Supertramp - Crisis! What Crisis? 1975 A&M Records

A great album that doesn't get enough credit in the shadow of Crime Of The Century and Breakfast In America.

@bkeske not familiar with the belt drive KD series, but I know the direct drive stuff is awfully good. I’ve owned a number of dd tables, Pioneer, Sony, Dual etc. So far this block of artificial granite is my favorite.

The 2055 I have is the ‘granite’ plinth as well. That sold me on it. Just a simpler belt drive version of the ‘rock’ direct drive tables.

@sbank  - Hey Spencer. Thanks for the recommendation of Robbie Robertson - "How to be Clairvoyant". It came yesterday and I had my first listen yesterday afternoon.

@reubent impressions of "Clairvoyant"? I find it smooth as 30yr. old scotch.

So my impressions are mixed. I like the songs, I'm lukewarm on the production. The bass is mixed a bit heavy and wooly IMHO. I like the production quality of the S/T release much better. But the S/T release is from 1987. Older than 30 y.o. scotch. And smoother too...

I give it another go in the next few days. Maybe it's aged a bit since my first listen.

@tomic601

Thank you. Email me tomorrow at support@audiogon.com and I'll try to help. :)

@mammothguy54  - I bought my NM/NM- copy of Danny and the Fat Boys - "American Music" two weeks ago for $40. It is a fantastic album overall, although I don't love the first 2 selections on the first side. They are not bad, they are just a style/genre I don't love. However, everything else is simply amazing to me...

You deserve this my friends:

Joel - It was a splurge. $75 , seller only has 25 LP for sale on Discogs, ….jim

But I do have a new copy on the way of Danny Gatton / 88 Elmira Street.

Acoustic Sounds has that reissue at $34.98, if anyone is interested.

I was looking for that American Music album but could only find it for between $59 and $100, on Discogs in NM/M- condition.  Rather pricey.  Any suggestions?

New arrival….Danny and the Fat Boys - American Music ( Gatton , M, sealed in shrink )…. licking my chops but will wait for the US cleaner…

@j_husker  - Congrats on the vintage Kenwood TT. I've always wanted one of the Kenwood "The Rock" turntables since I first saw one in the early '80s. There is a guy locally who has a kd-550 he may want to sale. I really should go take a look at it...

I have a Kenwood 2055 sitting in my basement. Have had since new back in the mid-70's. Loved that table, but just had too many issues after to bringing it upstairs, to check out vinyl again, to keep it in service going forward with any re-journey into vinyl. For sentimental reasons, Ive just never thought about getting rid of it.

The 2055 is a belt drive vs the 500 and I assume 600 series which were direct drive.

“The Rock” tables are very rare around here and I couldn’t let this one pass by. It’s a beast for sure. Needed a new dust cover and hinges, and a decent power cord. Had a 681eee on it, which sounded fine but NOT mp-200 fine. 

In the process of integrating it I decided to try it hooked to the MA-352 onboard MM phono card before running it through the Channel Islands PEQ. A bit shocked honestly. The MA-352 phono stage is probably decent by most standards but I was instantly reassured of just how effing good the CIAudio is.

Listening on a new-to-me Kenwood KD-650 that showed up at my local vintage store recently and begged to come home with me. Put a Nag MP-200 on it, so far it’s quite impressive.
