Rega P5 Plays Thriller
Loading...
Uploaded by MarkPMus on Oct 31, 2009
Listen to a well-kept copy of the title track from Michael Jackson's Thriller LP. It is played by the P5 with brand new Goldring 1042 cartridge. This is much less brash than the 2M Blue, and more gutsy. Bass is more solid, and goes deeper too. Thriller is very LOUD on LP. As a matter of course, when making these demoes, I reduce output by about 9dB to allow for pops and crackles. But even doing that, there are spikes which touch 0dB (0.1dB in places). So I can't get the full loudness onto levels onto YT. But you will get an idea of how rhythmic the P5/Goldring combo is.

hi my friend i want to ask you a question about the goldring and all goldring cartridges in general
are they smooth and detalied sounding?
because i'm looking for a good cartridge under 200 euros if it's possible i was towards an audio technica at120e but some reviewers say it sounds too birght the opposite that i want and i was wondering if any goldring will suit me i've heard very good things of this brand and the 6.5 mv of output is convenient to me because of the volume thanks
-
i've got to look into these Goldrings.that sounded great.
-
may I ask how you record your records?? is it directly from lineout??

The "far bigger sound" was achievable on the twelve-inch special dance mix because the grooves are cut wider.

So when you say the Goldring is like night and day with the 2M Blue, what does that mean? What jumps out at you? Did you like the 2M Blue? I'm just curious to hear your impressions, since I'm getting the itch for a new phono cart, and I've had my (excellent) 2M Blue for a full year.
I loved the sound of this recording. Even with the stupid Youtube compression routines, this sounded really great.

Nice, I love this album. Can you do a vid of Billie Jean playing. Only if you have the time.
Cheers,
Shane.

OK. I got a vinyl BAD the other day. I remember when I first got it on tape feeling a bit disappointed in the lack of low frequencies and how clangy the biscuit (cookie!) tins that passed for drums sounded. So Thriller is a better recorded album. I will see what I can do.
