Whats on your turntable tonight?


For me its the first or very early LP's of:
Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South"
Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue
Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer"
and,
Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
slipknot1
Rush,
You're right, it's NOT a good thing. The "Soular Energy" LP after it was more like it should be. Maybe my ears were still in work mode for the Bach. Needless to say, I was not a happy camper with a 10 foot high cello resonating around the listening room.

The arm continues to change with each LP, so I think we have a way to go yet. I noticed an even leaner bass presentation today with the Mendelssohn (only about 7 hours on the SST), but the Ray Brown had the depth and snap you would expect. The VTA is nowhere near dialed in yet.
Next up, the ultimate Slipknot1 test of soundstage:
Holst's "Savitri"
For tonight, still in relaxing mood. It's cold and the holiday always make me feel lonely and slow.

I just bought a turntable recently and am listening to "The best of JIM REEVES", and also some Christmas albums.
