I love this album but this 200g pressing stinks! Horribly compressed and totally lacking in any life or dynamics.

tomic601,
We always write what we play and I realized that not playing also defines some (non)listening circumstance. It has, in fact, been a no-music evening here. Not necessarily quiet, but one of those without music. It happens from time to time.
|
I bought a new (to me) Pass Labs XP-15 phono stage and have been trying out different cartridges with it. My Denon 301 MKII sounded really nice with it. Then on to the Van Den Hul MC Two Special. I had a hard time getting this one to sound as good as I know it can. More experimentation later with that one... then on to the Nagaoka MP 500. Sounds very good!
Listened to a somewhat worn copy of CSNY Deja Vu and it sounded really nice and played pretty quiet.
All listening done on my Technics SL 1200 MK2. I love that the Pass has so many loading and gain settings and they are relatively easy to get to without having to remove the cover. |
|
@pgk1 - Welcome to the "What's on your Turntable tonight?" thread. Keep 'em coming........ |
|
Hey Greg,
Isn’t the 1200 is great for making easy comparisons and experiments with different cartridges. I really keep only two going at any one time but I’ve read that In some parts there is a lot of switching of pre-loaded headshells going on - like for every genre or even on almost every album.
I’ll be interested to read about you finding your favorites.
|
The 1200 is the first turntable I've owned that allows switching of headshells, and it's pretty cool to be able to do that quickly. I don't see myself switching them up with every record though, LOL. Right now I have 4 cartridges that I can switch in and out. I haven't tried my Shure V15 Type IV with Jico SAS stylus yet. I do have a couple more cartridges sitting around that I'd like to try. More headshells may be acquired soon! I bought a small case that will hold 5, so I can have one on the table and 5 others available. |
And of course there is the slot on the plinth for keeping and extra headshell handy by. I keep a modest Ortofon elliptical loaded there for lesser records. I got an LP gear Zupreme headshell that I really like. I think it was about 70 bucks but it’s really solid and sounds quite good I think. If I might ask, What brand is your case that holds 5 headshells? |
Awesome Big Greg - was that Pass from TMR ? |
A bit in arrears:
Bob Dylan and The Band - Before The Flood
Liona Boyd - Virtuoso ( and IMO she is ! )
David Crosby- If I could only remember my name |
@glupson understand the absence... father in law had a three day ER/ hospital stay recently.... |
I bought the case from ebay from seller emjmusic. I bought the Pass phono stage from a dealer in southern California. |
Snow Live ..... Spock's Beard.
3 LP set LTD in white.
Now this is new vinyl that sounds sublime!
Or it's the new Spatial speakers..... |
So they arrived, Maggie’s pouting somewhere as her former lover abandons her.... |
LMAO Tomic.
Actually thinking of using the Maggie's as bass absorption panels......
😁😁 |
Spacial getting great reviews. 5s? Very interested to know your impressions @Uber |
@uber, don’t they perform that function while in use...? |
