Steve Winwood-Arc Of A Diver Side 1

Al Cohn-Standards Of Excellence(CJ 241) Side 2 SQ Audiophile

Nancy Wilson-Nancy(ST 148) Side 1

CJ 241 takes the SQ Crown with a very strong(content) effort. Ms. Wilson has over 50 studio albums not all are keepers, this one is! Megadeth The Sick...is a decent later(2018) release but far from the band’s last masterpiece(Endgame 2009). SQ was an improvement tonight over Friday will let IC’s settle in until month’s end.

Absolutely @mofimadness!

Bring The Family is an all-time Top 10 album for me. I have in on a USA original, the UK pressing on Demon Records (with a bizarre alternate cover), and the MoFi.

The MoFi One-Step of Tapestry is the only version of that classic album that doesn't sound horrible. It was produced by Lou Adler, who obviously has no idea of how to record this type of music. He ran the meters deep into the red when recording Carole's vocals. Her piano also sounds pretty lousy.

@arizonabob ,

I must have misread your initial post. I agree that a true mono cartridge will sound better on mono recordings than a stereo cartridge summed to mono elsewhere in the signal chain.
