Whats on your turntable tonight?

Just listened to "Steady On".

After hearing the 45rpm first, the 33 sounds a little slower and the volume output slightly less.

(I kept the volume the same at 10 o’clock.)

As far as SQ differences, I’d say the 45rpm is more open, whereas the 33 rpm is definitely a warmer sounding lp.

Both are very enjoyable.

This record has been my go-to for years in evaluating system changes. It offers everything minus brass/piano

@reubent,

Your evaluation of Supertramp seemed more dramatic than my experience with Shawn.

I’d recommend some speed evaluating tools. Not to be snide, these tools will be more investment that your tt.

These audible differences are much more noticeable when one moves up the upgrade path.

Side two of the 45 rpm Shawn is "Steady On" acoustic. Wow! Then "Stranded". Again, slightly more open, not a big deal.

I saw her at a local club, totally acoustic, 25 years ago.

@mammothguy54,

Don’t know what to tell you brother but DON’T pay $400 for that lp! Try ebay?

They are located on the west coast where, IMO, most great lps can be found
