What's Spinning

View attachment 234078

Switched out a lower quality interconnect with a new Cardas cable between TT and phono preamp. Might as well play something I know well. :-). Definitely some subtle improvements. The latest Tracy C pressing is holding up well.
Break-in time (it’s real) takes forever between tt and phono pre with the microscopic signal levels there but, you already know that. It will just get better with time, though. Enjoy!
 
Black Sabbath – Paranoid
Rhino Records/Warner Records – RHF1 3104, 1970/2025

I was a bit late for the numbered version, but I'm fine with the un-numbered.

Someday I'll compare with the versions I have, but just spinning it now I think it beats what I have....which follow -
1970 German Vertigo - not the best condition, I got it cheap for the Vertigo label mostly, but I don't really mind that it has some noise.
1977 US reissue - Jacksonville pressing - I don't remember how this sounds
2006 Rhino - KPG @ ATM - pretty much my listening copy since I got it in 2006
2015 Rhino/VMP - KPG @ ATM repress - didn't really need it, but the FOMO got me
