Holy smokes, it’s been a busy week. 8:00 here, and just finishing work. And have not spun any vinyl for three days. But…..that is finally going to change…just came in the mail today:
Klemperer Conducts Wagner - "Rienzi" - Overture / "Der Fliegende Hollander" - Overture / "Tannhauser" - Overture / "Lohengrin" - Prelude, Act 1 / "Lohengrin" - Prelude, Act 3 / "Die Meistersinger Von Nurnberg" - Overture / "Die Meistersinger Von Nurnberg" - Dance Of The Apprentices And Entry Of The Masters, Act 3 / "Tristan Und Isolde" - Prelude & Liebestod / "Gotterdammerung" - Siegfried’s Funeral March, Act 3. The Philharmonia Orchestra.
Angel 2LP box, date unknown, but believe the early 60’s per the label. Originally 1960. UK release.
From earlier when I changed the platter on the 401 to the new Precision Audio Components aluminium platter. It weighs an additional 0.6 pounds over the older PAC and 1.7 pounds more than the original, mostly centered around the spindle. Sounds faster, deeper soundstage with better decay. (More etched...jury is stalling out back with a smoke on this one)
Count Basie – Basie Jam #2 (Pablo 1977)
Doc Evans / Knocky Parker / Albert Nicholas / Earl Murphy / Gene Juckem – Reminiscing In Dixieland, Stomps And Blues Vol. 2 (Audiophile 1959)
@boxer12 I bought it for another 401 as there was a sale at CTC. Turns out it had a note in the box from Ray Clarke pointing out the update so I installed it on the primary.
Thought I’d mention this................. Last week, I installed a Noteworthy Audio power cord to my Shunyata Hydra V-Ray that powers my amp and subs. It replaced my Anaconda Helix. The positive benefit was immediate. There was no longer a warm/rounded off signature but now a more well defined presentation. The soundstage is huge! This was with zero hours on it. On the second full day, my music friend was over and later that evening he commented...."this is the best I’ve heard your system Steve". I admit, it was sounding awfully good even though I was getting very high readings on my EMI meter through the V-Ray. So now, I have the Puritan with the Noteworthy. Will report more later.
Have any of you gone to Joni's webstore? There is a big box there for pre-order that includes an early performance recorded by Jimi Hendrix on his tape machine he brought in. Very cool!!!
