Whats on your turntable tonight?

The initial release is the coveted Direct to Disc, the Treasury series copy  is from the protection copy master tape. I suggest serious listeners get a six pack or 8 pack of Thelma, Grusin, Harry James and Mayorga/McBroom. All great recordings, musicians and super important in discerning what the extra step of tape leaves on the table…

I'm late to the party here, but wanted to add that a friend brought over a collection of ~20 vintage cartridges that we swapped onto my SP10MkII that I had at the time. The Grace F9 was the one I wanted of his. I ran a couple of interesting ones that my pal, the infamous Raul, sold me...a Goldbug Clement II mc, Satin 21B and a Signet 111E. Signet was to AT as Lexus is to Toyota. The Signet is pretty good if you find one in good shape. All are MC so make sure you've got enough gain.  

Basie Kansas City 3 (w/ L.Bellson & R.Brown) - For The Second Time

Nels Cline & Julian Lage - Room (intense guitar & great sonics)

I have the LAB 2 and ST 200 also.  I haven't listened to them back to back to compare.  Might be a fun exercise.  I thought they both sounded great when I played them.  Both are NM-.
