Hi all,Eva Cassidy Nightbird (The entire Blues Alley performance) while waiting for any comments on the 45rpm album on another forum i pulled the trigger as i saw it at £69.99 it arrived saturday and gets its first outing today as the weekend was a full on family time as the last weekend that more than 6 can gather in England ... we made it into an early Xmas do for the 13 of us too ..just in case ..well i digress ...

back to topic ..i'm playing while i type ..but both sides of disc 1 (of the 7) sound fantastic ..Eva's voice is sooo clean with good separation particularly of Eva's voice and the drummers bass, cymbals and piano so far ...I'll update full thoughts in dc (that's due course)

Only negatives so far observed ....

1) That the center hole on the record (if thats the correct term) is very tight for my spindle....TT is Atmo Sfera High End Edition so i think its spindle is well machined.... so i have to 'support' the record and player as i push the record on and again when i remove it... but i've read others comment on this before about these issues for this release on the 33rpm version so i guess its something i'll have to live with as returning the album won't in all probability get me records that have holes that are an easy fix..

2) All the discs are somewhat warped, which i think might of caused more of a problem if my TT had a platter but as mine is a platterless design with quite a range of articulation the needle, so far i'm on disc 2 and its not causing any audible issues ...

Hi, my copy is perfect which I was given as a birthday pressie 2 years ago. If they are warped I would return them and ask for a replacement copy, bad storage is likely to have caused the issue. A couple of mine were tight on the sold left but eased off after a couple of plays. Cheers Adrian

Use a pencil in the hole. It will extend hole safely. Just put in and turn as you push. A common problem

Thanks for the thoughts ....so far the warping isn't affecting the music and that's what matters most ....and the TT is my long term keeper (bought directly from Duncan Saul formally of Intimate Audio a good man who told me of its uncanny ability) , its ability to play far more warped records has helped with some of my teen (70's) albums that have been treated ....well shall we say badly mis-treated over getting on for 50 years from time on a beach with a battery TT in late summer 78 i seem to remember ...sand and records a great mix :lol:

Thanks Grant thats a great tip ....looking for a pencil as soon as i can drag myself away from the music ..which is difficult right now i've never heard Eva sound so good ..
