Chemical Brothers, "Born in the Echoes". Mrs. P was unusually tolerant, no doubt helped by her being in the garden.
I seem to have my Goldring 2500 set up just right for this record, it sounds superb, great detail and dynamics. I know some do not like the PF recent re-issues but I think they are actually pretty good, at least this one is.

i think we talked about this album recently Adrian - although it is my favourite PF album I have been a bit disappointed with the SQ of my recent pressing. Of course the slow ponderous bass and all-but-missing finer details might be down to me being a bit mutton jeff, I should seek out a decent quality early pressing for comparison to be sure.Quote:

Sorry about the thread drift gents, as you were :)
Happy Mondays "Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches". Surprisingly decent production.
Led Zeppelin - Celebration Day
Lazy Sunday Afternoon (should be a song...) in the garden with a can of something cold.
Thoroughly enjoyable - what an amazing job Jason does on this record too.

Might be worth a re-listen now you have the platforms in place. If your pressing is the same release as mine then I noticed it is quite thick, so maybe you are getting too much bass as the VTA may be being altered too much as a result, in other words with a 180 or 200gm record the arm is slopping to much down at the rear for your cartirdge. I think we have discussed before the Ortofon 2M Black whilst being a great cartridge it is known for being very fussy about set up. I think Robbiegong on here is a bit of an expert with them.Quote:
