Steve, the first thought I had was that if I keep this table, I need to try a mymat. I'm not crazy about the one that came with it.
I don't think I want to dump any more money into the VPI. I have the dual pivot and the periphery ring and of course the Peet mod. |
Tom - I got mine from LRS / stereo store: Stereo Unlimited in San Diego.....it’s like 9 or ten rooms of crack....... |
i am listening to the SOTA with the Peat mod, big A glass of Talisker, lot’s of PEAT, just a sliver of ice.....
|
The Moody Blues - On the Threshold of a Dream |
@big_greg,
The MyMat will travel with you throughout all of your tt journeys.
BTW, I never once tried the mat that came with my VPI. Seemed like another chance to advertise instead of a thoughtful design. |
Leo Kottke – Leo Kottke (Chrysalis 1976)
|
I've been running the VPI with no mat. |
Good to know Steve. Thanks!

Weird sh*t, even by my standards :-) LOL |
All this talk about Carole King... Tapestry, MFSL |
And "(Then Came the) Last Days of May" one more time because it's so F-ing good.......
|
Midnight Oil - "Diesel and Dust" |
Atlanta Rhythm Section "Champagne Jam" MFSL
IMO, one of THE best sounding MFSL lps ever. |
@slaw - I don't have the MFSL, but I do like "Champagne Jam". Good record...... |
Tom,
I love to see you so reinvigorated with music. |
Just bought the MFSL "Champagne Jam" on Discogs. Hoping for the best...... |
@slaw
Tom,
I love to see you so reinvigorated with music.
Well, I can't play hockey or ride bikes with my friends because, you know - quarantine. We'll see if it sticks once I'm turned loose...... In the meantime, I'm listening to music! |
I hope your Discogs seller is worthy of the faith you put in him. |
Blues Brothers - Briefcase Full of Blues |
Boards of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest |
Prince And The Revolution – Parade (Warner Bros. 1986)
Bought Prince albums when released and this is as minty as ever. Stunning SQ. |
Various – The Sound Of Music, Original Broadway Cast (Columbia Masterworks 1959 mono)
Interesting. They seem a little further back than the last time I played this.
|
Played the ‘silver discs’ most the day yesterday ( gifts and thanks to @tomic601 ), and have been working most this morning....so....need some vinyl right now, and kept thinking about this LP...so putting it on the SOTA...
Neil Young - After The Gold Rush. Reprise reissue 1978, originally 1970.
Nice. |
Richard & Linda Thompson - Pour Down Like Silver. Island 1975
|
My MoFi Champagne Jam does not disappoint!!!!!
out in garage again today heavy cassette day again, so far: CSN, Neil, ZZ Top, Commitments.... |
In case ya think I am suffering: Beogram TX, NAD 3020a, Nakamichi CR-2A, Dynaco A-25. Wired with first generation Monster cables... ha
Brian - you are welcome on the silver disc trace... |
Jerry Garcia - S/T. WB promo 1972, originally released 1971 for the UK only.
Still one of, if not the, favorite Jerry ‘solo’ albums. |
Neil Young "Silver & Gold" 2000/German pressing |
Just ordered Rush - "All The World's a Stage" from a Discogs seller. Got the 2015 Rush Remaster. Hoping for the best. I have a couple of the remastered studio albums and think they are pretty good. Saw Rush for the first time shortly after this album was recorded, so it takes me back to that glorious time. I had it on 8-track, then CD many years later. Never owned the original LP. |
@slaw Yes, the Degritter does come with one bottle of their cleaning fluid. I used just 1ml (they suggest 1 to 2ml per tank). Results were rather startling. I found musical information I have never heard before. Trailing strings, sizzle cymbals that seem to go on forever, layers of the smallest details that came to life. And as expected, much lower noise from what must have been past contaminants, dust pushed deep down into the grooves, etc. This machine is like adding a new component to my system. I have to say "welcome to the world of ultra sonic cleaning".
The Degritter is made of excellent materials and the fit & finish is first class. Spendy, but I am quite satisfied.
And of course, I did clean and listen to Tapestry...LOL |
Neil Young "Freedom" 1989/Reprise/gold stamped promo
Forgot just how good this album is and how great it sounds! |
|
|
Television -- "Marquee Moon" |
The Clash -- "Give 'Em Enough Rope" |
|
Put on the Tim Hardin album again after a deep clean. |
The B-52s - S/T, MFSL. This sounds really good out of the gate, and it was super cheap. I think it was twenty-five bucks for a sealed copy. |
Paul McCartney "Venus & Mars" Abbey Road/Archive/2014 |
Cannonball Adderley - Cannonball with Eight Giants
Fantasy Records, 1974 |
Counting Crows - "August and Everything After"

@waltersalas Television -- "Marquee Moon" Man, used to have that album, bought it when it came out, but believe I sold it (along with many others) for some jazz albums or CD’s at the time. Never should have sold that one. |
@reubent,
You left out 45rpm.... |
Carolina Chocolate Drops "Leaving Eden" |
@noromance,
I believe you'd like all of Rhiannon's output |
Steve,
Mine is not the 45RPM version..... |
