Well @big-greg,
I think recently , you posted About how hard it is to find a quiet copy?
So, how's that 4 sided pressing? |
@slaw I bought it second hand and it has a little surface noise in spots, but it sounds really nice. This might end up being more of a collectible than something I'll play often. |
Guys,
I'm posting as I'm learning. Thanks for putting up with me.
I the past, I always noticed some things about my system presentation that I felt were very important. While they are, I'm fastly, in recent weeks, coming to realize there is more.
Great transient response is really nice, but when it''s presented in a more tonal/natural/not in your face way, it takes on another meaning.
Nice tight bass response is great, but after hearing live music, that isn't really THE way I want to hear it in my space. Live low bass isn't "nice & tight". It has a deeper, meaningful, structural feeling.
These are just a few changes I'm experiencing now that really makes my system relate way more emotion. This is really drawing me in.
To be continued.............. |

@big_greg,
If you want to sell, let me know. |
@slaw I think she's a keeper, but if I decide to show her the door, I'll send her your way! |
|
Frankly, this relatively inexpensive Duelund cable is providing me with all the new thoughts. It’s very articulate and musical, and revealing in such a natural way, with Zero negatives. |

@bkeske,
Early on, Grieg’s Peer Gynt moved me enough to buy an lp. Looking for it now to no avail. Have not forgotten about you.
Pretty sure it was on Decca

I sold my Music Hall 7.1 turntable yesterday and have moved my JVC QL-Y66F into its spot in my computer room system. It's set up with a Shure V15 Type IV with Jico SAS and using the Parks Puffin phono stage. Giving Frank Sinatra's Nice 'n' Easy MFSL a spin. Sounds really good so far! This system has been mainly digital, but I see more vinyl getting played here in the future. |

So are you looking at another TT to replace the Music Hall or staying just with the JVC? |
@uberwaltz I am set (for now) with turntables. I bought a VPI Classic 2 for my main system recently and had one more turntable than I can use. So I have the Classic 2 and Technics SL1200 MKII in my main system, the JVC in my computer room, a Music Hall MMF 2.2 in my office system and a Realistic LAB 440 in my bedroom.
I thought about keeping the 7.1 and selling the 2.2 as it is a much better table, but I almost never use the 2.2 and knew I could get more money for the 7.1.
The LAB 440 is kind of a sleeper - direct drive, auto-start and shut-off. I hardly ever use it either, but the auto shut-off is nice for the bedroom, no worries about records spinning all night if I fall asleep in the middle of a record. |
Greg
You have more TT than I do... lol
Not that there is such a thing as too many of course......
Enjoy and happy holiday weekend although not much to celebrate right now. |
@uberwaltz Enjoy your weekend! I'm going to do a little tweaking. I want to try out the Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood that was on the 7.1 with the SL1200 MKII. Also running some CAT 8 to my streamer. I'm skeptical it will make any difference, but we'll see. It was inexpensive. |
I ran a whole new 75ft cat8 cable from my upstairs modem to my downstairs switch which replaced a pretty old cat5 cable.
Not sure if I really heard any SQ difference BUT the occasional dropouts and disconnect I had seen at times appears to have ceased so there is that.
And of course that could have simply been some tiny corrosion on the contacts....... |
Starting off with Fred Neil again. |

All 3 John Prine records have been cleaned. "In Spite of Ourselves" just went into the ORB. I really wanted to listen to these in the natural chronological progression of their release. It will be a little while longer. Hopefully the phrase "good things come to those who wait" will apply? |
@uberwaltz,
Any progress with the Shunyata? |
