| Whats on your turntable tonight? This is becoming a ‘Second Spin Saturday’ for me.Via @slaw whom I am very appreciative Joni Mitchell - Blue. Reprise reissue Specialty Pressing | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Interesting Joel. Good luck with your evaluation. But I’m with you, I also prefer nice slam and punch. It is interesting that the Hagerman tube pre offered more of that (but then, that was vs the Mani, so let’s get real 😁 )….but ultimately still r... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Well, Steve, it’s all very subjective…..but….when I first played this, it seemed very dark and heavy as it started. But After getting 1/2 to 3/4 the way through it the first time, it ‘opened-up’ and felt like a nice broken-in pair of comfy shoes. ... | |

His reply was "larger coils in the Voice." Since the coils are fixed and there is no... | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus As I’ve read, yes, mono records (well, all were mono then) in the 40’s to early 50’s did have a wider bottom groove, but by the mid-50’s the bottom of the groove was cut 1/2 as wide, and my the 60’s even less. Probably the reason why modern mono c... | |
