@tomic601, I just received notice from Revolution Hall that tickets for the Hiatt/Douglas show are on sale. Not too bad, $45 I think. No mention yet of a cancellation, though the Oregon Governor is implementing some measures. I saw Jerry at Revolution when he toured in support of his last album, and his music that night was in the "Progressive Bluegrass" style (yes, there is such a thing), rather than Traditional. The Progressive strain has a lot of Jazz elements---no vocals, lots of soloing. I myself prefer Traditional, but I'll take Jerry Douglas---my favorite living musician (with Ry Cooder a very close second)---any way I can get him! |
@slaw
cardis disc arrived, thank you will give it a try
Bob Marley

You're welcome @ j_damon. I hope it increases you're musical enjoyment. |
Well I finally did it my friends. I installed my long planned wall isolation unit. Will post some pictures on my systems' page later on. Weeee doggies! |
Shelf isolate? Good for you! 🤗 |
|
Well I actually it’s an isolation and decoupling unit in one.
I'm using some of your springs Geoff. |
Beautiful Vision .... Van Morrison.
One of the album's I bought from molecules in motion.
Probably better than described.
And first run for my NOS Dynavector Karat 23RS Cart.
Ruby cantilever, tiny little stubby thing pretty hard to set up by eye!
But sounds glorious and it's not Broken in at all. |
Pics up now.
.,.,..,..,..,
Great find Uber! |
Hot Tuna "Live...Double Dose" pp/Grunt/1978 |
@uberwaltz,
I have 2 worn out Karat D3s that I'm planning on having rebuilt to go on my Vpi & Rock 7 @ some point for comparison now that I have them both set up on the same platform. |
Regarding the effectiveness of the new set-up,....my washer is just 12’ away in another room. On all cycles, I have no noticeable disturbance with lp playback now.
Sonics are more soulful, increase tonality, openness without being at all harsh....my Trio doesn’t vibrate at all on loud bass info. |
Slaw
Yea I was lucky to find this little "gem" on ebay of all places at a very fair price imho.
Complete in the box with all paperwork including original graph traces.
Glad to know it is liked by others as well.
Will be looking at your shelf pix next sir!

I freed up several desirable footers and platforms with this change. I'm certain to put a Symposium Ultra up for sale soon on USAM. |
|
"LP5" sounded good the first time I heard it, but it is so much more enjoyable/meaningful now. |
"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" DJM/pp/wonderful! |
Courtney Barnett "Sometimes I Sit & Think......" |
nice Slaw, run the surplus toy list by us first!!!
Uber the Ruby 23 was our best selling cart and sweet :-) great score.
fun |
Thx Tomic.
Yes it is very impressive so far, I prefer it to my Koetsu ATM.
The English Settlement ... XTC |
Jay McShann – Confessin' The Blues (Classic Jazz 1978)
Magic. Everyone's taking bad shots at the pool table cos the rhythm's shaking them up.
Richard "Groove" Holmes - Living Soul (Prestige 1966 mono)
Not a big fan of organ in jazz but this guy just oozes "Harlem." |
Jack Teagarden
(With Red Nichols’ Louisiana Rhythm Kings, Adrian Rollini’s Orchestra, Eddie Lang-Joe Venuti And Their All Star Orchestra, Eddie Condon And His Orchestra, Louis Armstrong And The All Stars) - The Golden Horn Of Jack Teagarden (Decca 1964)
Worth it to hear Louis say "Blow it, Jack, blow it." Magnificent music.
|
Yes Slaw, offer the goodies to the buddies first...😉😉 |
Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions "Until The Hunter" |
@noromance looked at your two systems the other day as a consequence of the 301 TT thread - very nice! Love the Vintage system and the basement record vault... |
|
Well @tomic601 & @ uberwaltz,
This was my intention when I made the earlier statement. The Symposium Ultra / 24" x 19" was originally an amp platform as noted by the name tag on the long end. I’m the second owner. Has some cosmetic issues. Used under my TT for years, Comes with 3 Symposium couplers and a new factory shipping box.
For now, this is all I'm willing to part with.
Interested parties PM me. |
King Curtis - Soul Serenade (Capitol 1964)
FDS recording is upfront with the sax in your face and added echo. But they forgot to bring the low end up in the mix. Great stuff.
|
Radiohead "Pablo Honey" Capitol/re-issue |
Lionel Hampton And His Orchestra – Hamp's Big Band (Audio Fidelity 1959 mono)
Brilliant. Superb recording. Soaring dynamics. These last 4 or 5 records were in my Meh section. I played a few tracks years ago and they weren't great. However, after a few years of upgrades - mostly the 401 bearing, idler and platter, the better Jelco AND the concrete platform - the rig is ridiculous. Rock solid and so in tune. This stuff sounds fantastic.
Buy this album.

Steve I was just messing with ya - I am holding out for the “ Everything Must Go “ sale !!! And that’s my final offer :-)

Steely Dan - Everything Must Go |
Colosseum "Daughter of Time" WLP |
Hey @tomic601 ,
I'll hold my washing machine test up against Harry's 4 sub test any day. |
Hamp’s mono disc on the way - love this thread, discogs and fake virtual $$$$$ |
@slaw put a comforter in there and get it off balance.... now that’s a test !!!!
|
Been there done that.
There's even a reason for the set-up... the component positioning. No _hit! |
The Colosseum lp is f. Ing awesome! |
So glad you nailed it !!!!!
i had a win today tracing down some noise - nothing like your improvement I am sure but a nice Dopamine hit !!! |
Calling @boxer12... where you been buddy? |
Up now..Courtney Barnett "MTV, Unplugged" |
