Vinyl Records: Heavy Rotation

[Too Tall]

What are you spinning?

Thanks to Vsalon we now have a terrific analog setup. We have unearthed our combined collection, in perfect order, from 20+ years ago and having a ball.

This thread is for saying what vinyl records you are listening to and maybe exchange some clues.

Today's workout: 4000 meters on C2 + 3 mile tempo run and Zappa's Hot Rats (cranked) - His Jazz is pure genius

[jonathanb]

Now playing: Exposure by Robert Fripp

[chasea]

Exile on Main Street- French pressing.
Neil Young- Tonight's the Night- walked in looking for it and actually found it
D'Angelo- Black Messiah

I consider all 3 of these to be perfect albums.

I've got Lemuria - The Distance is So Big on the turntable right now. Up next is the Castevet - Pswingset split 7"

[darkmother]

Donald Byrd: Kofi

Wonderful album.

[dstbl]

Right now on the turntable; Viva by La Dusseldorf.

The Scheherazade only counts if it's a "shaded dog" label.

It is... Sort of. Mine is one of the Analogue Productions reissues, which are all outstanding and highly recommended.

What's the cartridge on that rig, boyo?

I pulled out REM a few nights ago. Started with Chronic Town and I'm halfway into Fables of the Reconstruction at this point.

It is fun to listen to music I know so, so well, and haven't heard in so, so long.

[Too Tall]

Rega Cartridge that came setup with the beast. I'm happy. The Klipsch are happy. The neighbors can't hear anything due to a massive concrete foundation between me and them.
Heck, it's a party goin' right here....

Toots what Klipsch are you running?

I used to love my KG4s before I got all fancy and lost all that awesome forward BLAT outta the horns.

Lemme know when you want some advice from me and Gee about what comes next.

This setup finally sounds yummy most all the time, but I still wonder how much better the next model up woulda been:

[Too Tall]

I will do just that DavidS. For now this setup is blowing the doors off the place.
Badonkerdonker - Kilpsch Heresy. I've had them for a loooooong time, still in great condition. Also have a lovely set of Belles not doing much of anything (Main's for hometheater) that need to be used with the turntable...which will require a reconfiguration of Casa TT anex. The Belles are huge.

You wouldn't happen to be from Buffalo, would you?

Currently listening to Titus Andronicus - Local Business. Can't get enough of this Album.

It's an Ortofon 2M Blue. I like it a lot, although it nearly exhausted me during the break-in period, before the piercing mid-high bump decided to settle down. I ended up shimming the Rega RB-300 tonearm to get to a more perfect VTA. That really helped. Everything else has been pretty damn swell from the get-go - bass, soundstage, dynamics, detail. I equivocated over spending the extra $$ on a Bronze (several people who've weighed in on this thread told me to...) and kinda wish I did.

By the way, the record in the photo is Big Star's Radio City. I watched their movie bio last night and immediately needed to hear all three of their records. I must say: Radio City is a perfect record - the tug and tension between structure and chaos is incredible, exhilarating, and deeply statisfying. If you do not have this record get it now.

Next up will be Meat Puppets II. Because Garro.
