Harry James, The King James Version

Due to someone who recently mentioned this LP, and what a great recording it is, I decided it was time to give it a listen. I hooked up my SET 300B, tube preamp and phono stage, Garrard 401, Dynavector arm, and Zu Denon 103R, and was just floored at what I heard. Since I've been terribly lazy lately, I haven't listened to vinyl much at all recently, so it came as a shock to hear again how good a great slab of vinyl can sound.

I don't recall my digital front end ever getting my attention like this did. Shame on me for being so lazy. I've learned my lesson, and I will treat myself to much more analog in the future.

Regards,
Dan

I have the Sheffield CD. It is kind of a cool sound. I think Sheffield is a nice label, some good music recorded for the enjoyment of the listener. I also have the Thelma Houston and the Pressure Cookers LP and an Amanda McBroom CD.
As shadorne mention Tannoy speakers which I know you have Dan. That reminded me, when I first got this music it was enjoyed on my 1977 Tannoy Chevoits. Maybe there was some synergy there.

 Growing Up In Hollywood Town is the Amanda McBroom CD I have. That Thelma Houston's I've Got The Music In Me can raise the roof. It is really dynamic and musical at the same time.

It has got some strong boogie factor going on rodman. It is a fun experience listening to that. Kind of eye(ear) opening.
