Re: [ARSCLIST] Cetra pressings
So what do you think of Angels from the 70s,and 80s ?
I found them unlistenable,about the time,they switched to the mustard/brown label,and that they only continued to go downhill from there.I see a lot of people listen to the sEraphimsmwhich I consider bottom of the sonic barrel.By the time they went digital,even the UK issues sucked so badly,that even that was an improvement.

Yes, but rarely.
1. As I said, Angel LPs sounded worse in the 1950s and 1960s - when MM
was the only option.
2. Some monaural LPs want a stylus radius greater than 2 mil. They get a
Shure V15-II with 78-rpm stylus.
3. Occasionally a stereo LP, usually from a minor label, will do better
with an AT MM than with an MC; I don't argue, just comply.
