    I'm doing a deep dive in my old dusty vinyl that hasn't been played in decades...really.

    Original release copy.

    Dang - this cleaned up nicely - almost dead quiet and sounds really good!

    H9: If you don't trust what you are hearing, then maybe you need to be less invested in a hobby which all the pleasure comes from listening to music.

    John, it’s the same old heavy plinth Lenco idler drive I assembled here with a recent maple wrap and walnut corner accents. I got tired of the big slab of black. Finish is automotive clear coat. The arm is an Advanced Analog linear tracking MG-1 air bearing. I got that used from doctorcilantro with compressor and extra Ultra arm. It can be described as crude compared to a Rockport but does not disappoint. (Arm alone sells new for $600 compared to thousands for the Rockport). The compressor is in the basement. The air line runs through the wall and exits via a push lock fitting mounted on a media wall plate.

    Just arrived today. The most multi-genre album I ever listened to. Contains electro house, dubstep, progressive house with elements of trance, drum and bass, rap rock, experimental rock, transformers drops and ska. Right In is a great system stress test. Like heavy metal it won't see constant rotation, but every now and then...
