@dayglow So you did, thanks. Great memory BTW, I looked but missed it.
|
@bslon I appreciate the interest. I sent you a PM 8-25-22 with a very detailed equipment list since you had asked. The only change has been a Phasemation pp 200 which has replaced a Goldring Legacy cartridge.
|
@dayglow
I’m wondering what your system consists of, it would give your SQ ratings some context. Especially your turntable, arm and phono with your new cartridge.
Your playlist selections are all over the board (like @noromance), I like that, especially for streaming new (to me) music. Thanks for that.

Krystol-Passion From A Woman Side 1
The Cars-Candy-O Side 2 SQ*
Another Strong SQ night, might be due to the Phasemation 200? Have about 35 hours on it, at 50 will give a very brief overview. Dick Haymes takes the SQ crown tonight with one of my favorite male Jazz Vocal recordings in my vinyl collection.

Eagles-Live Side 3 SQ Audiophile
Jackie And Roy-Star Sounds(CJ 115) Side 1 SQ*

Rare Silk-Black & Blue Side 2
Beethoven-Symphony No.4(Vienna/Schmidt CS 6512) Side 1 SQ Audiophile
Joni Mitchell-Wild Things Run Fast Side 1 SQ Audiophile
Triumph-Never Surrender Side 2
With 3 Audiophile SQ recordings and 2 near misses makes for a well above average SQ night. Journey/Triumph are very well recorded for Pop/Rock. Rare Silk had a little digital sharpness that keep it from SQ* status. Too close for a definitive SQ winner tonight but the edge goes to the Eagles.

@slaw - Should have set up the US RCM a long time ago. I thought it would be more complicated than it turned out to be. Need to go back and read some of the old threads about folks process/procedures.
