I am at the stage now where I never plan my vinyl, just close my eyes and pull one out and spin her up. Now I do have four tables so that causes me more grief on choice and combos than the vinyl. Took the ZYX off my Nottingham last night and mounted a Scheu Analog MC SL in its place. A much better match for the Nottingham imho . The ZYX was really too light at just 4.2gm. The Scheu comes in at 8.8gm, which has my counterweight much further the end now. Much more body and dynamics. This morning I mounted the ZYX on my Denon with the Black Widow arm which is ultralight and thought they would be a good match. Still tweaking and listening to see if I prefer to the vintage mm carts have been using like Sonus and ADC. Spinning now; Songs from the Big Chair ... Tears for Fears. |
@big_greg I totally get it, a bunch of folks pitched a fit when Mofi put out the first One Step for $100 and felt that Mofi was fleecing folks. I can understand their issues with the pricing but I also understand a bit about the One Step process and why it would be so expensive to manufacture. The next release in the run is Marvin Gaye's What's Going On, I am pretty stoked because I love that record but the cost is going to $125 and Mofi cites it is due to an improvement in vinyl to JVC type 'SuperVinyl' I also found out recently that they are 'cryogenically' treating the stampers to further improve their consistency over stamps. All I can say is that I own the Bridge Over Troubled Water version and it is one of, if not the best, piece of vinyl that I own. I have the Donald Fagen as well and it is MUCH BETTER than the three original pressings I owned before. Also, if you get a copy and don't think it is worth it you can get out of it what you pay for it or more. My two cents |
Making my way through a stack of records I picked up at a 2nd & Charles store over the weekend. I've started making myself listen to everything I buy before it ever hits my record shelf, and I'm supposed to listen to everything I buy before I buy anything else, although I don't always follow this self imposed rule. Off work for MLK day yesterday I made my way through - Delaney and Bonnie "On Tour Featuring Eric Clapton", Sade "Diamond Life", Odetta "Sometimes I Feel like Crying Randy Newman "Good Old Boys" Duke Ellington "Ellington Jazz Party" Paul Simon "Paul Simon" Jeff Beck "Wired" Dave Brubeck and Paul Desmond "1975; the Duets" Elton John "Tumbleweed Connection" The Outlaws "Outlaws" and Daft Punk "Random Access Memories" |
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT 1/25/19 You heard it hear first, on the "What's on your Turntable Tonight?" thread..... 60% off sale started again today at InSound - www.insound.com Click on the VINYL tab, right under INSOUND on the homepage for a complete list of artist and LPs available. Looks like they have 438 LPs to chose from at the moment. I loaded up on the previous sale, just before Christmas. Ended up buying 13 LPs, all at great prices. Almost all of them turned out to be gems. All arrived in perfect new condition and played great. I really like all of them, except "Test for Echos" and "Red Dirt Girl".
