Whats on your turntable tonight?

Here’s How Records Give You More Of What You Want:

• The Best For Less. Records give you top quality for less money than any other recorded form.

• They Allow Selectivity Of Songs And Tracks.  With records it’s easy to pick out the songs you want to play, or to play again in a particular song or side.  All you have to do is lift the tone arm and place it where you want it.  You can’t do this as easily with anything but a phonograph record.

• They’re The Top Quality In Sound.  Long-playing phonograph records look the same now as when they were introduced in 1948, but there’s a world of difference.  Countless refinements and developments have been made to perfect the long-playing record’s technical excellence and insure the best in sound reproduction and quality available in recorded form.

• They’ll Give You Hours Of Continuous And Uninterrupted Listening Pleasure.  Just stack them up on your automatic changer and relax.

• They’re Attractive, Informative And Easy To Store.  Record albums are never out of place.  Because of the aesthetic appeal of the jacket design, they’re beautifully at home in any living room or library.  They’ve also got important information on the backs-about the artists, about the performances or about the program.  And because they’re flat and not bulky, you can store hundreds in a minimum of space and still see every title.

                

^ Well, that's pretty sweet. 1959?

That's from a record sleeve. 

Getting ready to listen to the Puritan Audio PSM 156. Gonna try it on my front end first. Replacing the Shunyata Hydra 8 & 6. Left it plugged in with a fan for the last 20 hours.

My front end and "back end" are on two separate dedicated lines. I measured the "back end" out of the Shunyata 4 that is daisy-chained to a V-Ray with my Alpha Labs EMI meter and the reading hovers around 350 mv. Just measured the Puritan on the front end line at 115mv. A substantial decrease that should translate into clearer sound.

.........failed to mention that the Puritan replaced an Akiko Audio triple AC enhancer as well.

Warming up with Damien Rice "O", the last lp I listened to on Sunday. The cartridge always takes around 30 minutes to start sounding good. Right off the bat, I hear many improvements though. Acoustic guitar..... the plucked strings have increased resonance and clarity. Bass is more impactful and deeper. On one song there’s crowd noise in the background, like a gathering in another room.....it is more easily heard. Lisa Hannigan’s vocals are more easily heard and more meaningful.

Using the 2m/15 gauge Puritan PC that came with the 156.
