Well I had never heard of this album before today.
It is mint in every aspect so a nice buy.

Italian X Ray's ..... Steve Miller Band.

And the SQ is excellent.
I never heard of that one from them either. Interesting... 

Nicolai Dunger / Blind blemished blues 
Been experimenting with my carts today as the Scheu is due for a rest...lol.

On my third already but I did start near the bottom of the pile.

First up was Nagaoka mp150, ok but nothing to get excited about.
Second Astatic MF 100. Better but the bass was very one dimensional, thud, thud,thud.
Third is the Dynavector Karat 23ruby.
Much better, as it should be...lol.

I would say a bit more detailed than the Scheu but still does not have the dynamic slam and warmth that the Scheu does in my rig.
But it's staying on for a while so I can tweak the setup see if I can extract any more from it.
Funny Uber, I was doing the same thing over here last night. Took out the Clearaudio Concept MC & replaced it with a Karat 23, then a Grado signature XTZ. The signature absolutely sings with the ViRa tonearm.
