| Whats on your turntable tonight? So, the Knopfler box is all the Abbey Road remasters, right? Since I agree with @slaw about Local Hero, the box might be more of the same? @j_husker Who won the Local Hero shootout? Was it a buzzer-beater or a blow out? | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw @bkeske Agree w/Brian that trying the various loading resistance options can't hurt any more than turning a tone control would. I'm pretty sure that capacitance settings only affect MM; that's why Soundsmith doesn't have a recommendation for... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Fantastic SQ and great music by Byrne/Eno. Mastered by G.Calbi@Sterling. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw How’s the SQ on the McMurtry lp? Thanks for that info Spencer. Good, not great. Mine is quiet but mastering isn't super spacious. Songs are great. Tight band w/Charlie Sexton and Kenny Aranoff. It's a solid album, but 3 sides on vinyl... |
