Ten Years After "Live @ the Fillmore East 1970"

Welcome @maggiefan8
@stevecham ,

I love the fact that you're already thinking of what to play a day ahead.
Low "Trust"  sticker says..."no digital process was used in the production of this sound recording!  AAA = analog-analog-analog"
Taking a break in the middle of the "Lioness" box to play Glen Hansard "Rhythm & Repose". If your a fan of these two artists, you’ll understand why.
In a little while...…
Songs:Ohia  "Love & Work / The Lioness Sessions"  2 lp/box
Alejandro Escovedo "Big Station" !!!!

Listening to this lp reminds me of seeing him/hearing him last weekend. Awesome!
FWIW,

My sister and I feel my Mom is not long for this world. I 've been staying all night through the week, sis on weekends.

This is life.
Trixie Whitley "Fourth Corner" import

I'm proud of you @uberwaltz , I think?
Rodrigo y Gabriela "S/T" MOV

Regarding "The Story" (lp), mine had great SQ but the pressing was extremely noisy. It's going back to Amazon for exchange.
Lucinda Williams "The Ghosts of Highway Twenty"
………………………………….
@6t5-gto,
Don't own Seven Steps.

I do own the MFSL Silver label of "Every Picture....."
@6t5-gto,

"Someday My Prince Will Come"... that’s one of the estate sale lps I found years ago for $1.00 each. Mine is a OP/6eye/stereo. I’m sure the AP will have a fuller midrange/bass.

Regarding the Marvin Gaye....I still have several new lps that I need to hear before any chance of sending back possible defects escapes me. I did open it and upon inspection it looked perfect, so I feel comfortable in waiting for that one. I’m hoping the saying, "good things come to those who wait" will apply at some point.

I’ve spent a couple hours tweaking my TT set-up today. Nice improvements sonically. Installed a BDR for the Source shelf under my Rock 7 and tweaked the motor alignment, washed the belt.... Nice! I posted the new set-up on my virtual system page if interested.
Valley Maker "When I Was a Child".
After a good flattening, I had to listen again. Highly Recommended!
………………………………..
Need to listen to Nebraska again, I think it’s been 30 years?
Haven’t mounted it yet. How’s your rack coming along?

The Black Angels ":Passover"

"Drums & Guns"...one of my lps awaiting me....
@6t5-gt0,

While we're talkin' Miles, one of my new lps is a mono "Sketches of Spain" pressed at RTI on 180gr. I've wanted a copy of this one for a while and found this at one of the 50/60% off sales and went for it. I figured it should be pretty good.
Rolling Stones "Hot Rocks '64-'71" ...clear vinyl/sounds great
……………………………….
Gillian Welch /David Rawlings lps from 2018 are some of THE best sounding (lp) recordings of lately!
@drrsutliff ,

The Purpleheart had been on my short list for a long time. After I got the Sussurro, I'm very satisfied. If funds ever work out, I'll go Hyperion. Glad you're enjoying it!
@millercarbon,
I'm not disagreeing with you......just wondering if you've tried raising the VTA on the thicker lps that sounded inferior sonically?
I've had my issues with AP as well. Most of what I get is off-center, dished or warped. I sent "Carney" back because it was so noisy and soundstage direct checked another copy which they said was noisy as well. I can take care of a lot of these quirks but some are just to bad to fool with.
@uberwaltz

Hadn’t opened them yet.

@big_greg,

I saw Garbage and Blondie a couple years ago and enjoyed it.... Garbage a little more.
