Don't get sucked into the cable hype. They are high profit items pushed by dealers. A $2000 amp does not need a $500 cable.

Some great points. At the end of the day, we are in agreement. It is the recording/mixing and not the pressing or the medium. I played my 1968 White Album which is not in the best of shape. Pops, crackles, frying eggs, the lot. Yet the music burst...

Amg56 - nice car. Be careful not to overspend. An unscrupulous dealer can see you coming a mile away. You do not need to blow 6 figures on this. You need more records!

Yes, veiled. Blanket is right. I thought there was something wrong with my rig. I just played Joni Mitchell Shadow and Light and it sparkled and felt just right. What on Earth are they doing to the music? I also bought three new remastered Roy H. ...

Hot and fast. Heat the metal not the solder. Buy a sucker.

You have switched to MC at the back of the amp? Try the 47k MC mode.
