Whats on your turntable tonight?

Sigur Ros - ()

Los Lobos - Disconnected in New York City

@dayglow

That's what I remember, too.  But it sure sounded poor today.  It was the first album I played, and there is a warm-up time for the tubes to sound better.  But this was worse than that.  Maybe something on the stylus?  I always clean the stylus after every 2 or 3 albums sides.  I'll run it through the Degritter again, be sure to have a clean stylus, and try once more.  Please let me know your opinion after playing your copy.  It's a great album and I'm hoping for the best. I appreciate it very much.  Thanks.

@bkeske @noromance   I noted your exchange about 12AU7 and 5814 dual triodes a few pages back.  Just curious Brian, what brand 5814 did you use?
