You have a great ability picking out sound. I am surprised you said this Bob. This is the first time you have difficulty hearing differences in my videos.
John French already mailed me back the head assembly with the new fluxmagnetic heads. I don't know if the plane stopped at Wuhan taking so long to get here. Still haven't received.How is your tape machine doing tang , did you get the fluxmagnetics heads ?
Or were the current heads still okay
B is the old pressing.With headphones and tube headphone amp, I rather liked Royal Ballet B better. It sounded more natural through this headphone rig, whatever that means.
Always so funny! If I am ever in Bangkok, I will surely look you up to get my fill of quips. LoLJohn French already mailed me back the head assembly with the new fluxmagnetic heads. I don't know if the plane stopped at Wuhan taking so long to get here. Still haven't received.
The tonal colors got bleached out a bit in A. Plus, B has ambience that A lacks.B is the old pressing.
Hi Jeff,
You are a jazz person. Do you have a few Monty Alexander's on hand? This guy is good and his recordings are good. Listen to this system...no..listen to the music and the recording. The album is "So What?" The label is Black and Blue, a French pressing recorded in Geneva.
Edit: Talk about the system, this simple system sounds a lot better than a few million dollar systems I have heard. And it is digital .
So Mr Tang, I know you are a big time TT man and at last count had 3 world class TTs.B is the old pressing.

Have you seen or heard this one yet? Not sure if its fully debuted yet but these armas are apparently "da bomb" and the drive tech too: (GMT-1 Wilson Benesch reference TT) Surely will cost north of $200K...maybe way north.

Meet the GMT One, a record player with more parts, more engineering and more technological innovation than it’s possible to cover in a relatively concise report like this. At the core of the turntable is a brand-new drive system, the Omega drive, developed for defense applications. An axial magnetic drive system, it offers silent operation, incredible efficiency, high power and very low friction. Crucially for audio applications, it is also extremely speed stable and accurate. I’d be lying if I said I understood how it works, but in essence, a high-speed rotor roughly eight inches in diameter is used to induce drive into an outer stator that spins at 33rpm. The combination of high speed and step down creates the equivalent of an electronic flywheel effect, producing massive inertia (and hence speed stability) from a relatively low mass. An axial system running off of a single phosphor-bronze standing bearing, the drive creates force that is concentric to avoid sideways movement or resonance, while the drive rotor is magnetically floated, the whole system promising an incredibly low noise floor. The Omega drive is patented and licensed, meaning that Wilson Benesch is the only audio company getting to use it -- so you won’t find another outside of a nuclear submarine.
I have had that thought as well. Maybe even a single speaker mono
