Whats on your turntable tonight?


For me its the first or very early LP's of:
Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South"
Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue
Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer"
and,
Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
slipknot1

@slaw thanks for asking, very kind.

had my follow up with the surgeon last week. He said I’m at about 60%, which is about a week ahead of schedule for most. 

Ella Fitzgerald-Ella Swings Brightly with Nelson(V6-4054) Side 1

Glenn Frey-No Fun Aloud Side 1

Spyro Gyra-Carnaval Side 2 SQ Audiophile

Slade-Keep Your Hands Off My Power Supply Side 2

Jennifer Rush-Heart Over Mind Side 2

Yes-Close To The Edge Side 1 SQ*

The Charlie Daniels Band-Windows Side 1

Neil Young/Crazy Horse-Live Rust Side 3

Carnaval is a solid Audiophile(SQ) recording not demo disc level but few are. SQ* Yes was very close to Audiophile SQ, might have been into the music more then being analytical? Only Live Rust was compromised by the recording quality.

@bslon Thx for the kind words!

Lyle Lovett - Joshua Judges Ruth - VMP 

Bill Evans - Symbiosis - 

John Coltrane - My Favorite Things - 45rpm Pallas pressing - excellent 

Rhiannon Giddens With Francesco Turrisi – There Is No Other (Nonesuch 2019)

Recommended. 

Modest Mouse - Lonesome Crowded West - giving the VMP pressing a shot as the previous reissue had poor quality noisy vinyl and mediocre SQ 

@slaw true, this copy of Joshua Judges Ruth has to be returned, disc 1 is warped like crazy and side 1 of disc 2 has a pressing flaw almost through the entire side. On a good note, the SQ is very good 

@reubent Tom, Plaid Room does a great job of marketing and they have a great website and good customer service. We have a great local record store that I support but I probably buy more new records from Plaid Room due to the convenience factor. 

After a couple of spins in the Degritter this pressing of Lonesome Crowded West is significantly better than the previous version. Happy, as this is one of my favorite albums of the last 30 years 

Bill Evans Trio Sunday At The Village Vanguard. Bummed the record was shipped today in a simple padded envelope bending all corners, but the vinyl is ok and a great pressing.

@6t5-gto @slaw 

I’m happy to report that my copy of JJR is flawless and together with its rich SQ makes it one of my favorite recent additions.  

@spiritofradio that is great to hear, I am going to ask VMP to replace this copy and hope that copy #2 comes out like yours. It is a really great record. I saw Lyle a number of times around this record going back to Pontiac. Would really love to have some excellent reissues of all of them. 

@christjon That is a bummer.   No excuse for that sort of thing.  But what a great record.  Welcome to the thread.  Glad you made your first post here.  Again, welcome.  

@6t5-gto 

Lyle Lovett - Joshua Judges Ruth - VMP

Hey guys, my speakers arrived (FINALLY!!!).  I'm setting them up today and will play a few albums later on.  I will be happy to report at that time😃

@mammothguy54 If I remember you were considering the Apollo 11 or Poseidon. Those are 125lbs, I hope you have some help! Way cool either way, enjoy!

The new 2022 version Apollo 11 V-3 is what I got.

They are run for a few hours at the factory.  I have the next 80 hours to get them going well and about 300 + hours to fully settle in the electronics.  It's a process.

I'm just about to fire up the first LP.  Drum roll...........
