@6t5-gto,

Hello! When I’ve mentioned Ted Nugent, I felt like the lonliest person in the world.
The lps that caught my eye on RSD are:

Frank Black's first two solo lps
Pink Floyd "Obscured By Clouds" mono/done by the same group who did such a wonderful job on the latest re-masters
"4-Way Street" re-mastered by BG and expanded
Colter Wall "Songs of the Plains" Looking at Colter’s picture while listening, I can’t help but wonder where that voice comes from. SQ = Amazing!
The National "High Violet"  Wow!, this lp sounds SO much better than the last time I played it. I thought it sounded good then?
Everything is sounding superb now with the now broken-in Sussurro, it's hard to quit listening. The Pumpkins lp was sounding really good but it is a 3 lp set, so on to other thing.

Noah Gundersen "Ledges"


@reubent ,

It'd be an interesting comparison to the OP/Virgin. You don't happen to have both do you?
Traffic "John Barleycorn Must Die"

Ordered the new box set from Amazon uk.
Eels "Soul Jacker"!!!

@uberwaltz,

Seriously speaking, I think it would be hard for any one to get too much Luna.
@millercarbon,

Is the EJ lp a DJM (Dick James Music) pressing? In the dead wax...is there a funny word like strawberry?

I saw AE in a small local club a couple years ago. He’s such a wonderful artist. (I’m getting chills writing this) Down to earth, no pretence,REAL!

FWIW, did you know Sheila E is a relative?

Norman Greenbaum "Petaluma"

 

A couple years ago, I set out on a search for N G lps. I happily found his 3 lps on WLP.

@jamesclarke,

There’s a thread in the (analog category) someone started where I kind of went through what I was hearing throughout the break-in process...….something like "SoundsSmith Star - Sussurro".

I should be easy to find. If you don’t let me know.
@bdp24 ,

Wow brother! I may have some of the 45s by the groups you mentioned.
The Chocolate Watch band.... 
Allman Brothers "Live @ Fillmore East"  pink/Capricorn

aggravating that this was pressed for record changers....
I like the description you made of your gear @sourpuss123. Very unique and effective.
@drrsutliff ,

Did Kevin have you align his mower belts while you were there?

I'm pleasantly surprised at how good "The Search" is sounding. Nice punchy, clear bass, not bright or etched.
I just ordered a proper record flattener after years of wanting one. I'll report on it after it arrives and have some useful info.
Time to quit f....ing around......I've wanted this lp for years. Tried to find it to no avail. Recently ran across the MOV re-issue at a deep discount and scooped it up...………………………..

Shuggie Otis "Here Comes Shuggie Otis"...….turn it up!!!!!
…...now. Where’s that "Greatest Guitar Player" thread?...…......

and that, my friends, is a guitar masterpiece!
Had a bright idea...going to play an lp I picked up last weekend.....Allman Brothers Band "Fillmore East  (Feb 1970)" Bear's sonic journal. One year earlier than the lp above. Same venue.
Well I'll say The Allman Brothers Band "Fillmore East Feb 1970" (Bear's Sonic Journal) is a sonic mess! Pass it bye.
Regarding The Allman Brothers comparison.....

The 1970 version starts off with "In Memory of Elizabeth Reid".... it’s obvious that the band hasn’t found their groove yet. Thinking about it....it’s pretty amazing that they sounded sooo much better on the later lp, like a couple of years had gone by instead of several months.

The sonics aren’t as good. Let me rephrase that....there is a different microphone set-up, the soundstage is narrower. A completely different set-up for sure. It doesn’t sound awful, just not nearly as good. "Statesboro Blues"...bass is AWAL.
@reubent ,

I've used the Vinyl Flat for years, ever since it's inception. It works, it just requires a lot of attention. Also, it's latest iteration, with the latest heating element, is a step backwards IMO.

I ordered the ORB DP-01iA. It's similar to the Furutech/Air Tight machines.
Above....One hell of a record!

The Jayhawks "Rainy Day Music"
