Last Lineage - June 26

#11 · June 12, 2026, 10:00 pm

Great stuff in the new June 11 set. I immediately went to the Joy Division album... sounds fantastic, but can't decide if I prefer it to the UK pressing. Was happy to see some Guided by Voices in this one... any other fans out there? Kind of an underrated band with so many different sounds. I thought the Polydor Years Rainbow albums sound really good. Any thoughts on the Metallica EP with the stylus adjustment vs. the previous rip. They sound different to me, but I think the old one is with the Whest setup. The Last Lineage albums are sounding consistently great so far.

Great Week Two! Here we got upgrades on some great albums, and a few new ones.
Look forward to give almost all of them a spin.

Do we know the exact lineage that's being used by the legend himself?

Straight answer no although I think when he has finished tinkering he will likely update us..I know one thing for sure he has decided not to use the Whest ..

He did tell us this over at the private site..

"Last change hopefully..1 Andy Kim DL-103 with boron cantilever and microline stylus loaded at 326ohms via a Bellari MT502 SUT @1:12 ratio"..

"the SUT/Head Amp provides a more lush with depth sound and the bass gets tightened. It is easy to hear. Listen to the latest Cars S/T"..

"I have used a SUT before but I dont think I had the rght ratios"

Is the private site something you need an invite for? I keep seeing people mention it and I don't have the info on it.

I am sure if you speak/message PB he can sort you for an invite..He also has a Discord channel where the above conversation came from..

Loving the Dire Straits - Walk of Life. One of my favorites right there! Thank you for all these wonderful rips!

So you say this is for sure?

I will not go into a discussion when it comes to equipment PB uses, but I find it very mysterious that he tells this one place, and here he don't want to say anything. Last thing he said about this issue was he's reply on my question in "Thank You - May 2026"

"So you say this is for sure"?..

Well as sure as I can be when I am quoting someone else's statements ..

He is actually looking to get a refund on the Whest so that looks kind of final for its place in any linage..The reason he mentioned it at the Discord channel is because there is discussions/debate about the linage going on amongst users there and he must think it is useful to let us know his intentions ..

Not mentioning it here must just be because a debate is not being held here that he feels like intervening in..Any other questions I would direct to Pat himself..

@johnlaidlaw, I have sent you a friend request on Discord. I'm very new there, so don't know how it works. Hope you can accept my request, and that we can chat a little.
