@big_greg,

I have the TP MCA Masterphile "Hard Promises"...I think I did a comparison a while back to the box set, but I can't remember my thoughts on it now.
...…...……….....................…..
Pink Floyd "Wish you Were Here"  2016 re-master
Steve Phillips "Steel Rail Blues"
@reubent ,

Alan Parsons lps are always great sounding and a safe bet used. He was a go-to of mine in my high school days.
………............……...…...….
Donny Hathaway "Live" Germany/re-issue/1972 but has that cursed bar code......Damn-it!
I just retrieved my Sides 3&4 of Joy Division from the ORB. it is now perfectly flat to my eyes.....
@boxer12,

Happened across this Friday,..
Molina & Johnson "S/T", got it today.
Apparently they crossed paths and decided to record this lp.

I now you're a JM fan. I"ll get to it next weekend.
@drrsutliff ,

I always look forward to hearing a new cartridge broken in, but for me, hearing the changes is a learning experience that I've come to appreciate.
Nice to hear! Jim.

If you can tell that this early on, I'd say your set-up is very good so far.
finishing up Dave Alvin "King of California"
.......................................................
these arrived today:
Norah Jones "Pick me up Off the Floor"
Molina & Johnson 'S/T"
boxer,

Yup, I concur...that's how mine will be set up as well

BTW, Is the Julie Ruin on lp?
boxer,

Just ordered "Run Fast" & "Hit Reset". Been watching this band for a long time. I struck while the iron was hot!
@noromance ,.

Do you have a path going forward? Maybe FO.Q tape or something similar?
@boxer12,

My tt project will have separate arm pods for my ET 2.5 & Moerch DP-8
Well I haven’t installed my "Cartridge Enabler" yet, may be an inexpensive option?

I’ve always had an internal desire to make what I already own, better.
Lions & Ghosts "Velvet Kiss, Lick of the Lime" ...an experimental lp for me...
….........… after side one, I consider this lp fluff/a dud for content.
I wasn't actively looking for it but a new/unsealed/never played Beatles "Blue Box" UK came on my radar last week, so it's sitting on a record rack now.

Up soon:
The Spinners "MFSL"
Average White Band "S/T"
"Cannibal Courtship" just continues to improve is SQ as my system improves. Highly Enjoyable!
Liz Phair "S/T" from 2003, mine is the 2017 re-issue/colored dbl vinyl. Side one is kind of dark brown translucent and it’s easy to see through. I actually bought my daughter this cd when it came out. I always liked it and wished for the vinyl. My wish has come true.

More later.
@reubent ,

I have that lp on MFSL....haven't listened in 30 years.

BTW, I knew one of the members' ex-wife and her family. Used to party with her and her brother. I asked her out once.....I now realize she let me down in a cool way by offering to set me up with someone else...…..
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,......….....After sides 1 & 2 the SQ is more than acceptable. Nothing tipped up or any noticeable compression. My history with current Capitol re-masters has been mostly negative. Not here.
@uberwaltz,

You have a great friend.
...……......…………………….........
Califone "Stitches"


@uberwaltz,

You said it well brother.
……………............…
Suzanne Vega "Beauty and Crime"  Classic Records
I pulled out my lp of Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush "Tales of the Unexpected" a couple weeks ago and it blew me away!

Here's an lp that is very well it's equal and I have no problem exclaiming it's superiority...….
