Eduard van Beinum conducts Brahms - Symphony No. 2 In D Major, Opus 73. Concertgebouw Orchestra Amsterdam. Epic, late 1950’s, Mono

|
Wow! Got the VTA dialed in on this Steely Dan lp with my Stillpoints LP1, exquisite!!
SS could be wider, with another resistor.
|
Think I got the VTA set now.....
|
I failed to mention that my center hole reamer was a great necessity here.
These two lps are a little ticky.😕
|
There's a liguid nature to this music as I'm currently hearing it.
|
Thinking I'll require a different resistor in my phono stage.

Hey @j_husker ,
I experienced that recently with a Yardbirds lp but three sides sounded best , those were 1A, side 2 was a 1D. Big sonic difference.
I do occasionally drink.

Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band-Ragged But Right 2022 Round Records RSD
The Bill Evans Trio-Trio '65 2022 Verve Ume Acoustic Sounds Series
Strange with the Garcia Band set. Sides A,B, and C are not easy to listen to, probably rate them 3 out of 5 stars for sq. The D side is a solid 4.5 stars sonically. Can’t say I’ve experienced this before. I don’t drink and there are no pain meds onboard, so I’m certain its the vinyl and not me!

I think you brought it to my attention, Tom.

BTW, I was able for find a reasonably priced copy of "Sweet Relief" June 2022 RSD exclusive on Discogs. Should be here next Tuesday. Hoping it was worth the effort. Have had it on CD since it's original release, and love the album. I'm not typically a big fan of various artists compilations, but I've always enjoyed this one...

Such a beautiful album!
I (as well as @bdp24 ) agree! Great album...

I’ve been through 4 or 5 off of Amazon. Their return policy is so generous that it’s easy to find one your satisfied with. They have changed brand names often through the years so that makes it hard to recommend one that I’m still using after 4-5 years now. One with a larger water tank is nice. Remember that your usable amount of water is less than the tanks' stated capacity.

Steve,
I never have used one. Is there one you'd recommend in particular?
|
Hey Chris,
Have you ever used a hand held steamer to clean lps? I find it a useful tool in my vinyl cleaning arsenal.

Travis "Good Feeling"
1997/Craft Recordings/1st time on vinyl?
|
Steve,
It's a pp, but unfortunately, I am going to have to send it back to the seller. Just got it today and side two is badly worn and noisy, despite a deceptively clean surface appearance. It was rated NM, clearly on visual inspection only. Oh well, that's the danger of buying on eBay. Usually, I have better luck. I'll find a better one.
|
Hey Chris. Is the Dolly a pp or the latest version?
|
Weather Report -- "Mysterious Traveler"
@slaw
Good to see you're getting some quality listening time during your recovery process, Steve. Gotta get on that Marty Stuart record!

Cozy Cole, Buddy Tate, Wallace Davenport, Vic Dickenson – French Festival - Nice, France 1974 (Classic Jazz 1975)
Love this album.
|
Just arrived today, took me by a bit of a surprise, as it was sold as the stereo version, but instead the mono version, but it is very clean, and will keep it. Sounds very nice, and gives me a reason to put on my Ortofon mono cartridge and spin some of my mono collection….which I have been meaning to do.
The Kohon Quartet of New York University : Dvořák - Chamber Music Vol. II (Complete). VOX 3LP box, believe mid-1960’s, mono

@slaw How did you like the Dan? I'm still waiting on mine. It's scheduled to arrive tomorrow.
