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

Beth Hart  "Fire On The Floor"  I recently received this and the music is fantastic.  The pressing quality left a bit to be desired though.  Higher frequency information was pushed in the background and lacking in clarity, or, "sparkle".  A High level cleaning in the Degritter brought that area of the music more forward.  I will do another High level cleaning cycle and see if I can get it to an even greater SQ.  Should be a good test.
Pink Floyd  "Meddle"  Pink Floyd Records reissue.  Excellent!

I'll do a few more Degritter cleaning tests today.  Up next is my original pressing of Houses Of The Holy.  I have owned it since first released and it's been played many times, especially when new, and always on a good TT and cartridge. Played it about 10 weeks ago and SQ was good but plenty of noise.  Let's see how that noise level can be addressed.  Hoping for the best.,

I like this fellow’s music. Ambient, cinematic, and more. Always really interesting. What I especially like about this record is that to make it he got family and friends together in a studio and re-recorded certain of their favorites from his (large) catalogue on 24-track analogue tape. Then, he took the tape to Abby Road where it was mastered for direct transfer to vinyl. I suppose there were a few additional steps (but all analogue) along the way to the finished product on my turntable but I have to say this sounds deep and rich and very real here in my room.
@slaw Nice!  Will be interested to hear about your impressions of it. I have the AP/QRP box with that record in it.
