Alejandro Escovedo "Burn Something Beautiful" |

@noromance ,
Was looking at your arm. Out of curiosity, how much damping fluid are you currently using? |
Amanda Shires "To The Sunset" |
Shawn Colvin "A Few Small Repairs" SQ=EX |
Sun Kill Moon "Ghosts of the Great Highway" |
Simon & Garfunkel "Bookends" |
Jonathan Wilson "Pity Trials & Tomorrows’ Child" 3 song/12"/45rpm/RSD |
Johnathan Wilson "Rare Birds" sides 3&4 after changing my platter mat's configuration (yes I use two) and a good flattening and my modified VPI SS center weight. |
Nick Waterhouse "Never Twice"
Any NW fans out there? Although there's no mention on the cover/insert, his lps sound better in mono.
|

@david_ten,
Thanks for your acknowledgement on the other thread.
|
I think it's time to rock!...…..
Frank Black & the Catholics "Live @ Melkweg"
|
Welcome @simao,.I assume you're referring to the MFSL/45rpm version?
………………………..
@6t5-gto,
How quiet is your copy of "Soul Journey"? Mine was spotty, just like MF’s, which he sent back. Of coarse, we never heard back.
|
Well I had such a positive revelation with the Hydra 8, that when I spotted a V-Ray, I had to pounce. It’s driving my amp, subs and my 4. Put my Anaconda on the V-Ray.
Another very positive upgrade. |
Uber,
Buying used, it’s hard to go wrong!
I bought the Taipan & Python new. Galen Carol said 300 hours break- in. He was absolutely right. |
|
Count Basie "Farmers Market Barbeque" Pablo/1982 |
|
Other Lives "Tamer Animals". again
This record is so much more expansive and open than it was last night, courtesy of the V-Ray. |
|
Chuck Prophet "The Land That Time Forgot" just released
Another great lp from Chuck! |
I’ve always loved Outlaws! This lp is better SQ than GR.
How could anyone not love a 4 person guitar attack? |
@uberwaltz,
Over the years, I’ve tried all of the second generation power cords before the 8 & V-RAY. From Copperhead to Anaconda. I sold my Python a few months back because it was way too long for my needs and the Signal Cable silver was a noticeable upgrade @ a sixth of the cost. At the time of my experimenting, the Taipan & Anaconda were the price performers at used prices. Look forward to hearing what you come up with.
BTW, I've been impressed enough with the Mark Tunis interconnects that I'll probably try some of his silver PCs. |
|
Highly recommend the Chuck Prophet lp! |
The National "Sleep Well Beast" |
ELP "Brain Salad Surgery". Manticore
This is one of my all time favorites that I’ve neglected for quite a while.
I own 4 copies, time I finally dealt with this. |
@noromance ,
The o-ring on the end of the armtube....is it’s purpose suppose to be...once the overhang is set right...push the o-ring up into the recess?...to lock in. |
Dire Straits "Love Over Gold" US pressing
Comparing it to the lp in the Studio Box Set
|
Son House "Father of the Delta Blues" Pure Pleasure/dbl lp |
Gregory Alan Isakov "Evening Machines" |
Brain Salad Surgery, is IMO, an absoloutely great record!
Yes "Fragile" MFSL UD1S 45rpm |
Jefferson Airplane "Volunteers" MFSL/45rpm |
Three Dog Night "Golden Bisquits" |
Grand Funk Railroad "Live"
more specifically "Heartbreaker"
|
The lp from the box has more body, a fullness to the notes that combine to give the presentation "Soul", which I find to be crucial in the enjoyment of a lp. This comes at the expense of ultimate high frequency extension and detail however. Maybe the choice is because of the age of the tapes? |
@reubent ,
Nice haul! I was looking through the list and while there are a couple I'm unfamiliar with I think "Red Dirt Girl" will be a mild disappointment in SQ. I find it to be sterile.
|
@6t5-gt0,
I'm glad you were able to get the TP box. I think you've got a good ear my friend. In the end, I think you'll conclude that taken on it's entirety, you'd be able to recommend it to others.
|
Dire Straits "Communique’" My all time fav DS lp and one of my all time fav records. From the Studio box. |
@noromance ,
My thought was, if adjusting azimuth, sliding that o-ring up against the center, (where there is a countersink) would help keep one from affecting overhang. |
Neil Young "Chrome Dreams II" OP |
Dave Mason "Alone Together" MCA /Heavy Vinyl
A great record! I only do not play it as often as I should because it is mentioned so much here by one member. There were 2 or 3 or 4 lps in this series. This was the first to have an inner cardboard sleeve that "wrapped around the lp on three sides. If put into the out jacket correctly, there would be little chance of the lp arriving with it’s outer jacket split.
SQ=EX!
|
Zebra "S/T" pp/Atlantic/1983...a hidden gem |
|
The Son House lp is superb!
next...
Bonnie Raitt "Slipstream" |
It's so rare when Jenny Lewis is mentioned here that I felt a need to mention it. Yeah! |
Very initial impression, just from side one, "cohesive"... An adjective Uber described to me is very valid. This band just gels! I bet they actually enjoy one another! That comes through in their music. Love it! |
Thanks @simao
………………….
Tom Petty "Hypnotic Eye" /the 2lp/CB version.
Bought @ 60% off @ Insound.
