Fantastic. I believe Peter feels the Voice may be the best cart he makes for the cost.

Very nice, I'm sure you will like it.

James, enjoy that new phono cartridge.  I am very interested in Soundsmith and will likely be getting one fairly soon.  Bravo to you, enjoy it immensely.

And yes, the Stevie Ray Vaughan albums from AP/QRP at 45rpm are just awesome.  I should get another one of those.  Very good music here tonight.

I have to que up some good stuff tomorrow.  Have a Clippers game tomorrow night.

Thanks Joel

Amber Rubarth

Sessions From The 17th Ward

Joel, as you no doubt remember I have the AP SRV records all in a 33 box set that I absolutely treasure.  Never fail to amaze.  

Listening on Quad ESLs to this Chesky Recording of Amber Rubarth is pretty much a surround sound experience.  Soundstage is far out beyond the cement walls of the basement and all the way around to the sides and in back of my chair.  Fantastic.  

ya man, big fun ;-) I need to play that Amber disc soon....

Yes Sir.  And I wanna know why more records can't get recorded this well.  Can you imagine if, just for example, the CSN couch album would have been made like this? 

Always delivers

@spiritofradio Congrats on the Soundsmith James!  I have an Aida II and was really surprised at how good it is.

+1 Amber Rubarth & SRV QRPs. I've enjoyed Texas Flood for a long time. Just got my backordered In Step 45 in the record cleaning queue along w/Blakey Moanin' Blue Note Classic series. 

Some of us can't pay others to clean our records, Jim! 😜. Rube Goldberg ultrasonic all the way for me.

Thanks Steve. Thanks Greg. Something I’ve wanted to aspire to for awhile now under your influence.

John Gordon

Erotica Suite

Some terrific trombone music here.

Jayhawks - Tomorrow The Green Grass.     #janglyharmonious

Arcade Fire - Funeral

Psychedelic Furs - Midnight to Midnight

@spiritofradio everyone knows trombone music is best for cartridge break-in!

everyone knows trombone music is best for cartridge break-in!

Ha!   Ever notice how there are a dis-proportionate number of audiophiles who were/are trombone players.  @tomic601 included if I’m not mistaken.

cartridge is due here by fed ex tomorrow but with the holiday and annual post thanksgiving respite in Maui I probably won’t get it installed til mid December.   Timing not the best but I avoided a long wait by getting one that was available now.  Gives me something to look forward to.
