet vinyl.

Should mention I'm listening through my stereo Sussurro w/ mono button on phono pre.
