Whats on your turntable tonight?

War Dept observed me packing about 100,LP,into the Panzerwagon for the trek North, I mumbled something about the rigors of keeping the turntable fleet humming.......

"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.

@slaw, you have a very good memory ;-) . Yes, I recently saw that old post, and at that time felt most "Rock" albums weren't of sufficiently high recorded sound quality to justify an audiophile reissue. I still feel that way, but the qualifier "most" is the key.

Sometimes a reissue reveals recorded sound quality masked in the album's original version; Analogue Productions Beach Boys LP's are one such example. While not now sounding like a direct-to-disk LP, the AP LP's sound drastically better than the originals. I've been listening to Pet Sounds, Smiley Smile, and Sunflower since their original release (I was for many years obsessed with the unreleased Smile, and have multiple bootlegs of the recordings to prove it), which suffered from mediocre sq (terrible in the case of Smiley Smile). The AP BB LP's are well worth their price, and I'm very happy to have them.

@mammothguy54: I love Carnival Of Life! That was the first Lee Michaels album I heard, and subsequently went to see him live at The San Jose Civic Auditorium in the Summer of '68. He was the opening act for Steppenwolf, just he and drummer Frosty. Lee had a row of Vox Super Beatle amps all across the back of the stage, and his B3 sounded awesome! Unfortunately, after the first song a roadie came out with a cup of water (I assumed ;-) and set it on the organ. The cup immediately tipped over, the water pouring down into the organ's electronics, shorting them out. That was the end of Lee's set! :-(

My friend and I stayed for Steppenwolf, and for the first and last time at a live show fell asleep. Not a good live band.

@grey9hound   Great Post!   I understand your enthusiasm, I really do.  Will check out that music - it’s not familiar.  Great post.  

Speaking of The Yes Album, I have the Friday Music 45 rpm box and it sounds great! There's bass on that lp I never knew before.
