Whats on your turntable tonight?

I am very pleased with the results I am getting from this temporary Denon cart! it is quite musical. It allows me to hear just how good the new turntable is. After only a few LP's, I can say that it is blacker, quieter and has really dropped the noise floor over the Scout. The music leaps out at you from the silence. It's so quiet that I don't realize how high the gain is as the lead-in grooves are so silent - then, boom... Who would have thought an old medium output DL300 still had so much life left? I shudder to think what a new upper end cartridge is going to do.

Joe, great news about the results from the VPI Scout/Scoutmaster upgrade! Glad to hear it. What Harry Weisfeld is able to accomplish is pretty amazing.

Tonight, some Reggae.

1. Soundtrack from the movie "The Harder They Come" on Mango Records, Distributed by Island Records. Featuring young Jimmy Cliff, other listed artists are "Maytals", "Melodians", and "Slickers". Snippets of the film plays in my mind's eye every time I hear this album.

2. Exodus- Bob Marley and the Wailers. Good old warhorse sounds fresh still.

Mknowles, if I were to buy two Reggae records (a genre about which I know nothing), would you recommend "Exodus" as one of the two? And what else?

Rush,
If you don't my chiming in here, I really enjoy Bob Marley and the Wailers "Rastaman Vibration" (Island PS 8383)
If you like compilation LPs, "Legend: The best of Bob Marley and the Wailers" (Island A1 90169). This one is nice as it contains some of the Wailers' most recognizable songs: "Jamming", Exodus", "Get Up, Stand Up", "No Woman, No Cry", etc.
