Van Morrison, Moondance, BSK-3103 Tan grooved label, WB shield at noon in color and in watermarks
Anthony Wilson, Hackensack West, Cohearent Records CR-AV-2301
The Byrds, Sweetheart of the Rodeo, Columbia CS 9670 red label two-eye
I bought Hackensack West to support Kevin Gray's fledgling label, knowing very little about Anthony Wilson aside from the praise a knowledgeable friend had for him. Quite pleasant. Quiet vinyl, though there were a few minor ticks on one side. The engineering is fine, not surprisingly.
I recently scored a Jeff Rowland Capri SII preamp. Moondance and Sweetheart of the Rodeo have never sounded better here. The rest of the reproduction chain is:
Soundsmith Paua Mk II, VPI 3D Reference unipivot tonearm with dual pivot assembly and Nordost wiring, Nordost Tyr phono cabling, Herron VTPH-2A MC input loaded at 470 ohm, Nordost Frey 2 RCA IC, Nordost Frey XLR IC from Capri to Parasound Halo A21+, Nordost Tyr speaker cabling, Magnepan 3.7i on MyeSound stands.
