Whats on your turntable tonight?

trying out the 4 step Walker Audio RC process this eve, new old wax arrived... Warming up with a reclean of EC - There’s One in Every Crowd.....

Steve, that Joan Armatrading album is awesome, especially the title track.  I have set up for later (just US cleaned it) her album, 'To The Limit'.
Joan is so talented, I bought both of those albums when they first were released.

@spiritofradio  I guess it's the production. It's somewhat fussy and dense as was noted in reviews at the time. Musically and lyrically, it's not going to change the world but it's pleasant enough.

Absolutely, go down the path of isolation and vibration control. It really pays off! I use Symposium Acoustics products both for the platform and the rollerblocks. The two products, when combined, provide a very positive outcome. There is a ton of reading on their website which provides a very good education. Symposium Acoustics (symposiumusa.com) Have fun...

Thanks Joel. Yea, I took the Vibrapod Cones I had under my pre, and put them under the Hagerman, just to check it out.

Not a tremendous difference, will have to listen more, and perhaps get something just for it. I know the Vibrapod Cones made an incredible difference under my Belles amp. So much so I did a double take.

One thing is for sure, this whole rig, with the Trumpet, is sounding really good. I’m not trying to fix something that is broke, that is for sure, just trying to eek out more performance if it is availiable.

And Mikey, I’m listening to Joni right now, and it sounds incredible, wonderful, and non-‘excessive’ 😁

Perhaps the Soundsmith Zephyr is simply a better match than any of the Ortofon’s he was using.
