Cool. Thx Serge.

No problem, I’ve been called worse in other threads.

It was here.

I’m just jiving you Dan.

Do you have any MM's cmalak??? Just curious as they have recently semi-announced they have expanded their 62 LP pressing schedule with another 60+ in the years ahead. Everything they have, has or is going out of press & there won't be any more -- just move onto the next batch.

Hey Bob...I do not have any MMs. I just bought 4 LPs (2 of which had surface level noise hence my thread) to go through the audition process so I could have the same set of LPs to compare across different tt setups. This is my first tt setup ever, so I am a newbie at this. I will look through the remaining MM titles that Music Direct/Elusive Disc/Acoustic Sounds still carry and also look at the new upcoming series. Any favorites that come to mind that you recommend?

That's hard to do -- but I'll try and list a few of my favorites (not in order of release -- some may be OOP -- I haven't cross referenced what is available):

Eric Dolphy - Out to Lunch
Tina Brooks - Back to the Tracks
Horace Parlan - Speakin' My Piece
Dexter Gordon - Dexter Calling
Hank Mobley - Roll Call
Hank Mobley - Soul Station
Tina Brooks - True Blue
Art Blakey - Night in Tunisia
Sonny Clark -Leapin' and Lopin'
Lee Morgan - Tom Cat
Lee Morgan - Candy

And I have probably left off another half dozen.

I forgot to add that my vinyl purchases have all been good experiences. New releases in rock can be iffy sometimes but Ive had good luck with new purchases from audiophile labels as well as domestic. I buy lots of music both cd and lp and 8 out of 10 vinyl purchases are good even the used ones and I probably purchase about 75 - 100 lps in a years time.

Thx for the feedback Dave. That's reassuring.
