Whats on your turntable tonight?

I moved a couple of turntables around yesterday, putting my Project RPM 9 in my main system and mounting a re-tipped Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood on it.  I've had the Virtuoso sitting in the closet for probably a year or so because I've been afraid to use it. 

I've broken the cantilever off not once, but twice.  It's the most expensive cartridge I own now, LOL. 

The RPM 9/Virtuoso combination bettered my Clearaudio Emotion / Hana SL setup, which surprised me (pleasantly) as that sounded very nice.  The Virtuoso has more shimmer and sparkle and "air" on the top end, great separation and soundstage, and is very detailed. 

I played my brand new 180 gram copy of Blood on the Tracks and my MOFI copy of side two of Fleetwood Mac S/T. It was pretty close to audio nirvana.

The acoustic guitars on Blood on the Tracks sounded really nice and World Turning on Fleetwood Mac was really dynamic.  I heard some background vocals from Stevie on Say you Love Me that I never noticed before.

Alejandro Escovedo "Big Station" !!!!

Listening to this lp reminds me of seeing him/hearing him last weekend. Awesome!

@big_greg  did you know that Mofi has Blood on the Tracks queued up as one of the upcoming One Step releases? Should sound pretty phenomenal (which it should for $125) so if you are big on that disc it should be worth it 

This morning  - 
Led Zep- Physical Graffiti  -  OP  

The Beatles - White Album (mono box)

Blondie - Parallel Lines

INXS - Kick (MOFI)

BB King - Live in Cook County Jail

The Rolling Stones - Let it Bleed

I am at the stage now where I never plan my vinyl, just close my eyes and pull one out and spin her up.

Now I do have four tables so that causes me more grief on choice and combos than the vinyl.

Took the ZYX off my Nottingham last night and mounted a Scheu Analog MC SL in its place. A much better match for the Nottingham imho .  The ZYX was really too light at just 4.2gm. The Scheu comes in at 8.8gm, which has my counterweight much further the end now. Much more body and dynamics.

This morning I mounted the ZYX on my Denon with the Black Widow arm which is ultralight and thought they would be a good match.

Still tweaking and listening to see if I prefer to the vintage mm carts have been using like Sonus and ADC.

Spinning now;

Songs from the Big Chair ... Tears for Fears.
