FWIW, also, I haven't done much comparison to the MyMat since I installed my wall decoupling system.

Easy to hear on my system, with/without my Stillpoints LP1, without a weight is superior. This kind of goes along with my previous thoughts on isolating the lp from the bearing. Much easier to hear now. The music is free!
@noromance ,

I guess you're keeping us in the dark on the new tonearm for a reason, but I'm going to make a guess. I hope it's the Trans - Fi.
Johnny Cash "American III, Solitary Man" from the American Recordings Box set.

Just replaced my beloved Duelund phono cable for my recently upgraded Marc Tunis/KLE phono IC.
Uber,

That's why I sent a couple of interconnects w/ my arm to Tim. I didn't want to be in the same situation. He just charges $10  a pair labor.
@uberwaltz,

"Full Circle and Then Some" is going in the Vibrato. "S/T", closing in on it's time in the ORB. Will report after a while.
Will do @reubent. I stumbled upon this copy and upon reading the, at that time.. reviewer’s comments, it interested me more than ever.
Up now,

Holly Cole "Romantically Helpless"  Grooveland/dbl lp/one lp 33rpm/bonus lp 45rpm
Thanks Jim. I'm set to send my arm to Audiooragami but hesitant about shipping to Scottland right now?
FWIW, mine is the original tri-colored Reprise label.....orange top, thin white stripe, tan bottom.

Other Lives "Tamer Animals"
Here's a few lps in my mits this week:

Chuck Prophet "The Land That Time Forgot"
Norman Greenbaum "Spirit in the Sky"  sealed/pp
Son House "Father of the Delta Blues"  Pure Pleasure
Ray sometimes sounds like the reincarnation of Joe Cocker.

Oh yeah, Uber, you can thank me later.....haha.
@reubent ,
I noticed what you're talking about but I'm just not bothered by it.
I've noticed the same thing with Brandi Carlisle as well, to a lesser degree.
I think it makes them even more unique as an artist.
@tomic601 ,

I was able to find a way to send a question to audio-maze. Apparently no proper website.
Thanks @bkeski,

I can get your meaning. I’m not without experience to classical. My personal favorite is " Fiesta" on Reference Recordings.

Had several experiences with local symphonies.
Ray LaMontagne and the Pariah Dogs "God Willin’ & The Creek Don’t Rise"

Highly recommend!
"The Blues Had a Baby & Called it Rock n' Roll"

The S/T TH album is more Rock n' Roll. Full Circle is a more thoughtful, melodic blues infused piece that reflects the bands' purpose.
Califone "Heron King Blues"
……………………………….
@6t5-gt0,

Glad you're enjoying your system!
Chuck Prophet "Temple Beautiful"  slightly sterile but the music makes up for it, IMO.
Up next is one of two I acquired just this week from this artist.......

Donna The Buffalo "Tonight, Tomorrow and Yesterday". So, here goes...……..
Welcome @mhart032,

.……………………………
Up next Johnathan Wilson "Rare Birds".

I own two JW lps, "Gentle Spirit" and a RSD 4 song,12"/45rpm that includes "Isn’t It A Pity". I’ve been a fan ever since but I’ve let his work since, slide. Some of you may know he's been collaborating with Father John Misty. He moved from Wilmington, NC to Laurel Canyon a while back. I picked up "RB" (his latest, 2018) recently...."All songs recorded and mixed using the Studer A-80 mk. III master recorder" "Rare Birds" was mixed to ATR Magnetics 1/4" tape on the Amperex ATR 102 tape deck". "RB" vinyl laquers cut by Chris Bellman @ BG Mastering" Well, I think you can see why I have high hopes for the SQ. Here we go...…...


Jackson Browne "Hold Out"

I always bought JB lps unheared. One of my favorite male songwriters!
@reubent ,

You had me wondering for a minute or two my brother. I'm a believer right now. My hope is, you will become a believer, my friend.

I'm so glad you are posting here now. I appreciate being proved wrong by anyone who is respectable.
