Vinyl I am listening to...

[General_sound]

Hi Souravin. Spot on about the M55. A fine cart. Most of these old Shures had a very nice tone, incl the M44 series, which few liked to criticize for its 'v' curve sound. I have one brand new, which I religiously mount once a year on my trusted GA 242, listen to a couple of old Bollywood LPs (Rattan, Parasmani or Jazz : Al Miola, Miles Davis etc) and carefully pack it back!
Thanks Raj 12345. Most certainly will visit Gondia someday. It was a picturesque town as remembered over four and half decades back.
Analogadikt. Abs right. Many true monos have 1 mil styli, suitable for 50's and early 60's records. I can only recall Denon DL 102 and Miyajima Zero B MC with .7 mil. Zero A was 1 mil. I have strapped L&R of a few low cost carts for mono output. Maybe I did not like it. However my HMV mono ceramic cart, mounted on my HMV Calypso ( still have it, totally non functional), did have a likeable sound. RIP HMV: you did bring the records and players into our lives eons back.

Sunday afternoon listening to some lovely EPs.

The EP sleeves made by FM @rikhav are simply superb.

Some friends bought those and they were not happy. According to them SQwise those records are bad. Perhaps Saregama has used digital master to produce those records.

Remembering Carpenters. "Carpenters - made in America". Last album of the duo. Bass & stereo separation is outstanding.

Marvin Gaye - What's Going On

Was hearing Rolling Stones '30 Greatest Hits' This is a 1977 German pressing by 'Arcade Records'. While it includes the classic hits like "Ruby Tuesday" and others, the recording quality was not liked by me. Also on play was Louis Armstrong 'Greatest Hits'. This is a Gramophone Company of India pressing. While the sound is in simulated stereo, I discovered , much to my chagrin, that abroad it is sold as a 2 LP set, while here this was a single LP with half the songs !
On another note , Satyaki's 45 rpm EP collection looks truly superb. In the seventies, an SP and EP cost less than ₹8/- & ₹14/- respectively. A fair amount in those days!

Mr. Page with the Black Crowes.

I just got a new jimi hendrix experience vinyl. The clarity and separation is amazing but lacks the energy/rawness of old vinyls in my opinion

"Jheel ke us Paar" Today taken out my copy for listening R D Burman's rare gems. A double ring Odeon LP.

What a gem of an album from Pancham da

Amar Prem: All time classic. I purchased the EP for ₹14/- way back in early seventies. Sadly lost to the Lord of Time. All songs were classics, as also the dialogues. Thanks Satyaki, for the memories

@Satyaki Banerjee @General_sound sadly Amar Prem LP vinyl is below average regarding sound quality. This OST is a gem and I find this CD is best in terms of sound. Understand this is a vinyl thread, this CD pic is for knowledge sharing only

Classics Forever CD is with extra music part

 

[Naturelover]

So what makes the CD sound better than the LP?
