"Psyco On Da' Bus" --Dr L and Tony Allen... (RIP Tony Allen)
Amazing Dynamics ,Bass and details.
I can crank it up pretty loud.
If your turntable will let you turn it up loud without any nasties .. It is Freakin Amazing ..It is a Journey and or an Adventure Track #2
"Never Satisfied" is my Favorite track
The Bass notes near the beginning of 2 out of the 3 "Time To Take A Rest Part 1 " ,
"Time To Take A Rest Part 2" and
"Time To Take A Rest Part 3 is so low and pronounced it Sounds like a "Great Sub" out of my Tekton Double Speakers playing without a SUB.
This Recording IMO is one of the best recorded Albums that I have Ever came across.
I use A McIntosh Mx151 Pre/with Lyngdorg Roomperfect Room Correction. . The MX151 has an excellent Phono Stage. Turntable is the Victor QL-A7 ..made in japan (100 Volt).
Cartridge is the JVC Z1-S (MD-1025) cartridge with a needle from Jico .
It is the SAS for the JVC Z1-*S with a Boron cantilever..
I also have the Stanton 681 EEE MKIII, the ADC MK. ADC XLM MKII Improved , and IMO the JVc Z1-S with the SAS from JICO is just as good as either of those . I should not say this , as I would not want to "Gamestop" the price of JVC-Z1-S
I am also using the standard analog cables that came with the Victor
QL-A7 but have connected a pair of Von Gaylord Chinchilla interconnects (1.5 or 2 meters in length) to the end of the analog cables on the QL-A7
extending their length. Also using a Belles 150A
Reference
V2 Stereo Amp.
Sorry to be long winded , but I felt that I Need to Let you know the setup.
It is playing a BIG ROLE in this Albums Excellent sound
Since I know own the QL--A7 , I will say that IMO, it is one of the best vintage tables out there , for the money, and it plays Very Well with my setup
The SAS ( Super Analogue Stylus )
Designed to mimic as close as possible a record cutting head/cutting lathe for highest fidelity & lifespan usually fitted to a precision boron , sapphire , ruby or zirconium ultra light & rigid cantilever
SAS -Natural single-crystal, nude-mounted octahedral diamond stylus tip , The stylus tip is of optimum height and a uniformly ultra-precision finish. The Super Analogue Stylus has a curvature with a smaller radius that was impossible with the Micro Ridge Stylus. As thin as a razor blade and machined with ultra precision, the stylus tip ensures unsurpassed fidelity. Polished finish that virtually preserves your record's grooves.World-class polishing technique is used on each stylus. This is designed to preserve the details of the record groove structure for a very long time — virtually for the life of the vinyl.
