I wish, I had the same approach, JD. I did many years ago, but then I began to look at and think about top lists, and I do it all too much today.  |

I'm going to put on a Grado Green3, not the greatest but it was a budget friendly upgrade from cheapo cartridges on suitcase turntables.

I'm sure you can Google a fix if you think the wiring is screwed up......It's not too difficult to fix I am sure. What cartridge are you using now?

I'm happy to give music the fast food test. The more people that like it, the more likely it is to be absolute 5h!t (apologies to Taylor Swift).  ELP have always taken the piss, many innovators do. There are a few prog bands that I could bash if I was so inclined, but what's the point. It won't ingratiate me to anyone to do so and it won't make me like the band any more. So, waste of energy. I'm not a 'get your knickers in a knot' kinda guy, more of a duck really. ELP were monumental in my introduction to prog. Not the first, but by far the most impactful. Having been involved in the music industry, I'm fully aware of any shortcomings that were present. That doesn't mean I can't appreciate the music or the effort that went into its making. Maybe I don't like a whole song, but maybe the snare has a great sound, or just the right effect on a vocal. Too many people miss the subtleties within the music and only view it at large. That's their loss, not mine.

I'm getting a new ortofon headshell tomorrow so I can get my setup back up and running. I may or may not messed up the wiring on my other headshell, but I'm blaming 70s wiring.

Glad to hear it, no pun intended  . At the price that replacement stylus costs I would not push the life of it. I think LP Gear said 300 hours? I'd replace it close to what they say and also keep those records clean.....Depending how serious you get with your vinyl eventually you'll want to get a stand alone turntable with a much higher end cartridge that will protect your records even more but get even better listening performance. I think that one you have does not have VTF (Vertical Tracking Force) adjustment, that can ruin records as well. Meaning either too heavy or too light of a downforce. Something to think about.....Enjoy your records!!!! We are here to help, the nicest forum on PA.....I promise you!!

What do you think about, JD, that some people question ELP's merits? Anyway, we're used to it with the ratings ELP use to get.

Lately this one has been hitting home more than when I first bought it in 2016....The LP is a wonderful sounding version. Pete's bass is very deep and bone jarring at times, H's vocals come across really nice....Really enjoying this one more though.

This is from the Progeny - Seven Shows From Seventy-Two box set. I'm thinking of trying to get one of these. I've heard the CD set and it has some great live sound for that tour. |

Yeah, both Gong and Yes are official records by the bands. Very beautiful packaging. Poor packaging for the PT EP... with NO INNER SLEEVE.

Sounds like you did well......Nothing this year was calling my name. The PT one was of interest but glad I did not, seems people are not happy with the packaging. I see it was pressed at Optimal, I'm hoping SW goes back to that as C/C was badly done by Takt. I've seen it for $100+ already.... Not into Gong and the Yes, I assume it was the live? Is that a bootleg??
