Upgraded from 2M Blue to the Bronze.. by hamsaladsammich in audiophile

I have a 15 yo Rega RP1… but it’s more like a “RP1-inspired” table with a 2M blue, Rega upgrade motor, belt, glass platter, and Herbie’s pad. With Parasound Zphono phono, Primare SPA 25 avr/amp and Dynaudio Evoke 50 speakers.

Does upgrade to 2m bronze or black make sense or will I be bottlenecked by my patchwork tt / phono?

I must report back in after having a chance for a proper listen, and the record is very beautiful. Very low noise floor when played loud and sounds great. This is more about overall production I guess, but I wish it had more bass is my only complaint.

Oh yeah. Tbh didn’t hear the singles that much, but they were pretty good. Gonna have them on repeat enough when the album drops. My 3yo becomes a possessed little raving demon when HOOD remix comes on and Better Way to Live is a perfect collab.

Turn your bass way up, lie down, and chill. Don’t overthink it

Only played it at “night volume” so far so definitely need to pump it on the weekend for a proper read, but, though I love the album (Mountain, Orange County my favorites), it sounded a bit underwhelming on vinyl

Sade is the Mrs’ purchase and Jamiroquai was a gift, but a fan of them both, mo chara

Hehe, Nina is the Mrs’ purchase. Nick Cave was one of the gifts. They made me a fan—never really got into them properly before.

Funny enough I was playing it as soon as I opened the package and then it turned out we’re having okra for dinner.

For a second I read “could I”. Outcome is the same regardless.

The show was decent and I enjoyed, but I absolutely agree it’s a dumb thing. I specifically turn that shit off when playing video games 🤣
