I don’t have any experience with the more recent reissues of Vol 4, but I’ve heard/owned 4 or 5 of the 70’s pressings and the best by far is the UK 1st Vertigo swirl with the George Peckham sigs.

MOR is a better sounding album all around, there again a UK with 1st matrices is your best bet, both can get a little pricey in nicer condition.

good luck!

Crypt Sermon....... They have only released a 3 song demo on Dark Descent Records give it a listen great stuff.

You still need the Bongripper-SWD?

Someone has that Marantz TT-15S1  for sale on Audio Asylum NIB for $1150,just a heads up.

I have a 640P in the box I'll send you for $135.

Weren't all these redone on 180/200 gm.vinyl a while back,now going for insane $,and unless they plan on pressing II with the original RL mastering why would one bother.

If you do your homework and with some patience you can pickup all of these original pressings in pretty nice shape probably for less that what they plan on charging for these remasters.....$40/$50,just a guess.

Dynavector-20x2L arrived on Friday and I have to say I'm very impressed so far, my RL- Zep II never sounded so good,same goes for my UK, PF-Animals.A very revealing addition to my set-up,not that it's so much better than the 20x2 high output cart it replaced but I'm hearing parts of the music that weren't there before.

Just kidding....I keep and breed Blood pythons(python brongersmai)

This fucker was roaming the backyard!

Awesome stuff deadreckoning!

Hey shaizada:

I bought it new and have had it for about 6 weeks now,I haven't had time to listen to a ton of stuff but I am for the most part, impressed with it so far.I use a Dynavector-DV-20X,on my Scout TT.

I listen to Metal mostly with some Zep.Pink Floyd,and other 90's(Soundgarden,AIC)thrown in.

As I said..it is not great with everything.

Celtic Frost-Morbid Tales sounds absolutely fantastic through the Nighthawk,but Megadeth-Peace sells...I had to turn off after a bit of trying different settings,same with Massacre-From Beyond.

These are original pressings,not reissue lp's.

Dio-Holy Diver,Ratt-Out of the Cellar,Carcass-Necroticism,Sepultura-Arise,all sound fine.

Pink Floyd-WYWH,the 1st US pressing sounds great too along with my AIC stuff and STP-Purple.

I need to get to my Zeppelin lp's...maybe this weekend.

I guess some recordings are more compatible with my set-up than others.

The Nighthawk replaced a Cambridge Audio 640P,which overall sounded pretty nice to me,but I was never blown away by it,and I listened to the CA-640P at a much higher volume than I have to with the Nighthawk.

Any Cart. recommendations?

Or finding a nice RL copy of Zep II.

Hunting down the best pressings make it even more fun $$$$$$$$

Why bying a repress, when you can get the Original one - o.k maybe is`t more expensive than the repress but "i hate this fucking re-press" things.....no original - no style...

!

I'm looking for the 1st US pressing SD 8236.Just trying to find a nicer playing copy than the scratched up one I have,i'd like to see pics if possible.

Thanks

I picked up the Black Friday copy of" Morning View" $23ppd,listened to it last night,sounds really good to me.I wonder if the copies coming out in Jan. will be a different mastering, or from the same press.

Anyone have any info. concerning this?

The hell with interpunk.......They emailed me about the Mastodon "live at the Aragon" DVD when it was released,"free autographed poster with purchase"....so cool, I ordered it,even sprung for a shipping tube to send the poster in.

"We don't have the autographed posters in stock right now, but we'll send it when they come in"

The poster was the only reason I even purcahsed the DVD,I was at the Aragon and saw the show.

Of course they sent the DVD.....never got the poster.

Taking offers on this stuff,all the HOF are original pressings.

Everything is NM,except*VG,alot of it is still in the shrink.I will send pics if need be.

Thanks for looking!

I have a sealed copy of the Blue album on colored vinyl,I'd be interested in trading.

i want this one too and i hope earache records will repress soon....

Earache repressed this in 2002,1000 green vinyl in the US...1000/ 200gm black in Euro./UK.

I'd be willing to trade my green Earache copy.

I paid $2600 for the Mc about 4 years ago,you have to look real hard to even find a scratch on it,so it's pretty nice.

I've had the VMPS super tower r's for about 16 years now they were $2000,Itone audio out of California does'nt even make them anymore.

Would there really be that big of an improvement with another,newer TT? I really like the 6300.

I have considered a Mc preamp in the past, and I'm aware the old Yamaha,is'nt the greatest,but I'm pretty pleased with sound I get from the Cambridge phono pre. since getting it.

I'm not into swapping different components in/out,chasing after a listening experience that does'nt exist..........at least in my tax bracket.I'd rather buy more lp's to listen to.

Like I said, I would'nt mind checking out a different cart since I have the extra headshell,so it's a pretty easy swap.

Overall I'm content with my low end system

Kmart- your set up makes no sense. What preamp are you using?

An 80's Yamaha CX-600U,with a Cambridge Audio 640p phono pre.I know it's a cheap cart. on the Marantz....but it still sounds pretty good.

Weather I'm playing Rush 211,or Pink Floyd Animals,turned up loud,and I mean fuckin loud, 3 "o" clock loud,not one bit of distortion,it does'nt faze the VMPS's one bit,they are one bad-ass set of speakers.

I will rarely play anything at that level,the Mac. will heat up and shut down if I do for too long,but it's nice to know that I have that much headroom.

Most of my listening is OSDM= Gorguts,Death,Bolt Thrower,so I don't play that too loud.

I have an extra headshell for the Marantz,and I would like to pick up another decent cart,for comparsion sake.

I'm aware you are an audio/stereo geek.....What would you recommend?

Oh......and the Marantz and the Mac. sit on a concrete floor,(under the carpet)
