@setandsetting all beautiful! Do you have the Rega phono stage bc you’re using a MC cart? I’ve thought about doing that, always wondered how they sound vs MM.
I'm using the internal phono stage on the Luxman integrated and it is an MC cart: Denon 103R. The Rega box you're seeing is the speed controller or whatever it's called.
This is my first ever MC cart. It sounds good but honestly if you asked me the difference between this and the Ortofon 2M Black I had before I don't know that I could really tell you.

@popvulture is that Lee Renaldo of Sonic Youth fame!?
In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

Ahh right on — I’ve thought about getting g a P6 for that speed change box (and just for the kick of matching with my amp). Basically the reason I have the 1200 is I hate changing the belt on my MMF to play 45rpm.
Also I sorta feel the same way about cartridge differences — I have Ortofon blues on both of mine and they’ve never left me wanting more, but always been nonetheless curious about MC.

@Mizmazzle yes! Killer record, definitely a bit Dead-y (Lee’s professed his fandom many times over). Great slightly stony 70s-ish rock.
-
@popvulture hell yeah. Gonna check this one out! Interesting side note about his Dead Head fandom. I also know that Stephen Malkmus is a big Phish fan. Guess being an angsty punk/ indie guy fades some as we get older haha. Great music is great music.

I mean, when those guys were young they loved classic rock — I think a lot of what punk was came from people just trying to play what they liked and it came out as something new. Ian MacKaye’s said that he loved Grand Funk and Ted Nugent. Funny shit.
-
I likely won't make it out today but hopefully some of you guys will get a chance to score something

I slept late instead of going out for RSD. I mostly don't care about these things and they're always available after the fact. I do want that Husker Du live thing though.

Oh yeah, the belt changing thing is for the birds. When I had a Music Hall and had to change the belt I basically never played anything at 45RPM because it was a hassle. That MMF-5 was my first "real" turntable and it died a tragic death during a move.

Stand inline under the hot sun for abt an hour to get these

And later being offer this by a vinyl dealer .

Solid pick-ups per usual @steelydan . The ThreeBlindMice label is almost an automatic buy when I do see it
Can't go wrong with some Soul on a Sunday -

@Mizmazzle forreal! That whole band is looking like a supergroup tbh. Aaron was the first to venture solo and now Steve (their pianist) and Durand just dropped their own projects this year.
Have you peeped his EP with Dan Aurbach? His cover of The Makings of You is chefs kiss

@steelydan tell me about it.. jazz vinyl prices in general are getting impossible to keep up. I remember seeing Strata-East/BlackJazz LP's in the bargain bins and now they're housed in the Collectable section.
