Vintage vs. New, Risk vs. Reward
Vintage amplification electronics work best when tube based. Old, transistorized equipment is a higher risk in my estimation.

Nat King Cole – A Many Splendored Thing (Longines Symphonette Society 1965) Classic Sixties. Sounds so much better than every post-tube desk edited recording ever pressed.

Schiit Mani 2
1. Dynavector 20x2L may need to break in a little over the next 20 hours. 2. The Mani is decent on MM input, not so great for low output moving coil. 3. Have you set the loading correctly?

@bslon I believe it's the original 1973 PP&F release and they changed it a year later. My copy vinyl is NM and unlike the hot-linked discogs image above, has a NM cover.

@bkeske Yeah, tonight’s album has a big in-your-face sound. I’ve been messing around swapping cartridges on system 2. The Decca Gold trounced the AT750SH. Apart from simply way better bass, the most interesting standout was vocal intelligibility.

Moving Iron Adventures
@dogberry Super post. Had to laugh out loud at the Hawkwind no-show. They were one of my teen favorites with the consequent accumulation of twenty plus albums including many original gatefolds. Joe Banks book is well worth a read. Feel well, man.
