Get a vinyl rig! Problem solved! Everything will sound better, not just ZZ Top. Stevie Ray, Robert Cray, Albert King, all of 'em. The Rega Planar 3 with the RB 300 and a Grado or Blue Point cartridge, for example, is cheap, and killer. There are other record players out there that sound great and can be had for about $1,000. I'll bet you can find all those records pretty easily and for $5 each. You shouldn't spend another nickel on equipment until you fix this hole.
old zz top recordings
I think i tell of on my age when I say that we use to listen to the very first zz as albums and 8 track. Rio grand mud, fandango, first album are some of the best music out there if you youngsters never heard ( but dont call me an old fart I can hang with the best of ya, and I like alternative and female rr)
BUT is there any cd's of zz that are not remastered that sound like there in a coffee can? The old ones really kicked and if you ever heard the old you hate the new ones. The only recording Ive heard is off the armagedion sound track and it sounds correct.
Am I the lone ranger.
