Which is better: Spendor BC1, SP1/2, or SP2/3.
The SP1/2 and the SP1/2R2 are different animals. R2 is brighter.

Julie London – Love Letters (Liberty 1962) They do not make recordings like this anymore. Most modern recordings sound grey, veiled and muddy compared to the clarity and resolution of this. Silent vinyl too.

Let’s share funny-stupid things we’ve done
Played a side of an album with a cartridge I had just knocked the diamond from. The jagged whatever that was left on the cantilever acted as a stylus. I thought it sounded a bit iffy and put it down to a poor pressing. Expensive gaff.

Allan Taylor – Sometimes (United Artists 1971) System sounds fast, incisive, clean and blacker tonight.

MC (low-output) / 100 Ohm load. You won't break anything with the wrong settings but keep the volume down when coming from mute just in case. This may assist. https://www.stereophile.com/content/luxman-eq-500-phono-preamplifier  
Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding
Disco, fast punk and Latin not happening. Dislike religious male country rock like Terry Allen. I used like Alan Parsons Project when I was 18 but it's a bit crap and silly to me now.

Joyce Collins Quartet Featuring Jack Sheldon, Chuck Domanico And Jim Plank – Moment To Moment (Discovery 1981) Worth checking out. Excellent music and recording.
