Whats on your turntable tonight?


For me its the first or very early LP's of:
Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South"
Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue
Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer"
and,
Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
slipknot1
A daily learning curve. Between LP’s of the Hindemith set, I slid my fingers to the bottom edge of the SOTA, and realized the sub-assembly was sitting just slightly below the exterior plinth in the arm side, flush on the opposite side. Why all of a sudden?

Then it hit me. The Soundsmith Zephyr is twice the weight of the old Grado by about 5-6 grams, which was mounted when I balanced the table originally. Sure doesn’t seem like a lot does it?, but to the SOTA, it is. Removed the arm/armboard, took out some shot in the reservoir until the arm/Soundsmith ‘leveled’ the sub-assembly again, and good to go. Re-checked everything, re-weighed the cart, etc. Funny thing is, I just checked the platter this morning for level, and it was, at/within the platter.

It ain’t Kansas anymore Dorothy 😁
I've been gone all week so it seems like a treat to be home with my system. Picked up a few records while I was gone. Starting out with Helix - No Rest For The Wicked
Szell conducts Haydn. Box set - Six London Symphonies. The Cleveland Orchestra. Columbia Masterworks 1973
Greg.

I love that Helix album.
I picked it up maybe 4 weeks ago on vinyl.
Nice blast from the past.
No vinyl for me next week either, sunny Paris, Illinois.
And no it’s nothing remotely like Paris, France....lol

Found this in Goodwill about 4 days ago, looks and sounds like hardly ever played.

The River .... Bruce Springsteen.

On the 401.
