What are songs where people or instruments sound closer to you?

@noromance 

I have a bunch of jazz CD’s from that era and most of them are mono. I’m trying to understand how I can get depth without stereo imaging?

Thanks.

@stevewharton 

I have about ten RHCP albums, but not that one. Will stream it later.

Thanks.

BTW, I’ve seen them live and they put on a great show!

I haven’t had a mono cartridge since the sixties.😊 
Do they still sell new ones?

What a well recorded album!

Thanks for the suggestion.

@sbank 

I have the CD. I’ll listen to it and stream it as well.

Thanks

@carlsbad 

Thanks, I’ll check out “Hitting The Jug” today.

@carlsbad 

LOL,  I was just trying to edit my response asking you which version. The Gene Ammons/ Rudy Van was the first one on the list and is wonderful!  I seem to like everything Van Gelder studios name is on.

Thanks.

I have a copy of that Chesky test album (cd) and that recording of Spanish Harlem is spectacular, but I’m barely hearing the depth. I’ll look for that recording of “Peppery Man today.  Maybe I need to play with my speakers again.

Thanks.

@roxy54 

Chris Isaak, other than the tune they played over and over again, I really don’t know his stuff much. Can you narrow my search down a little?🙃

Thanks

@sgordon1 

I listened to the whole album last night  and I’m beginning to think my setup needs more work.

Thanks

The only Grover I have on vinyl is in sad shape so I turned to the streamer and I’d forgotten how much I liked his stuff.

I have a TON of JT, but of course I don’t have that album, so again back to the streamer!

 I do have Sade and most all the Steely Dan/Donald Fagan albums and they are all good and well recorded.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Erin Bode’s voice has such a pure clean sound and with Mostly  simple recordings, not overly mastered and remastered make for some wonderful listening. I’m listening to  Yoursong Volume 1 and thoroughly enjoying it.

Thanks.

@mwinkc 

I just stuck my toe into streaming 6-8 weeks ago thinking I have 2500+ CD’s and and if I listen to 4-5 a day, I won’t repeat a disk for years, blah blah blah and now after just a few weeks I’m listening 80% streaming and am already thinking about changing the power supply on the N130 or getting a better streamer. It doesn’t help that I lost an 18 month old drive in my NAS. WD sent me a lower refurbished drive and I had to send it back and wait for them to send me the correct one.

@blisshifi 

There are a few different versions  of Ain’t No Use. Any one in particular I should try? I’m listening to the one from “The Divine One”.

Thanks

@secret-vinyl

I do have a very old very worn, copy of Transformer. I’m probably going to have to listen to the CD or stream instead.

Thanks.

@jrosemd 

It’s funny, like probably everyone else, I have Pet Sounds, but I must admit, I’ve never heard Sunflower. Thanks, I’ll check it out.

@robert53

What a fun recording to listen to. I have never been disappointed with a Chesky.

@larryi 

I just listened to it twice and when the ladies start their Do Do’s, on the right and then on the left and louder then back to the right and louder still, really does give the impression of them coming toward you.
