@Daddyjt Did you happen to listen to the remastered versions? Also, Eddie hated the studio when they first started. He didn't know how to overdub or track his part without the band playing with him. SO I wonder how much of the band's disinterest in doing things 'right' in the studio muddied the outcome. Wasn't till later that he mastered the art of the studio gig.

If everything goes right - the Album will be accessible on the 'Now Playing' application for that week. Previous weeks will still be accessible by going to the 'Archive' folder in the player application. So everyone will be able to listen to the album of the week live, right here on the site.

Dirty Deeds is a ballad.

For most audio signals, this isn't an issue. But a Moving Coil's output is only 0.3mV, with a peak voltage of about 4mV with music dynamics, with a vast array of capacitances and inductances and impedances already inherent in the cartridge. So any cable capacitance will add to the low pass filter that already exists, and with such small voltages, the high gain stage of the phono preamp will amplify everything coming out of the cartridge/cable filter. As I said, this could be investigated technically, but it's complicated, very complicated. I would hate for listeners to be too worried about the cables, but at the same time totally neglect them. Suffice to say, it's important to realize that the sound 'quality' is not the same as the frequency response, in that, a high capacitive cable will cause some kind of intolerable distortion or compression of the dynamic range. There are many things to consider, but I think if we understand that the tweaks we are making for loading is to reach an acceptable frequency response, as opposed to trying to affect the overall quality, we can rest easy. An example of loading: Notice that the major differences exist starting at 8kHz-10kHz, and that some fairly major changes need to occur to make that much of a difference. So cable capacitance shouldn't be too much of a worry if you're using good ones.

This could be investigated technically, but it seems people are more inclined to the assessment of their ear. Properly understood, all the loading really does is adjust the frequency response of the TT output, particularly in the high frequency range above 10kHz. Setting the load resistance too high will cause a spike in high frequencies right before the 20kHz roll off. This will create a shrill sound. Setting too low will cause a gradual roll off at about 8-10kHz, which will sound muddy or muffled. Starting at 100ohms for the Denon means going up to 470ohms will have a very small effect, if at all. Going up to 47k ohms will have a major effect, as well as going down too far like 10 ohms. The Nelion phono board has a 150ohm setting, so that should suffice very well. At the very least a great starting point. Moreover, we shouldn't forget that most pre amp's have tone controls, and if ever there was a good use for them, TT cartridges would qualify exceedingly. So if some strange (or superstitious) reason one doesn't feel comfortable with the loading scheme, the very same effect of dialing the loading can be made much easier, and perhaps more satisfying to certainty, with the tone controls.

I set the Nelion board to 470Ω by default.

Yes I believe so.

Jen and I will likely join RobertR in Cabin 2.

The Avengers. I've only seen the first one. It was okay...definitely not worth all the hype at all. I don't even watch Hollywood movies anymore. They're terrible.

All the Harry Potter movies.

The 'unsecured' block gets ya all the time... @Brian_at_HHH All you need is a security certificate for your website, then you can go https.

@Sk1Bum The images are a raw link. I see no reason why they'd be blocked unless you are blocking some IP range on your end. Try loading the images on your phone using 4G or a different wi-fi network to see if that works.

The life cycle of capacitors is a function of time and heat. The life cycle of transistors is a function of time over switching operations. The functions...they don't give a clear answer...
