@bkeske I’ve been doing the same upgrading with many of my records as well. Swapping OP stuff with newer “audiophile” pressings when it is reasonable to do so. Matter of fact, listening to this recently upgraded disc right now: Herbie Hancock-Hea...

Coltrane-A Love Supreme 2021 Acoustic Sounds Impulse RE. Chad gets 5 stars for this one. One of my top 3 from last year.  
Audio envy - dang!
Installed a new set of SP-11 cables last week. Mine came with navy blue jackets. Either way, I think I’m done with the cable experimenting. Been through a half dozen brands of cables, Cap’n is great to deal with and his cables and very very good f... 
What phono preamp are you using?

Supertramp-Breakfast in America 2018 Mofi While this pressing is noise free, every time I play it I’m glad I paid the $35 retail for it new. One of the few cases where the OG record is noticeably better than the Mofi (in my opinion).

I have had 2M Red, VM740ML, Grado Opus3, V15ii, and a few others I am probably forgetting on my tables. Bought a MP-200 a while back, it has about 40 hours on it now and for me it is the best cart I've auditioned in my rig. As stated already, the...

Tonight I have the pleasure of comparing the 2022 AP version of Miles’ Someday My Prince Will Come to the 1961 OG copy from my Father-in-law’s collection.  My findings are as follows: The Analogue Productions 2022 disc is obviously much quieter ...

Mark Knopfler-Local Hero 1983 OG WB This is certainly not an "audiophile" remaster, but I am really enjoying this record that I have heard many many times. I don't think its anything unforgiving as much as it is more enjoyable to listen to better...
