I know I'm behind on this one. It's just for this reason that I make this post. I purchased a well played copy of "Thriller" over ten years ago. I've cleaned it and until today, played it maybe 3 times. So, what changed?...
My system. I have thousands of $ in vibration control, thousands of $ in equipment... and one meager little Acutex 420 STR that I've just remounted after having Axel re-tip it over one year ago.
This lp sounds absolutely fantastic! Maybe the best sound I've heard through my system ever... yes, ever!
What I find fascinating is just that.... on a good system, a low cost cartridge that gels in one's system, can be magic!
"After I posted the Billy Joel lp, I was re-listening and find it to be not as enjoyable as I once remembered....." Isn't it funny how often that happens with something we haven't heard for a while? I think my tastes change, and may change back.
Two questions: first, what is the best sounding vinyl version of Thriller ever released, and second, what is the best sounding vinyl of Thriller that is currently available new?
