Sound stage height??
I have Vandy 3a Sigs and when I added the Tice The Titan to my Tice Power block the height of the soundstage increased 2 feet. Blew my mind.

New music, Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Dave Alvin
King of California by Dave Alvin is a superb album. His brother Phil has two solo recordings to. Caught  Dave  twice at the Palimino in Hollywood. 
How tight do you tighten a record clamp
Finger tight. 
Best vinyl of "Who's Next"
If they still make them invest in a Signet Electronic Stylus Cleaner. Gets your stylus as clean as a hounds tooth. Hand held,turn on, put vibrating pad on needle, 10 seconds later wahla.

Nice tonearm. Yeah standard Vinyl is 120 grams and most audiophile recordings are 180 or 200 grams. The thickness of the wax has to be accounted for maximum benefit. I adjust with different thickness. I even have a few 150 gram recordings.

If able have you tried adjusting the VTA on your tonearm to accommodate the extra thickness on The MCA and Classic vinyl?

John Prine
John's debut album is in my top ten debuts of all time.  
Favorite Dylan?
Oh Mercy has always been on the top of my list but Under the Red Sky is an excellent album filled with a long list of who's who guest artists. 
XTC Remasters
Skylarking actually was discovered to be  recorded out of phase. An in phase recording has been released and it is spectacular. The one thing is the bass limes on the in phase recording is uber.
