Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

Consider a few facts and believe what you will...

It's a recording I've listened to countless times via numerous pressings and even on reel to reel thus I'm extremely familiar with it and with this particular pressing.

I had both cartridges on identical tonearms (Moerch blue dot precision for the DP-6) aligned identically which made it very easy to switch back and forth. Say what you will but the difference was very noticable.

So other than placebo effect; given nothing else changed what would you attribute the changes to? Unit variation?

It is indeed possible, I suppose, to have had a poor example of an Airy2 and an excellent Airy3. Yet, in going from a standard Airy2 to the Airy2 silver base I noticed changes that were much more subtle. If I 'wanted to hear' a huge improvement, why not then?

Thus, before stating that I need to listen more closely, I suggest you actually do take a listen before forming an opinion based solely on conjecture.
