Deodato 2 Stereo LP CTI Records CTI 6029 RCA OMPC

Deodato 2 Stereo LP CTI Records CTI 6029 RCA OMPCI just cleaned this double album on my VPI 16. 5 record cleaner and then played it on my Rega Planar Three with an Ortofon X5 MC cartridge. I am listening as I write and this album sounds very good with only an occasional click and pop. An 8 out of ten. This is the version of "Also Sprach Zarathustra" that would be on the soundtrack of "Being There" if they had issued a soundtrack.

6SL7s can sub for 6SN7s in some amps but I do not recommend experimenting as they have very-different bias voltages
