What's Spinning Tonight?

What is it that you are spinning tonight?

 

First out on the SONY SCD-1 this morning☝:

The Big Blue - Eric Serra, from 1988 on CD.

This is the original motion picture soundtrack from The Big Blue movie, directed by Luc Besson. Awesome sound and HIGHLY recommended, both the soundtrack and the movie.

At my place, this album is best played back in 7.4 simulated surround sound. Big airy sound, with things going everywhere around. Abyss-like deep bass. Feels like you’re in the deep swimming with dolphins. Enjoy !

China Crisis - Working With Fire and Steel

 

Cure - Mixed Up

 

 

... my mind starts to get dark as Mordor...

Speaking of dark music...

Atrium Carceri - The Untold


This one almost creates anxiety, at least to me.

 

Ha ha, yea one might think so, but as an old DJ yourself, you would love it - I’m sure.
Got to keep sober though, not to get stuck with the fingers between the arms…LOL.

Not a dj myself. I'd never have that skill.

 

Going wild in the audioroom☝:
Running over to the Ascona Neo …

Sisters Of Mercy - Floodland, originally from 1987. This however is the reissue from 2015, which is a killer album. Perfect press with very little surface noise, black background and overall very balanced soundstage. Highly recommended.

How do you decide which arm to use each time?

it's probably a well-kept secret but I think he plays both 33, 45 and... 78 rpm records

Went to school with the keyboardist, Brian. Talented guy.

That's okay...I guess. lol

Multi-arm turntable tables aren't for me but it's interesting to hear from others that do.

 

Not for me either.
An acquaintance just got his 3rd arm on his player.
I thought he should mount Lyra Atlas on all arms so we could compare the arms individually, but he thought that would be too expensive.
Stingy I think

I'm on my 2nd Lyra Kleos, just got a my current one in September of this year. The Etna is only a marginal improvement at twice the price. I've found the Atlas to provide about a 25% improvement over my Kleos but at about 65% more in cost.

A different brand, table, arm, & pickup would yield enough of a change that I could put together a new and different setup for analog.

I like Linn & AMG turntables but haven't given any thoughts to a 3rd setup as I'm very happy with the sound from my 2 setups for digital & analog. Just want to get my physical media organized now so that I can buy more records & CD's.

 

More music...

Prefab Sprout - I Trawl the Meghertz

My bad, I should have been more specific.
