Extraordinary recordings on vinyl
I too, apologize for "hijacking" this thread. It belongs to everyone. I felt that since I originated it, that I have a certain responsibility to "oversee it" to a degree. I feel that this discussion was important in that, to me, it lets one see th... 
Extraordinary recordings on vinyl
One/I, could/will, make a point that with all of the differences in varying recordings by varying artists in varying venues with varying electronics/acoustics, in the analog or digital era that, it is a good thing that (in my system) all of these ... 
Extraordinary recordings on vinyl
Sorry... regarding the ET (2.5 arm optimized for high pressure), in my almost 30 years of experience with this arm, it is "key" that you really have it set up correctly, with an excellent/dry/ air source then and only then can one be confident in ... 
Extraordinary recordings on vinyl
Qdrone: In the thread you referred to, the topic was more about different pressings of a particular lp.. You (seemed) to ask if I made any adjustments to my arm in making comparisons to the green label re-issue of "Beautiful Loser" vs. the origina... 
Heart- Little Queen Friday Music LP
Bjbcab:I assume since you are the OP here, you either wanted affirmation of your experience or recommendations. This would be the time for you, IMO, to seek out a WLP copy and purchase the Music On Vinyl copy for your own comparison and knowledge....

Bigalt: Reading (further) into your comment "and the sound it provides" makes me think that, you could provide all of us great insight on, (what I hope) are your further comments based on your (obvious) long history with analog, (specifically the ...

Bigalt: I think you, and maybe, only you, can appreciate the 3.5 platter/bearing and other mods I've done to my TT. Despite your pronouncement that you may not be able to hear nuances, I think you can at least appreciate your past history/vs/curre...

Ct0517: Bigalt's 8 tt's should not surprise you. I think it is more of a "I wish I was there" factor. ha ha. (Shhhhh... you are very, very close)

Bigalt: My hearing isn't like it once was either. The saving grace is.. even though humans' listening range doesn't go past 20Khz, an lp has the ability to go to 40khz. This can't be heard but can be experienced!!!!The once reported range of digit...

My personal experience with my and my friend's ET 2.5 is the lack of precision in manufacturing these parts. This is most likely the reason for his holding down the cost for so long.When I take my arm/housing off the post/arc block.. it is an issu...

...it seems (to me) that you're making short, general statements (confusing the main point you posted) and not responding fully to the point that you made, all the while, again, avoiding the main issue I had with your original post? Shew!!!...I'm ... 
Need a subwoofer reccomendation.....
I recommend that (now) is the time you really need to focus on your room and be confident in your listening skills. You can spend $k's of dollars on equipment, but you'll never achieve total satisfaction until you've done your due diligence regard...

... also, by comparison the MMJ is thick and confused it the bass to the DCFC lp. 
Best Rock Album of 2015
Regarding My Morning Jacket & Death Cab For Cutie.. their latest' sound very good. My top pick right now for "best rock album" is DCFC. The differences in them as I see it, for sonics are:MMJ = an overall feeling that this is an album that get...
