Telarc LP's were all the rage back in the late '70's. The 1812 Overture was recorded with real cannons, and you had 'arrived' if your turntable could actually track those grooves (with lesser 'tables the stylus would jump out of the groove and skip). Still have mine somewhere, although the cannon shot grooves are probably worn smooth (now that I finally have a turntable that could track them).
LOL!! Still got mine. You can hold the album away at arm length and easily see the grooves, nay canyons, cut in the record vinyl where the canons fire!

Was it the Type III that introduced the dust collecting "damper"? A buddy had one with that damper thing, and while it worked decently on a perfectly clean LP, if there was any dust it built up quickly and actually caused the tracking to be much worse. And none of us had perfectly clean LP's back then. Or even somewhat clean. We *did* have Discwasher though which did a great job of cementing crud in the grooves permanently.

** Yes, a brush wasn't enough! Only the 'lowly' Stanton 681EE (loved by deejays) used a mere brush.
I could / did get the ADC XLM (very high compliance) to track Telarc 1812 - but in a Mayware Formula IV unipivot tonearm on a French ERA turntable ..... (remember all those? )

Ugh. If I said I didn't remember any of those would I have to go sit in the corner? I didn't get my audiophile diploma until the early '90's, so I'm probably just behind the curve.
Huge fan too! My wife and I took my parents to a live performance at The Triple Door in Seattle. Dinner theatre style. Good food, drinks, and great music. I think his son played also that night. Fantastic show. Just a few years before his passing…

What I need to see from Schitt is a legit tube amp that can be produced in larger numbers over that of the Folksvagon (Folkvangr). Something beyond these pre-amps wit one or two tubes...I want a legit tube amp for my den. Schiit...I'm trying to give you my money ! I'm trying to buy new gear after spending the last few months selling alot of my gear off.
