@geof3 As a package the 40th Anniversary set of FTK is fantastic. The original album sounds slightly richer than the original to me, vocals may be a little more forward in places (out in the soundstage). I didn’t get the box with the digital stuff, just the 4 records. Some real treats in the set.
So, after our recent exchange here I picked up my third try copy of Hold Your Fire on Vinyl. My favorite LRS, Music Millennium, had the 2016 Direct Metal Master version pressed at QRP for a really decent price. Haven’t put it on yet but I hold great hope that it will finally surpass the digital.
Tai Shan Baby!

@slaw I'll get to her eventually. I have some things sitting in the on deck bin that have been there for months.
I put some new (to me) amps and interconnects in my system today and am sticking to familiar material so I get a better idea of their character. |
@audiguy85,
Why not give it a spin? Or if you’re afraid to, bring it on over here and we’ll put it on my stereo.... |

@tomic601 Some day. Imagine jazz clubbing it every weekend? I've never been there. We used brunch every weekend in a diner dive-bar with great local no-name musicians. Miss it.

this is seriously good |
Left the new (to me) motor on all night, noticeable difference.
When I bought the VPI, I let it's motor run a solid week before I put it in my system. |
|
What’s cool about the SOTA Eclipse (package) is no more tedious weekly manual speed adjustments per the ADS. Additionally, it provides a (soft start) which provides less stress on the belt.
The improved SQ isn’t lost on me either.
Will probably order an Origin Live belt soon.
Thanks to Bill @Phoenix Engineering for his helpfullness with all of my questions.
BTW, my system is much quieter because of the help I received for grounding. |

Sounds great Steve, congrats. I know, eventually, I’ll need to send my SOTA in to get a tune-up and newer motor installed. I check my speed every other day or so. Not a huge deal, but would be great if it was more consistent. With your set-up, as I understand, it does the work for you. And, it has improved the sound of your VPI. win win 👍🏼 |
|
BTW, all of the lps in the Prince box I've played so far are quiet!! |
Been meaning to play this set for the last few days, as I have not spun it for a while.

When your system is quiet... you’re on another level.!
May not notice until the noise is gone. |
So happy I decided to buy this Prince box set!!! |
