@drrsutliff Congrats on the Purpleheart! I have the Kiseki Blue NS and have been really happy with it. It outshines all my other carts and is a nice pairing with my new (to me) VPI Classic 3.
@geof3. I agree. The live stuff can be muddy of course. There are some exceptions though, like Rio and this new PW issue. Some (especially some of the early live releases) are incredibly low on SQ but the energy and musicianship talent is just so incredible that it makes sense (in a way unique among bands issuing live albums) I guess because that is their sound. I mean, did you ever like the sound mix at a Rush concert? I never did - but they were awesome nevertheless.
