Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

there are various ways to hear the small faces LP

thanks for the follow up. pulled out my copy of TabFSM tonight, it was in the very last place looked.

tonight on side 1 track 2 the vocals are dead center and very vivid and real. the instruments are separated by channel, and the cymbals are distorted, but not overly or unpleasantly so.

since RSD i have switched in a new tube integrated and back to my JC-3 phono-pre and the sound of this record today is quite different than i recall it from RSD. more clarity and openness than i heard before, still some bright edges, but sounds like a better recording. same table, same cart.

i surmise that with the various elements of the sound "pulled apart" more by the premium phono-pre, the distorted parts are given less prominence in the overall presentation.

bottom line: with a better phono-pre my assessment of the recoding improved. not surprising perhaps, but still a revelation. setting, expectation and mood, as always, do doubt a factor also.

and the best music on this LP is, also as always, killer.

regards
