With 2013 upon us, it's time to start a fresh thread.  I've gone back to an earlier thread title because often the "why" is the most interesting part of the post.

 Original vinyl. -  It's a very long time since this had a spin. Sounds like a good summer 'chill out' album. Nice.

Very interested to know what you think of this version.

Matt,

This is the first and only copy I have heard.

On top of that I am currently running in a replacement XX2 cartridge so it is hard to give an opinion.

Not sounding too bad presently though!

Rgds,

Andy.

Floid,

The SR80i's are great, fantastic soundstage,  if you live alone. Sound leakage is so bad that the cat moved next door.  They are  great cans though.

I know what you mean about leakage. Maybe that's why my cat buggers off all night
