From the Amazon.com Editorial Review section of this album:

"One of the most iconic and instantly recognizable voices in music history is back in a way you've never heard before. Macy Gray makes her Chesky Records debut with her new Jazz infused album, Stripped. Paired with an awe inspiring jazz ensemble that includes Ari Hoenig, Daryl Johns, Russell Malone, and Wallace Roney, Macy's voice is given the space and freedom to truly shine. Featuring new original songs, intriguing covers, and stunning new arrangements of her classic hits like "I Try," there's something for everyone on this timeless recording."

"Part of the Chesky Binaural + Series, all recorded with a single microphone, the band appears right before you with this spacious, lush and multi-dimensional recording. Now headphone users will hear the same three-dimensional sound and imaging as audiophiles have for the past 25 years with Chesky Recordings. Also these new Binaural+ Series albums capture even more spatial realism for the home audiophile market, bringing you one step closer to the actual event. You will hear some of the most natural and pure cool music ever recorded."

Hey T Cobe,
As I said, went a bit low-end to see if I'd like vinyl. Certainly am enjoying spinning the discs so far!
What components did you go with? Sounds like a good match for the Triton speakers...

Pbgalvin,

The turntable is the Pioneer PLX-1000, the cartridge is the Ortofon 2M Bronze, and my preamp with phono input is the Emotiva XSP-1. I've been very happy with the combination! I was a little apprehensive about spending to much money up front without knowing if I would enjoy vinyl, but I tried to stay on a budget and get the most bang for my buck. I think I accomplished what I set out to do and envision growing my record collection.

Cheers,

T Cobe

I'd say the lower the note, the less interesting. But strings and vocals sound outstanding through the T1s.
Just got in my new copy of CSNs, first album, CSN. Outstanding harmonies!

Pbgalvin,

Which phono pre-amp and cartridge did you pair with the music hall?

Hey T,
Thanks for the details, I'll have a look. What percentage of listening time do you spend on vinyl? How big is your library?

The Music Hall came with a cartridge. Using the www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0079OA0UU/ref...ilpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 preamp...
