@uberwaltz,

I own (1), I can’t remember if is was a Hot Stamper (most likely) or a WHS. It’s "4 Way Street". At the time, I thought finding a clean copy of that title would be a long, hard road. Of course, last year, there was the great 3lp remaster of it.

My better records copy does sound good ($125.00). The remaster blows it away $40.00.

Tom Port’s mentor in the ( hot stamper) revolution is Robert Pinkus (forgive me if I have his name misspelled) who is the guy behind Impex Records.....which sound fantastic! Those two guys and Steve Hoffman worked together at one point in time.

Unless you’re a wall street banker or millercarbon, I wouldn’t go down that rabbit hole just from the expense side of it.
@uberwaltz,

You've been acquiring several great MFSL titles lately. Very nice.
@noromance ,

Going too fast my friend. I’m gonna have to make a mental note & come back and check these out. Thanks!
Suzanne Vega "An Evening of New York Songs & Stories"  
EU/Cooking Vinyl/2020.

Looking forward to this one because, it's SV and everything I own on Cooking Vinyl sounds great. BTW, after the US clean, I saw nothing in the tank. Very clean lps.
The Doors "Morrison Hotel" /the German pressing from around 8-10 years ago. Very nice!

Another all-nighter..........I do think.
Robert Cray is an easy recommendation.

10cc is a great sounding record!

That's a start?
@reubent,

BTW, I've been slowly collecting various pressings of 10cc.

Just cleaned my yellow vinyl pressing of "Sheet Music" from (Not Bad Records) label. We'll see?
@reubent ,

I hope you'll come to love it as do I.

If you find this type of music satisfying, check out XTC, or Jellyfish...


Porcupine Tree "Fear of a Blank Planet"
@reubent,

What in the hell would we do without Amazon? My doorbell rang this morning. My Jason Molina/Songs"Ohia "Travels in Constants" (lp) arrived. That's what I'm talkin' about!

By the way...the JI lp about sounds amazing!
@uberwaltz,

Can I come over and play?

Finally decided to switch carts. Puttin' on the Cadenza Mono.
Nick Waterhouse "Holly"

The Cadenza is very picky on set-up. Especially on zenith.
@uberwaltz,

On the Vanilla Fudge lp (Sundazed mono)........(I just played it yesterday through the Sussurro).....the central imaging is readily improved, more open, the bass has more power, more air around the performance. Turns out both cartridges are sounding best on the same load setting. I'll have more to say later as I haven't listened to the Cadenza in around three years. I am happy and quite surprised to hear as much difference as I did so far.

Iron Butterfly "Heavy"

1969/Atco/pp 

Super nice pressing, sounds just as quiet as the new vinyl I'm getting in now . 

 

Buying a copy of Katy Lied on MFSL on vinyl at a record show for RT $70 years ago ok, was a bad deal.

That's my favorite @6t5-gto,,

Rodrigo y Gabriela "S/T" MOV

Hey ebm.

Well the Cadenza mono didn’t work out. Either something is wrong with it (150 hours) or it’s a poor tracker or it doesn’t mate with the 3D arm.

Installed my ( fairly new) Brinkman II .
@tomic601 @uberwaltz,

Brinkman Pi. Got it in a package deal when I bought my Rock 7.
Calexico "The Thread That Keeps Us"

not the best for SQ but I love the band.
John Fogerty "Blue Moon Swamp" 

(listening through my newly installed speakers)
getting ready to clean/play my brand new lp of....

The Black Angels "Death Song"
