Yep, the pink box. I have better Sibelius collections, but this is the only one I have on vinyl. I’m constantly looking for the Maazel collection with the Wiener Philharmonic on vinyl for a good price. But there are others as well…..

I’ll do a search Uber. Thanks, I must have missed it. |
Uber and Slaw, yep, good points from both of you. Thanks. |
My Trio has a mono switch. When I installed my mono cart, it bested that set-up easily. I bet Shitt would build you a piece at your request. Yea, that’s what I was curious about. How much better could I expect with a switch vs waiting and setting up a proper mono table/cart in the future. I would imagine a mono switch is better than nothing, but then it comes down to cost for that ‘improvement’. Really, $200 ain’t much to tide myself over for a while, but is it worth it. I’m Probably more concerned with adding another device in the chain. As far as Schiit making one? Interesting thought, but I have my doubts they would. I would probably be better off finding someone who could make one, which I understand can be done for less that $100. |

@uberwaltz
Got the tapes today. Thanks!
Also received another batch of LP’s today from Discogs, so it will be a full listening night, which I need, as I’ve been working like a dog the last couple days. |
@tomic601 Brian - you speaker is quite unique w only a quarter million sold to music lovers and audiophiles- the acoustic coupler connects principally with the back wall. I setup and tune about 30 Vandy systems a year. Would love to assist with yours. Thanks Jim. Primarily I use Richards instructions pretty closely, as best I can per the division of the room, tilt, etc. (Being an architectural designer, I’ve drawn-up my room in CAD with the various recommended division lines/points, etc.). But, I’ve done a lot of experimentation within and outside those boundaries, and a know what? Richards instructions seems to be fairly accurate for good sound. But what really made a nice difference was placing some absorption directly behind the 2CE’s (mine are about 2’-9” off the front wall) but also diffusion on the side walls behind the speakers as well, then more diffusion between the speakers covering my fireplace opening. That made a big difference as well. |

@slaw Wow! Tom Petty "Long After Dark". Listened to this lp over and over back in the day. No one mentions it now. From the box set............. Uber just sent me a cassette version of that LP. Good stuff....of course, most all of Tom’s work is. R.I.P. And speaking of ‘wow’, I had not listened to that Arlo LP in a long long time, and man, very nice indeed. Great SQ. |
@noromance 180g RE (RM?) Sounds very clean. I have the Elektra WT and TBH double UK version. I must directly compare the SQ. That double album set was reissued in the 70’s (1970 & 1976) by Elektra. I don’t believe either was remastered. |

Continuing this set this evening. Last night was a wash-out. I finally have given in to the fact that I have to get a new Mac computer for my work. Been using a 2009 Mac Pro for a very long time, and love that old box. Have Frankensteined it to keep it in business over the past few years……But, am finally being forced to upgrade, and have an iMac arriving tomorrow. I’ve been so entrenched with my set-up ‘as-is’, there is a lot of preparation work involved with this new addition. What a pain in the butt.
Got through Symphonies 1-4 a couple nights ago, so getting through 5-7 should be easy to do.

@tomic601
Brian K - We have two imac, one dates to 2013 ish….the other maybe 2 years..love em both….
Im sure I’ll like it Jim. Just as in my audio set-up, I’ve preferred separates in my computer work rig, and never liked the restraint the iMac’s seemed to be as an ‘all in one’ solution. I’ll get over it, and accept an integrated computer 😁
