@6t5_gto,

Yep. When I auditioned them a long time ago, I fell in love with their sound. I then moved up the ladder from Tiny Dancer Mini One Diamonds to the Mini Two Diamonds. I'm sure better sound can be had but I'm perfectly happy.

BTW, the buyer is very happy with the sound.
The Flaming Lips "The King Bug Laughs"  from the '94-'97 Headdynuggs box
@noromance 

What tt/arm are you using with the four carts?

Like uberwaltz, I've had an eye out for a possible Decca, especially since my Rock 7 is said to be a synergistic match with the damping trough at the cart end.
@noromance

It looks like a Garrard/Jelco.

I just thought it may be helpful for those not willing to take an extra step and find out for themselves.

Very nice! Glad you’ve been posting your music choices here. I noticed a while back you posted First Aid Kit. I've had them low on my radar and never pulled the trigger. What are your impressions and are they similar to any other artist?
Playing K T Stunstall "Drastic Fantastic" again. (Was) warped last weekend. SQ = Very, Very Good
I just realized, while I was taking the Manfred Mann lp off my tt...I was smiling. Then I realized I've been smiling for a few hours.... yeah!
I ran across a "new-to-me" artist recently that caught my ear. Steve Marion aka: Delicate Steve. I did a quick search and a quick audition and was impressed enough that I ordered 4 of his 5 lps. I was planning on listening in the natural progression of his output but his first lp came in damaged. So (the best laid plans), I'm going ahead without the first one soon.
Delicate Steve "Positive Force"

 This is an instrumental record, (as are all of his, I think). What grabs me is while listening to it, I almost imagine lyrics being sung. An interesting artist for sure. Those that are looking for something different and engrossing, here it is.
I love that lp title!

"Argus" is such a great record!
Rush "2112" /2015 half speed re-master

Wowzers! Haven't heard this in a while/since my latest system configurations. I wish MFSL would offer this one on their latest vinyl profile. I'd be first in line.
Just US cleaned my two original US pressings of Manfred Mann "The Roaring Silence". ...good things to come.......
AC/DC "Let There Be Rock" SV. I’m pretty sure this lp from my boxset is superior.
Eddie Money "No Control".  Mint!

I don't think I ever listened to this lp. I owned the cassette.

SQ = EX!
The Buddy Holly lp sounds remarkable!

Trixie Whitley "Fourth Corner" import
Caroline Spence "Mint Condition"

Got NO love when I introduced it here a while back. I love it!
Alejandro Escovedo "The Crossing"

I recently found out the Sheila E is (Escovedo) Alejandro's cousin.
Emmy Lou Harris "Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town" MFSL

One of my very early MOFI purchases @ a record show (used) , vinyl still looks pristine. Her voice is represented so beautifully on this record.
T-Rex "Tanx"  WLP
"A Night in the Tropics" Utah Symphony Orchestra   TAS list
