Whats on your turntable tonight?

@uberwaltz,

You're lucky... my highly modded McCormack needs around 6 hours of warm up to begin serious listening. Pat @ SMC Audio says the Plitron transformer needs 24 hours before it is at optimum operating temp at it's core.

Let's see, oh, the music....

Regarding the latest Roger Waters lp. It seems to borrow quite a bit on The Wall. Ultimate dynamics aren’t there because of compression. Still, it’s nice to hear him, IMO. Then comes side 3, it becomes something a little new and different. More plays are in order. A final determination will have to be forthcoming.

Weather Report - "Heavy Weather"

Picked up a really clean used copy at my LRS today. It's great to hear "Birdland" on vinyl, the way it was meant to be heard. Fantastic!

@reubent,

A few weeks ago, I remembered you posting Dire Straits "Brothers In Arms". You never posted your impressions? This stood out to me because you normally don't buy the  (audiophile lps). I am interested in your impressions as I own several copies.

Sides 3&4 of the Roger Waters lp is enjoyable in that there's a somewhat different song structure than we're use to, still, you know it's a RW record.
