Installed two HFC MC-0.5 wall plugs into my system yesterday. Everything I posted yesterday was heard with their benefit. Really liking what I'm hearing so far!

Prince "Diamonds & Pearls" / EU/(lp)

@slaw 

Simply amazing what level some of these tweaks can take our systems to.

Just back from our used vinyl shop and a little poorer!

The Wake......IQ

poorer only in one way......much richer in another............


Donald Fagen  "Sunken Condos"  clear vinyl

@slaw 
Ha, yes, well said.

Caravan to Midnight....Robin Trower.

@slaw 

Where in the UK are you?
I grew up in Nottingham but moved to the USA in 2000.
And now living the dream....so they tell me.....

@uberwaltz,

I’m in the US.....I kind of thought you were in the UK.

(just ordered 4 more of the HFC  MC 0.5 wall plugs.)

Cheers!

@slaw 

Too funny!
Sorry! 
Well at least you figured I was FROM the UK......lol.

My day just got even better....

Glen Hansard "Between Two Shores" (lp)

..I do admit to being biased towards this great artist...

...been a while for this one, out of the mono box..(lp)

The Beatles "For Sale".....some damn quiet vinyl!

My Corepowertech equicore1800 is being shipped Monday which should take everything to an even higher level.
One of the first power regeneration plants that is actually capable of handling power amps.
Everything will get plugged in, read some of the reviews, I will chime in once I have got it and tested.

Can you play mono vinyl with a regular stereo cart?
Or do you swap carts/arms to play?

@uberwaltz

I am dreaming of an Equicore. Let us know how it works out, please!

My K&K Audio Trio phono-preamplifier was custom made for me by Kevin Carter with custom resistors for all of the cartridges I currently own. I can switch from mono/stereo, polarity, etc.. really nice options. In addition, I do have a Ortofon Cadenza Mono cart when needed. The Ortofon is strapped internally.

To answer your question directly, yes. It all depends on how accurate of reproduction you want to go for.

@slaw 

Quite a number have been waiting patiently for the equicore.....lol.
Just spoke to Mark and its being burned in and prepping for ship.
I am very hopeful it will match the hype.

Ok, so you can play mono on stereo cart and preamp but will just not be as accurate as a dedicated mono setup. That is good to know though.
Thank you

More treasure bought today

Twin barrels burning ...... Wishbone Ash

I mentioned The Wallflowers "Breach" recently..

just relistened. Wow! Superior in every way to "Bring Down The Horse", IMO.

I've had several new lps sitting around...I'm putting on the AP/45rpm Lynrd Skynyrd  "Second Helping"  for an initial listen.

@slaw 

Love The Wallflowers, not quite so keen on their newer album, Glad its Over though.
Sort of an uptempo Counting Crows.

Had never heard of Glen Hansard but just had a listen via Tidal and I like what I hear. Thank you

All of Glen’s stuff is excellent!!

He is also associated with The Swell Season, & The Frames. You’ve gotta get a hold of their (The Frames) lp, "Fitzcarraldo", maybe only on the now OOP/ Music On Vinyl? Mind-blowing stuff! Highly Recommended!!

If you like what you hear, read up on his journey... you’ll come to love him even more.

Finishing John Fogerty  "Eye of the Zombie", wow...what a talent, what a voice!

Wishbone Ash
One of My Favs!😎

@arcam88.

One thing I have found with all my Wishbone Ash vinyl is that they are really well engineered and mastered. Excellent instrument separation and feeling of air and space.
I remember seeing them in England and it was pretty amusing. There was no build up or announcement, they just sort of shuffled on stage, played a phenomenal set and then shuffled off again.
Too funny.

American dream .... Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young

Another purchase today, $4 and vinyl looks and sounds like it has never been played before...score!

JUST TESTING!!!😎🎶

Go Go Penguin.

+1 Wishbone Ash!

Wishbone ash, also a favorite of mine. Just Testing- 1st "albumn" I ever purchased. I bought a used copy in Gulfport Mississippi on vacation many years ago. Cost me $2.00. What was cool about it? I already knew it was a great album because arcam88 played it for me many times while I was at his home. And they rock and they were one of the best early bands to have great dual guitars.
"Living Proof"

Also I’m going through this new Satriani- again, What Happens Next. It’s excellent. It gets better and better the deeper you get into it. The title track is very engaging. "Cherry Blossoms" and "Smooth Soul", very nice...But check out Glenn Hughes on track 7- "Headrush". Along side of Joe, he lays down some mean bass licks around 50 seconds into the song, again around 2:20 and then at 3:00.

N

Well, I wanted to check if I'm the only one here listening to Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Right now spinning and enjoying every song of "Liverpool" Just paid $1 at thrift store for mint one.

Byrds

Which one? I was really taken with "2".

The Rush ended up being too much for me...

Up now... Toad the Wet Sprocket "Dulcinea" EU/lp/original pressing? Always loved this one.

Leonard cohen ,any one else a fan

Thanks, Nutty. This album is a lot more melodic than what I usually associate with JS. Great sound too. Bass is subterranean.

This thing is LOUD!
