Steve, do you have the ability to switch between the two phono pre’s ‘on the fly’? That would be interesting.

So far my impressions are positive on my new to me phono stage. I feel comparing resistors in the MC , will be critical. Then I’ll focus on a passive volume.

 

There’s a beauty now in the presentation that wasn’t there before. Although the SS could have more bloom😕 Lot’s of options going forward .

 

There’s much more of a difference in album to album SQ now.

 

A blessing and a curse

 

Another interesting fact, my Trio uses 3/6922

The Audia Flight is SS. Bass is incredible.

Hey Joel,

I have the op of that Beth Hart lp and it sounds great from memory. 

Her Albert Hall set is great!

Beth Hart  -  Bang Bang Boom Boom   White vinyl reissue, limited to 500 copies.  With all that hype I figured it would be great SQ.  Well, just so-so.  But the music is great!  Love Beth Hart.

Alan Parsons Project  -  Eye In The Sky   Mobile Fidelity issue, just released.  I always like this album very much.  But I can't find my copy.  So, I bought this reissue from MoFi.  WOW, they really did an excellent job on this one.  Exceptionally quiet vinyl, killer sonics.  

The Traffic album is recommended. Really quiet and great sounding! 

Same as the box set pressing.

Gregg Allman / Laid Back
2015 Analogue Productions, orig. 1973

Fabulous SQ on these records tonight!

Steely Dan / Aja
1977 ABC

Back from some R&R on the Oregon Coast, blue skies and ocean breezes.. Needing some high-fidelity tonight, this LP does it.

Loggins and Messina - S/T

1972 Columbia 

Nice sounding pressing. Great job by Jimmy Messina producing especially on Angry Eyes.

 

Picked up a mint copy of Big World by Joe Jackson for $7 at a local record store.  Excellent recording - listening to it right now. Also, no ticks and pops (rare w used records).

Another new arrival today….

Daniil Trifonov - Bach: The Art Of Life. Deutsche Grammophon 2021 3LP gatefold.

Terry Allen & The Panhandle Mystery Band "Bloodlines" 

2022/Paradise of Batchelors  

a replacement copy 🤞

@slaw Jack White is a genius and keeping vinyl alive. 

I am listening to The Beatles Greatest Hits 1961-1966 the lost performances.

Radiohead, Kid A Mnesia 

Jeremy Ivey "The Dream & the Dreamer"

2019/ANTI-

a streaming discovery 

really enjoying, check it out!

Just realizing how fortunate I am to be able to enjoy a Pink Floyd concert on vinyl at home 🏡

@slaw 

It did spur me to check out Kami and her husband’s band; The Rails. Streaming now, not great SQ (their latest), but interesting.

So much music, so little time….🙃

Elvis Costello And the Attractions

"Armed Forces" - UK first pressing, January 1979
