    I have a pretty good gear...

    Rega RP3 Turntable with Elys 2 cartridge.
    Cambridge Audio Topaz SR20 amplifier.
    Monitor Audio Bronze 5 speakers.

    All brought within the last year or so.

    All I'm saying really is the two versionsIi have of Nevermind sound fucking great, I'm sure theres some pressings out there that aren't so good, but these records are top notch imo...

    Good to know, and that is good gear. I'm actually shopping the Monitor Bronze for another setup, as soon as I can get rid of the kids stuff out of the room.

    Thanks, yeah I'm happy with my set-up. Highly recommend the Monitor Audio's too, at first I was a little disappointed, but there was a burn in period of a few weeks, once in though, whoah! Very happy with them, sound just got better and better..

    Steer clear of this first pressing of Maximo Park's debut, very thin sounding and a bit muffled, the newer 10th Anniversary version is the way to go...

    But, this original from Audioslave I do recommend, excellent pressing, great dynamic range and a full, warm sound...

    Just put Beck's Morning Phase on the table, forgot how awesome this record sounds - best example of a recent recording mastered to vinyl.

    Beck does an outstanding job with his vinyl pressings, all sound really good, Morning Phase included, absolutely..

    Can't recommend this one enough on vinyl, sounds absolutely amazing, very live sounding or like you're in the recording studio with them..

    Just ordered that today
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Nice choice jlj_swe, they really do go well together, I love Monitor Audio speakers... Which amp do you use in your set-up?

    I use a Technics SU-V460 that I've had for years.
    Maybe someday in the future I'll upgrade that as well, but for the moment it works really good.

    Looks like a decent amp for sure, quite retro.. 80's, 90's?

    Think I've posted it before, but the Mono Axis that's out now is unbelievable. Had a buddy that's really well versed in Hendrix and he was picking up all kinds of stuff he'd never heard prior. I don't get to show off the rig as often as I'd like but got some good feedback from my buddy.

    Here are a couple of records I would recommend grabbing, great sounding wax! Really phenomenal sounding reissue pressings of two of their earlier albums... So fucking tight.

    This is the one I have... Mono also, 200g orange vinyl. Really nice. I love the Newbury colors.
    It's the 2013 Bernie Grundman remaster.
