what are you listening to?

I did romp on it Eric. For cookie monster music I'm getting pretty attached to it...

I figured as much, given the size of the font used and the need for water cooled bass drivers.

Led Zeppelin (disc 3); No Quarter

10,000 Maniacs; Unplugged

A very worn The Steve Miller Band LP, Book of Dreams, still sounds great regardless.
The PL1000S2 works great for extending dynamics and reducing noise on these old LPs.

Listening to that Stravinsky Firebird album through the Pro-Ject NRS box after comparing a couple of raw vs NRS-processed vs Nando's Sugar Cube processed cuts from the Bangla Desh Concert album and I have to say, I'm impressed. Yes, the NRS plays nice with a signal from the Tascam converter. It may be time to hit the switches in the dbx 200 with some Deoxit and see if that helps...

I'd still like to play with a Sugar Cube in real time, but I'm hearing maybe 75% of what a Sugar Cube can do, based on the Bangla Desh album cuts. For 20 - 25% of the price of a Sugar Cube, it's as advertised. You still can't go crazy buying the 50-cent albums and thinkng they'll sound like new, but for any record graded Good to VG or above, it makes a nice difference. Since I don't go dumpster diving, this will keep me until a Sugar Cube comes along.

This technology is as advertised. Nicely done, Pro-Ject.

One other thing I like is that it clamps down on the on-off switch pop on the turntable. While the turn-on pop volume is pretty low, the turn-off pop is pretty obnoxious - and particularly well tamed. Almost worth the price of admission for that feature alone.

For 100- watt woofs....man they take some punishment......

Led Zeppelin's Celebration Day Live

I am getting older - the band was older - but it sure feels good to hear them many years later when the band reunited. And still do it as well as when they first released Kashmir:

Nando.

the turn-off pop is pretty obnoxious

My Dahlquist DQ-LP1 has a startling turn-off pop. I power down the amps with music playing to drain the power supplies before switching it off.

Someone posted this on Gab. Good test for your woofers!

OK with over 350 CDs new to me to listen to, Tom’s favorites, I’m also employing the CDC in the bedroom but usually listen to Echoes on XPN or streamed on WUOT-2, WEXT or if I can’t sleep, the Alaska public radio stations that play it even later at night.

But I pulled the Back to Mine collection about 17 discs, out and have just replaced these five after first listen
Danny Tenaglia
Carl Cox
Faithless
Talvin Singh
The Orb

These BtM discs are said to be “A personal collection for after hours grooving” and are compilations of other’s work with maybe a tune or two by the artist mentioned. The Carl Cox started with Ramsey Lewis and then Diana Ross before adding artists I’ve seen in Tom’s collection. These are interesting with lots of cross pollination as I learn more about 1990s-2010 music a bit off the pop charts.

The five artists BtM discs loaded now are:
Dave Seaman
Nick Warren
Everything But the Girl
Lamb and
Adam Freeland

Since I’m restoring a 2270 I’m able to listen to the main collection less this series during the day so should have more to report tomorrow from the main rig. Probably take me a few days to hear all 5 of these discs cause sleeping through them isn’t gonna let me rate them, my goal in all this.

With the discs rated I can quarantine the ones I don’t like and revisit the ones I do. I had to stop listening to ‘five more I’ve never heard’ during the first 900 discs Tom sent that I went through. I pulled out 5 highly rated new ones and cranked tunes for a couple days. That group included Etherwood and Infected Mushroom. Sometimes you don’t want to explote more but enjoy some new music you know you like.

Going through the Ps on the Astell & Kern - Pink Floyd/Wish You Were Here, Poco/Crazy Eyes, and Procul Harum's Greatest Hits.

Going through the Ps

Those are good choices.

Ps in my collection, PJ Olsson, PacificUV, Panacea, Pailhead, Pantha du Prince, Papa Wemba before I get to names I know, Pat Benatar, Pat Metheny and the groups you mention. Lots of P artists both known and unknown.
