Got my VPI Classic 3 Sig SE set back up after around 2 years. Put on my Acutex 420STR. WOW. Everything is sounding much better that before. Additions are an ADS and dual pivot. It's going to be a good weekend.
The Church "Starfish"

The Acutex has always been a great cartridge. I had it re-tipped with a Shibata. It has around 150 hours on it now. A great cartridge, much improved.
I’ve gone from two to three belts now. Two was the most noticeable improvement with a somewhat warmer presentation and improved bass response. Coming closer to my Rock 7 but still lacks that tt’s overall, organic presentation.
Listening to "Moon Shaped Pool" the bass moves me in my room. It surrounds me, then comes from underneath me. This lp has moved up several notches in enjoyment for me now.

America "Homecoming" OP … one of my all time favorites!

REM "New Adventures in Hi-Fi" ... talking about an lp with great bass...….. |

@bob82,
Welcome to the thread. I own that Van Halen, SQ is great!
……………………..
Brandi Carlile "The Story"
My replacement copy sounds great so far.

For the record....others expressed their feelings earlier...
I don’t actively hate any one, or any type of music or it’s creator.
I take music for what it is and try to appreciate how it evolved.
It actually bothers me when others say, "I hate this". That kind of statement should be re-evaluated for it’s connotation.
……………………………
Heading off to work in a little while...…….

David & David "Boomtown" OP |

@uberwaltz,
You realize you’re asking a huge TP fan? Haha.
I own the OP/lp of Wildflowers. Just on content alone, Highly Recommended! I can’t compare it to a cd...sorry.
I don't believe it was an analog recording.

Ray Brown Trio "Soular Energy" Pure Audiophile Records |
Got these in this week:
The Teskey Brothers "Live @ The Forum" I was happy to hear TTB being played over the intercom at Staples today.
Trigger Hippy "S/T" & "Full Circle Then Some" thanks to @uberwaltz |
Trixie Whitley "Porta Bohemica" import…..highly recommended.
|
Gill Landry "Love Rides a Dark Horse"
Our friend James turned me on to this artist . |
John Mayer "Paradise Valley" |
Crosby, Stills, and Nash "S/T" pp
When I last did a comparison, this copy easily beat my Classic Records copy.
|
@tomic601 ,
Just "Will The Circle Be Unbroken".
BTW, Tim really inspires confidence in talking with him. |
@tomic601 ,
Packed up the Funk Firm along with two sets of interconnects & sent to Tim today. Gonna use the 38 gauge Audio Note silver wire. I have some in house for my final wire loom on my ET 2.5. The 38 gauge is perfect for that linear tracker. |
@tomic601 ,
You'll have to explain that one to me brother. |
Trixie Whitley "Fourth Corner" …. import /after a good flattening
.......................................
Steve Gunn "Way Out Weather" |
|
|
@big_greg,
I envy you my friend.
|
Mary Gauthier "Rifles & Rosary Beads" finally out on vinyl. Yea!
I noticed that, while the lp came in a Quality Records anti-static inner sleeve, there are no identifying marks or in the liner notes of this record being pressed at QRP.
|
Thea Gilmore "Ghosts & Graffiti" |
Steve Earle "I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive"
I really doubt if I will either |
Low "Drums & Guns" …. what a wide soundstage!
…………………..
Welcome @gardners501
|
Buddy Guy/Junior Wells "Going Back to Acoutsic" Pure Pleasure |
|
Songs: Ohia "Axxess & Ace" |
@uberwaltz,
Opened up the two Trigger Hippy lps, "S/T" looks to be somewhat warped and a dull black, the other looks flat and a shiny black. Two different labels. |
Beth Hart "Better Than Home"
One of Beth's best for content & SQ. |
Sides 3&4 of the Thea Gilmore. |
@uberwaltz,
Deceptive Bends is a great sounding lp!
|
The MG lp is great in terms of song writing. The sonics are sadly one (half) notch below her other lps I own. That’s not to say I did not enjoy it. She has to be in the top ranks of female songwriters today. |
Miles Davis "Sketches of Spain" /mono ..... a fairly recent pressing @ RTI |
I'll gladly accept my friend. |
Porcupine Tree "Lightbulb Sun"
|
|
The Black Angels "Passover" |
|
+2 on Rare Earth
After a deep clean, Beth Hart "Bang Bang Boom Boom" |
David Gilmour "On an Island" |
Rilo Kiley "Under the Blacklight" |
@spiritofradio,
I'll try to keep up with your everchanging pictures. |
Now, Steve Earle & The Dukes (& Duchesses) "The Low Highway"
I'll be up all night folks..................... |
Buffalo Springfield "Again" mono/box set |
@millercarbon
I’d never heard of Violation. Thanks for the link.
