Testing the new DSP phono stage with a familiar LP
Current setting is set to Tube
I am impressed with this little phono stage in these early stages
Lots of fine adjustments to tweak for both cartridge and speaker
But I’m still fiddling around with the settings
This album is known to all and I have probably listened to it many hundreds of times
Artist - Pink Floyd
Title - Dark Side Of The Moon

Hey Paul, after you get it dialed in let us know about it.
Does it brings something more to the forefront in a favorite passage? Add more realism to vocals or the lower depths? I'm on my second phono preamp and there are some distinct differences between those two that I've used.
Will do
Need a few days to play around with it and play familiar records
However first impressions on the test record was WOW - I give it a thumbs up

That's a cool ss one too Paul!
I've read about the programming that you can do with them to emulate set, pp and all of that.
A few have been listed in the sale area the last couple of years.
This one is almost new Jan 2019 from an audiophile found in Sydney
This unit will make my life easier - with saved preset profiles to suit my array of cartridges 👌🤟

Killer Collection you've got there, got Tormato via youtube on in the background now.
Japanese pressed promo. Nice!
I don’t have Tormato in the collection - But Happy with the YES titles I have
In the LP collection - at a guess it would be just under 1000 LPs mostly Prog , Rock & Jazz

Interesting covers surrounding the title that's currently up @Full Range. What is behind the cover with the excellent kracken or octopus watercolor?
And talk about one of the best ever sounding concerts or live rock lps... Exit Stage Left... complete with obi
Answer - Album to the right of Yes Going For The one - is by Gentle Giant - Octopus
And you are correct the other is Rush - Exit Stage Left
https://www.discogs.com/Rush-ExitStage-Left/release/8412328
Both Discogs links are of my actual albums

Continuing with my Yes collection

Hey guys, didn't spell it out well.
Think I should keep it?
I do hate it when a song with a particular "weight" to the presence or ambiance that it can fill me with is F'd by a popping!
"Echos" has tonnage of that weight with me, just like "And You And I" does... I sent that lp back with it's pop at the intro.
Exchange it - is my answer
Or return for refund and get another LP

Let’s continue with the good times with more Prog from YES
I believe this text was inside the booklet
Five tracks of this album are the individual ideas, personally arranged and organised, by the five members of the Band. "Cans And Brahms" is an adaptation by Rick Wakeman on which he plays electric piano taking the part of the strings, grand piano taking the part of the woodwind, organ taking the brass, electric harpsichord taking reeds, and synthesizer taking contra bassoon. "We Have Heaven" is a personal idea by Jon Anderson in which he sings all the vocal parts. "Five Per Cent For Nothing" is a sixteen bar tune by Bill Bruford, played twice by the Group, and taken directly from the percussion line. In Chris Squire's "The Fish", each riff, rhythm, and melody is produced by using the different sounds of the bass guitar. Steve Howe concludes with a solo guitar piece "Mood For A Day"
The remaining tracks on the album are Group arranged and performed.Artist - Yes
Title - Fragile
This LP is a 1971 first press Australian release SD7211

I'm happy for you too bud! Won't forget we had those exact same issues with that title pressed by fri music. It would be nice to have mine on lp again but the disc I have is pretty darn good for this Yes fan.
Discogs has that in NM condition "complete" for $54 shipped from my country. Not for me today though.
I have 6 Yes Lps and love them all
But 8 all up
2 X Close To The Edge
2 X Fragile

Wow! the holy grail of vinyl almost! Or is it a half-speed too.
I have a couple of cds that are "Made in Japan" some with the obi some not, they are noticeably better sounding than other copies!
Enjoy the trip!
No it’s not half speed
Not sure if they had half speed in 1976
But I played the LP 3 times and the title song 5 times
Now I’m happy 😃

This album is in my top 5 favourites
And the title song is in my top 3 favourites
Truely a great album
I have 2 copies
The 1972 First press Australian release SD-7244
However this spin is of the 1976 Japan pressing on Atlantic P-10116A
Artist - Yes
Title - Close To The Edge

The crossovers are positioned internally so no one will see the screw holes
So I would leave well alone
If you do want to do something about it then the best way is
Take the measurements of the old crossover base plate and copy / replicate it
Screw it down in the original holes and then screw the new crossover on the new base
