Whats on your turntable tonight?

Agreed it is not in the caliber of some of your recordings no doubt

But my copy was a still sealed copy and is pristine vinyl and to my ears it is very good sq.
It is not Aja or Crime of the Century but I find it is a very dynamic recording which for me is a good test, lots of good transients.

Ultimate reference recording maybe not but in my system it tells me whether changes I have wrought were for the better or not.

Like the new to me Manley Chinook SE phono stage I am trying out.....

P.S …. I try to avoid getting "the wind" at my age, it can end up being equally disturbing...…..

Marathon ... Santana.

Never heard this one before today, picked it up in an antique mall in North Carolina.

Not too shabby.

Slaw

Next up is going to be the 45rpm version of el Camino from your recommendation.
Hopefully that truly will be a reference recording.

@uber,

What "antique mall" did you visit? I’m in N.C.

Regarding "Rough Mix"...I own the Classic Records lp. Comparing it to a domestic version, the Classic loses, easily. I’d love to hear a UK pressing.

Slaw.

It was in Sanford, I was working in Aberdeen/ Pinehurst area.
2 weeks before I was in Wilmington.

Maybe the UK vs Classic version is part of the difference I perceive on on Rough Mix.
