The AT-440MLb cartridge was having some difficulty with this slightly warped record. I recorded the entire LP only to listen on headphones and hear a high shrieking sound in the right channel intermittently throughout the first few minutes of each side. So I re-recorded it with the M97xE and there was no shrieking (thankfully).
It's a little amusing to see the differences between the names of the tracks on the label and the back cover -- I think maybe someone's handwriting was difficult to decipher.

Hi Richard - Thank you for sharing. Seems like you have a number of cartridges. How do you figure which cartridge is right for a particular record? Isn't there a generic cartridge one can use safely for all?
ReplyDeleteThanks,

Waouh.... many thanks, I have some LP of this collection (the Hariprasad Chaurasia N 12 14 17 18), they are more than excellent, but it's quite difficult to discover the others of the serie, much appreciated !
ReplyDeleteThanks Richard. By the way your scans are really fantastic, I assume you're using a large scanner? I only have my phone to work with but am now starting to do a bit of post fix-up work with creases and reflections that often occur with this method.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
