I listened to the first side again this morning and cranked it up - I couldn’t get anything really to break down, it sounded great with huge dynamic swings.

Heh, this record is a bit off kilter... IMG_2346.MOV

Interesting - yeah it has a lot of dynamic range. Same phono stage as well?

I know right? You should hear her version of Bach’s Air on the G String!

The reissue? Speaking of which, been trying to get this particular record sounding better. Been a combo of dial-a-vta on the Tri, cart loading (going from a 100 to 250 ohms on my 40 ohm resistance DL-S1 - the usual recommendation is 10x but I forgot to adjust it from my previous much lower Zyx ... ) but the kicker was needing to clean the record. Well, took the RCM out of the garage where it survived a few Michigan winters and Texas summers over a decade and the reservoir and associated tubing had disintegrated - discovered after of course topping it off with fluid, which meant a torrential downpour of a gentle vinegar smell on top of my record cabinet. So ordered a new reservoir assembly (awesome that vendors sell serviceable equipment with available parts) and got the Sibelius record cleaned last night and dialed in and I think we are a go. The surface noise is so much better now! The higher cart loading setting is still in judgment phase.

No, I just wear it on top of my pandemic.

They sell that outside of HEB? How dare they.

Pretty much only thing I have worn over the pandemic.

Yes, the Great C Major Symphony.

Schubert! What’s not to love?

Yeah, the Source and Drain can be swapped. Useful in optimizing layouts.

Unrelated. But is the REF02 still relevant these days? Need 5V reference and curious in which case it might be a better choice compared to say the LT1021 or something new you folks are using these days.

Bought what feels like a scam, records from Michael Hobson’s personal collection. See eBay “michael hobson archives”.

Special smoke night: Montecristo 80 Anniversario

I have a 12’ pair and 6’ pair of the Q-10. This can be terminated for biwire (so there are four wires) I have two 10’ pair of the T-14, but it can only be a single run (two wires) - but could do this as a “shotgun” biwire if someone wanted both sets (internal to a single sleeve or separate sleeves). I can’t find the Odyssey - but will keep looking for it. I need to order more sleeving though.

Hi! I have _a lot_ of speaker cable on hand - all DH Labs - Q-10 ($25/ft), T-14 ($10/ft) and Odyssey ($4/ft). I am going to be making up a couple sets of cables and would be happy to make some extra sets - I use nice sleeving I use on my cables and can work with you on termination.

Thanks! I didn’t look there but might be my best shot.

I would like to find a used Benz Ebony TR - it would be fun to run it without a SUT straight into the Pass. If anyone runs across one, lmk.

Anyone have a favorite vinyl supplier that might have this set in stock: https://www.speakerscornerrecords.com/products/details/MS1/glenn-gould-the-bach-keyboard-concertos

Incra doesn’t have an attachment for either and the ping-pong table wouldn’t work. Perhaps the Goldfinger is the logical choice, assuming no dangerous outgassing.

What if you need to cut some Hot Dogs though?

They do say it’s “the right machine for every budget”

I have used Cinch brand in the past. I like the solderable tabs as well.
