Whats on your turntable tonight?

@slaw   You’re using a Soundsmith - Sussurro mk II ES Low-Output MI Phono Cartridge? Far out!

I’m thinking of trying a Music Maker.  What do you think.  What should I expect from moving iron?

Re:Luna.  Really really love the sound of that guitar. 

Rush - “Permanent Waves”

Ooh La La!

@jamesclarke,

There’s a thread in the (analog category) someone started where I kind of went through what I was hearing throughout the break-in process...….something like "SoundsSmith Star - Sussurro".

I should be easy to find. If you don’t let me know.

“ It’s a fine line, I hate it see it go “ packing up the Basis TT as it has found a new home ( like I needed 4 TT right ? )

but enjoying vinyl today..

Gregg Allman - Laid Back - Analogue Productions
Walter Trout - Survivor Blues
Dead - Acoustic at the Warfield

Just got back from a blues festival in the Mississippi delta. Bought a new LP of Junior Kimbrough "God Knows I Tried" and a used double LP of RL Burnside "Sound Machine Groove". 

Both or these guys are actually hill country blues rather than delta blues but the hill country is just northeast of the delta. Both of the recordings are so-so in quality for various reasons, primarily that they were low budget affairs as most small-time regional blues recordings are. Both of these men are dead but we saw quite a few of their sons and grandsons playing at the festival.

Also got a new 180g LP of Bukka White's early recordings from the 1940s. Mono obviously. Great album.
