Whats on your turntable tonight?

Hi clearthinker thanks for responding. Yes having a 0-5 scale is slighly compressed but only because many recordings fall in a very narrow window of sound quality(3.8-4,4) which gives 1/10 a point great significance. Unacceptable is 3.9 or < as was posted. Theoretically a record could rate a 1 but being an audiophile more then a collector my scale is biased towards audiophiles. A poor sounding damaged record would never be in my collection or many others. The lowest rated record(non damaged} so far has been 3.4 due only for sound quality. On the other end of the spectrum two recordings so far have received a 4,8 a Sheffield Labs/Harry James LAB 11 and a Mercury/Balalaika SR 90310. I do agree with you that nothing can be a 10 or 5(my scale) but I could run across a 4.9 I have played(graded) about 45% of my vinyl collection which contains around 1400 albums. In conclusion I do place more value between 4-5 on my scale because that is where a majority of modern vinyl resides, so yes its skewed but not misleading. 

Arrived today:

The Beta Band "Hot Shots II"  Anniversary edition
Amy Winehouse "At the BBC"  3 lp
Lucinda Williams 'Passionate Kisses"  1989/Rough Trade

Scratch Acid "S/T"

Ornette Coleman "Body Meta"

Red Crayola with Art & Language "Kangaroo?"

Bush Tetras "Rituals"

Saccharine Trust "Pagan Icons"

Joni Mitchell  'Blue'  (again).  Most definitely this album on the tube amp, on Saturday night, sounded much better than on my solid state amp today.  A very good comparison.

T. Rex   S/T, their first album.  In perfect condition, the SQ is good but not excellent.  The mixing is superb.  Really cool album.

The Doors Soft Parade - Stripped: what might have been but I prefer the original jazzier version.
