Whats on your turntable tonight?


For me its the first or very early LP's of:
Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South"
Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue
Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer"
and,
Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
slipknot1

 

Barcode/reissue

sounds better to me than the MFSL..errr, not better but much more enjoyable.Not usually a good idea to bring more emphasis on an imperfect recording.

Queen-The Game Side 1 SQ*

Mannfred Mann's Earth Band-Watch Side 1 SQ*

Fleetwood Mac-Mirage Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Dave Brubeck-Jackpot Side 2

Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers-Long After Dark Side 1

Al Stewart-Time Passages Side 1

Stevie Ray Vaughan-Soul To Soul Side 1

Al Jarreau-Heart's Horizon Side 2

All 8 albums have NOT been previously played. Purchased about 2 dozen albums from a recent garage/yard sale! None of the albums had below average SQ but was disappointed with the SQ of Time Passages(could be my copy).

Horace Silver Quintet, Song for my Father BST 84185

Nice pressing. Breaking in a new cartridge, Argent MC-500HR

Peter Case " The Man With the Blue Postmodern Fragmented Neo-Traditionalist Guitar"

1989/Geffen 

Sounds great....I believe a Fremer pick.

SQ is, IMO subjective based on our audio friend’s personal systems There is a common tie...passion for music 

IMO, content is the main factor

Queen / A Night At The Opera
2000 DCC Compact Classics No.1322 RE, orig. 1976

@slaw    I understand your point. I rarely comment on content due to its subjective nature. Sound quality is much more objective and IMO could be helpful. I wish more posters would comment on SQ.

@dayglow , I purposefully leave that out, for potential further discussion.

I think our passion should be a sought out interest.

Those of us who provide personal experience should be awarded with passionate interest.

@slaw    Thx for the reply. I aways mention SQ of an album(played) to help inform a potential buyer. We only have so much space on our shelves.
