Whats on your turntable tonight?

Nrchy, your LP selections were indeed unique!

Funny you should mention that! Played old, scratchy versions of Dumbo and Aristocats for my daughter the other night. Finished things off with "Ella and Louis"; her choice!

Bach - "Suites For Unaccompanied Cello Complete" Janos Starker (Mercury SR3-9016) This reissue has got to be one of the finest available. If you don't have it, get it. It is truly remarkable.

Ah..., the Starker/Bach reissue is indeed remarkable. Glad you've had a chance to listen to it, Joe!

These Speakers Corner Mercury classical reissues are incredibly good; they are doing a great job. I've just seen a preview of what's coming up in the next year (posted on the Phonogram list), and it's luscious. I know where my spending budget will be going. ;^)

I am very pleased with the results I am getting from this temporary Denon cart! it is quite musical. It allows me to hear just how good the new turntable is. After only a few LP's, I can say that it is blacker, quieter and has really dropped the noise floor over the Scout. The music leaps out at you from the silence. It's so quiet that I don't realize how high the gain is as the lead-in grooves are so silent - then, boom... Who would have thought an old medium output DL300 still had so much life left? I shudder to think what a new upper end cartridge is going to do.
