Whats on your turntable tonight?


For me its the first or very early LP's of:
Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South"
Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue
Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer"
and,
Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
slipknot1
Steve Miller - Fly Like an Eagle - MFSL
Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms - MFSL
Twenty-One Pilots - Trench (courtesy of my grand-daughter)
Modern Jazz Quartet - European Concert
Chuck Berry - St. Louis to Liverpool
Edmond Hall Sextet ‎- Rompin' In '44 (Circle 1983 mono)

I played this with 4 different cartridges. 
1. Audio Technica VM750SH
2. Decca Grey Export Garrott Bros with new line contact stylus and side screw Decapod
3. Decca Gold Garrott Bros Microscanner with new line contact stylus and Decapod.
4. Decca Super Gold with Paratrace stylus.

Holy crap! The incremental difference between these was nothing short of ridiculous. Each step was like a different record. I used the first 3 tracks on side one for the comparison. All I can say is if you are in the market for a $400 transducer like the AT, don't buy it and save for longer and get the Super Gold. It is so much better.
