Lionel Richie Eponymous Album Motown Stereo LP

Lionel Richie Eponymous Album Motown Stereo LPI just cleaned this album on my VPI 16. 5 record cleaner and then played it on my solid state rig which consists of a Rega Planar Three with an Ortofon X5 MC cartridge on an RB 300 tone arm with an Adcom GFP 555 II preamp feeding a Hafler SE240 power amplifier and PSB Alpha near field monitors. This is a very well preserved LP. It sounds excellent with only the very occasional pop and tick in the quiet musical passages. An 8. 5 or nine out of ten MOST
