@dayglow I totally agree on those Rafferty albums. Those are both like comfort food to my ears, I usually listen to both sides back to back. I can’t say that for too many records in my collection.

Aren't those 60s recordings great?
For sure! Listened to all 4 sides of Julie London, funny to think the record's 60 years old! Lovely voice, nice accompaniment.

Lol Jim!
FYI, Norah Jones has a 'country' band called The Little Willies, worth a streaming listen. I bought the LP just because. It gets played here.
|
Agree that those Patricia Barber LP's set a high sonic bar. Added a 45rpm version a while back--OMG. That Norah Jones record was a pleasant surprise.

Steve, my wife informed me I can exchange Amazon purchases at the local Kohls which will keep me in the game. Thankfully!

@spiritofradio I agree that overall they are quiet, it's the occasional static noise I hear, like a quiet 1 second frying pan 'sizzle'. Only on new stuff, not on all of it. My cartridge has a Namiki microridge line contact stylus with under 300 logged hours. I clean every new record before play, and multiple treatments don't help. I'm wondering if it's the same noise @big_greg hears on the HM LP?
|
@slaw @big_greg @spiritofradio
New, poorly made LP’s are becoming more of an issue IMO. About half of my purchases this past year have static noise somewhere. Very aggravating and has me rethinking future purchases, which are mostly online and require return shipping to exchange. It’s hard to enjoy the new purchase when you almost expect to have an issue.
