Godspeed You! Black Emperor / Yanqui U.X.O. 
This album is simply wonderful.  
Simon Joyner / Songs for the new year
This guys song writing & musical style reminds me of Leonard Cohen. It is very good  
Noromance,
Have you seen them live? I haven't, but have to believe they would be spectacular. 

Bardo Pond / +Tom Carter 





Bardo Pond / Peri

Grateful Dead / Reckoning

Phish / Story of the ghost

REM / Document

Bob Dylan / Bootleg
I've been very impressed with most all of Bob's albums since Time out of mind, the exceptions being his latest and the Christmas album. Modern times is awesome. 
David Bowie / The man who sold the world, Space oddity, Hunky dory, Aladin sane. Its a shame he's gone. 
Spiritualized / Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

Spirit, Thanks for reminding me of this awesome album! 

Hey Puffball (Dan),

I do but unfortunately only via CD. Great stuff though!

Tunehead,

Welcome! So I checked out the specs of your preamp & your cartridge. The MC setting on your pre gives you 50db gain & 100 ohms load. Your cartridge output is .35mv with a 100 ohm load recommendation. That stated, your cartridge output is fairly low (not extreme) as is the preamps 50db gain. This is why it sounds "softer" compared to your prior ADC MM. So yes, a separate phono preamp (say one with at least 60db gain) will correct the "softness" you hear & probably improve the cartridges performance overall. An SUT will do that as well but if you go through the MM section of your preamp you’ll be stuck with 47K ohm load. That could make the cartridge kind of bright. Either way, you’ll be looking at spending more money so unless you’re hearing "noise or distortion" with your current set up, I wouldn’t worry about it until you are ready to upgrade.

Just my 2 cents

Puffball, That must have been a couple of great concerts!!!

Black Midi / Schlagenheim 

"Between the TT and new headphone rig I blown my Xmas bonus already 5 months in advance"

You're just an overachiever Uber! (Literally LOL) 

Congrats BTW, That looks like a great table
Castanets / Cathedral
Beautiful (YMMV) mid-tempo indie rock that is well recorded 
LOL, every time I see that album I automatically think of it.

Swans / Leaving meaning 
One of the mellower albums from this band.

Brian,

All the best to you and your mother. 

Puffball,

Very cool

 

Uncle Tupelo / No depression
