Hey @boxer12,
What motor are you using on your DIY TT? DC....AC? |
Foreigner "Double Vision" MFSL |
Hey Slaw,
Hurst AC synchronous 300 RPM.
Model #
LYD55T115DL.
VPI uses P/N SP4007 which I have on hand as a spare. I suspect that Hurst part number is either 3201-001 or 3203-001. You'll have to ask them to be sure. FWIW, my initial motor was a Hurst RA 3901-001 & I hated it. Wasn't smooth enough. The LYD55T11DL is incredibly smooth but not as powerful. Once it's moving it isn't an issue... Stable, smooth & sounds wonderful but... It requires slight help to get started. This isn't an issue for me because the platter is out in the open & 4" thick. It would probably not be required with a thinner platter, don't know.

Do you use a motor controller?

Once I have filled up my shelving racks there is plenty of room to add another Kallax four cube unit on top of each present one.😇😇 |
@boxer12 Both of my next door neighbors are out of town :) |
|
Has anyone been inspired to buy something mentioned here? |
Yes :-) many of us have bought discs mentioned here.... this is IMO best thread and peeps on Gon |
@elliottbnewcombjr,
I’ve purchased several and always try to give props when that happens. |
Many times have purchased due to recommendations or even just mentions of records on this thread.
These "whats on" threads are the best source of finding out and getting a feel for new grooves for many Gon members.
Its a sick addiction though I am afraid........ |
Eels "Daisies of the Galaxy" |
On the way home so be some records spinning later tonight. |
Low "Ones and Sixes"
Didn't get around to listening to most of it last night because it never had been US cleaned....that has been rectified. |
BTW, @boxer12, thanks for the motor info! |
"Ones and Sixes" is IMO, a great record. I do realize this band is not everyone's cup o' tea. The SQ is EX and the last track has low bass man. Much lower than PF "DSOTM". |
I’m not a jazz guy although the thought of becoming a jazz guy intrigues me. Here’s an lp I bought solely on a fellow members’ recommendation. Never auditioned it. Here goes....
Art Lande and Rubisa Patrol "Desert Marauders" ECM 1106/promo/1978/Germany |
I have not been able to get into pure Jazz as such.
Jazz Fusion or crossover is as far as I can handle. |
uber,
I thoroughly enjoyed Desert Marauders. It is surely a different experience from rock/blues, so upon more selections, I’m sure I can find "that place" I crave for musical pleasure. |
Big Greg, LOL & understood
Slaw, No problem |
Finishing another from last night...
Eric Clapton "Live in San Diego" lp 3 |
Sting "Mercury Falling" 1996/Universal-EU/re-issue |

Tony Joe White "Hoodoo"
@tomic601 ,. You gotta get this!

Jon Raven – Harvest (Broadside 1976)
Interesting Folk record from a member of Killing Joke. Pretty rare. |
Vince Gill "Okie"
; one of the greatest male vocalist ever! |
Art Hodes – Sittin' In - Volume I (Blue Note 1969)
1944 Blue Note recordings.
|
Jane Morgan – The Second Time Around
(Kapp 1961 mono)
Love these old original recordings. Sounds great. Borderline saccharine angelic backup choral but Jane’s voice is magic.
|
The Jonah Jones Quartet – At The Embers (RCA Victor 1959 RE mono [1956])
|
Ric Ocasek "This Side of Paradise" |
Kay Starr – Sings, Volume 2 (Coronet 1963)

Leonard Cohen - Dear Heather (Columbia RE 180)

Third Stage ..... Boston. |
Elvis Costello And The Attractions – Punch The Clock (Columbia 1983)
’Shipbuilding’ is one of the greatest songs ever. Robert Wyatt does a great version. |
uber....
Cool the engines.................. |
@slaw I got HooDoo on the streamer... volume low as Ancient Labrador and War Dept napping.... its got cranking potential.... |
The Patti Page showed up today, gotta get it run thru the Nitty and play tonight.... recommended by @noromance - that’s the way this thread rolls !!!!!
|
Slaw.
Boston S/T is a fantastic album in all aspects especially SQ.
Third Stage.... Not so much...... |
Nice oldie I picked up and us cleaned.
Traffic S/T. |
Uber,
I will disagree on Third Stage |
Bloomstedt conducts Nielsen. The Symphonies of Carl Nielsen box set. Danish Radio Symphony Orchestra. Symphonies 4&5. Saraphim (Capital) 1975 |
@slaw Eels "Souljacker" op Eels "Daisies of the Galaxy"
Love the Eels. On vinyl? I’m jealous. |
@bkeske,
I've been missing your posts brother!
..............................
My Morning Jacket "Circuital" 45rpm |
Slaw
Then I must have a shite copy as the SQ is sadly lacking especially mid and low bass.... I had to check to see if my woofers had shut down!
I know it's a USA club edition but that's all I know. It's in great shape, no surface noise or pops,just lifeless.
The original 68 Traffic album following it knocks it out the ballpark. |
I’ve been missing your posts brother! Been extremely busy man, and haven’t spun too many albums since Monday. But, it’s the weekend, so hopefully can relax over the next couple days and do what I love best. |
