@noromace There is something to be said for vintage cartridges.
@nicks25 Indeedy. My main table has 2 Deccas from the 80s. Like you, I've never bought any major cartridges. Always been a MM tube phono man.

Haresuite – Circle Of Friends (Haresuite 1983)
...
Mary Lu Walker – Middle Age, Middle Class, Mama Songs (K&R 1979)
This is an oddity. Songs in the naive country folk style from a Mama to her growing up kids. Cute and musical. Very nice recording. Little gem.

House to myself. DVDs. Loud.

Rule again my friend?

Would you like to send our coloured cousins
Home again my friend?
All you need to do is follow the worms."

Alice Gerrard & Mike Seeger – Alice Gerrard & Mike Seeger (Greenhays 1980)
Like a country bluegrass version of Incredible String Band. Good stuff. Half bro of Pete. Decent recording.
|
Antal Dorati Conducting The Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra / Stravinsky –Petrouchka (Mercury 1955 mono) side 1
These old mono Mercury recordings have some wonderful soundstage depth in the bass. Timpani are visceral. Upper mids are a little aggressive when things get going. I wonder if it’s some kind of clipping in the recording chain. Massed brass etc.

Yeah, Steve. Welcome back to the black ⚫️ !

 Roy Harper – The Sophisticated Beggar (Science Friction 2019)
Reissue, Remastered. Autographed. I bought this at a gig and today is the first time I played it. SpinCleaned. I have the original and I was interested in hearing the remaster. Sounds pretty good for a digital notwithstanding the usual glare. However, the vinyl has more noise than the almost worn out 1967 original I have. It’s acceptable and not a big deal but it’s indicative of the current process.

Frank Zappa And The Mothers Of Invention – One Size Fits All (Discreet 1975)
