Seems ok Brian. Of course I'm not exerting myself. Thanks for asking. 

 

Greg, It sounded very good! Can't be more descriptive due to system changes but seemed very overall coherent and solid

Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives "Way Out West"

2017/Superlatone Records 

Such a beautiful album!

I’ve been through 4 or 5 off of Amazon. Their return policy is so generous that it’s easy to find one your satisfied with. They have changed brand names often through the years so that makes it hard to recommend one that I’m still using after 4-5 years now. One with a larger water tank is nice. Remember that your usable amount of water is less than the tanks' stated capacity.

Wow! Got the VTA dialed in on this Steely Dan lp with my Stillpoints LP1, exquisite!! 

SS could be wider, with another resistor.

Hey @j_husker ,

I experienced that recently with a Yardbirds lp but three sides sounded best , those were 1A, side 2 was a 1D. Big sonic difference.

I do occasionally drink.

I failed to mention that my center hole reamer was a great necessity here.

These two lps are a little ticky.😕

How is that album Brian? I think I’ve seen it before but glossed over it.

Just realizing how fortunate I am to be able to enjoy a Pink Floyd concert on vinyl at home 🏡

Terry Allen & The Panhandle Mystery Band "Bloodlines" 

2022/Paradise of Batchelors  

a replacement copy 🤞

So far my impressions are positive on my new to me phono stage. I feel comparing resistors in the MC , will be critical. Then I’ll focus on a passive volume.

 

There’s a beauty now in the presentation that wasn’t there before. Although the SS could have more bloom😕 Lot’s of options going forward .

 

There’s much more of a difference in album to album SQ now.

 

A blessing and a curse

 

Another interesting fact, my Trio uses 3/6922

The Audia Flight is SS. Bass is incredible.

Hey Joel,

I have the op of that Beth Hart lp and it sounds great from memory. 

Her Albert Hall set is great!

The Traffic album is recommended. Really quiet and great sounding! 

Same as the box set pressing.

Bill,

I have "Walkin' on a Pretty Daze" which sounds like the description you mentioned above . I love War on Drugs. His album with Courtney Barnett is really good. They compliment each other well.
