What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report

Prince

The Who, Who's Next - CD 

I personally feel that the band as performers were at their individual peaks at this point in their careers. Even though they already recorded Quadrphenia which is one of my top ten favorite concept albums. The albumn art on Who's Next is also a classic!

Awesome story. A simple jumper cable can make all of the difference (sometimes). WireWorld is a fine product.

Happy Listening!

I've listened to Amused to Death for decades (red book and SACD) and on some amazing systems of friends. In the past couple months I replaced my Emerald Physics KCIIs (with upgrades) with EP 3.4s to which I replaced the crap jumper wires with WireWorld OCC. Amazing as the 3.4s are, my room is ~ 35 x ~ 20 x 12. Front wall is 90% glass; rear wall is 3 sided glass enclosure, plus open up/down stairwell. Even with my EVS dual mono1200, I wasn't achieving the bass to play A2D again. Now, I have 2 old SVS powered subs (Ultra and Plus) sitting in a corner. I decided to plug them back in a couple days ago in preparation to play A2D (SACD), which I did last night. The sound was among the best Ive ever heard it. I was hearing much more 411 than I recollect ever hearing

The Jazz Messengers: At The Cafe Bohemia, volume 2
Blue Note. Mono.
Direct transfer  to digital from original 2-track analog recording.Not remastered, never mixed.Outstanding.

Tonight it’s The John McLaughlin Trio Live at the Royal Festival Hall from ‘91(?) Incredible recording on plain old Redbook CD. 

Def Leppard- R.I.P. Steve Clark (gone 30 years today).

Last night Joan Armatrading "Joan Armatrading" 1990 issue A&M 393 228-2
Stunning album, sounding also like it was done yesterday, nothing does old RedBook like good discrete R2R dac.
.
Then after that Propaganda "A Secrete Wish" 1985 ZIT 90288-2 another stunner!!! Can’t believe how good RedBook can sound these days, we suffered with it way back.
I now believe Philips "perfect sound forever" saying, just took time for it to get played/converted correctly.

Cheers George

John Hammond-Wicked Grin

Tommy Flanagan - The Tokyo Recital (Pablo)
The Jimmy Giuffre 3 - Trav' Lin' Light (Atlantic)The Giuffre disc features a young  (28) Jim Hall on guitar. His tone and style distinct. Amazing what they did w/o bass, drums or piano. Woodwinds, brass, and guitar only.

Art Pepper tonight.
Art Pepper + Eleven (Mobile Fidelity, Sanyo Japan)
Winter Moon (Galaxy)

5.30pm relaxing with a Gin and tonic listening to 1984 Nancy Wilson Godsend, Denon 38C38-7188 CD I believe it’s Pre-emphasized, and I think my dac has de-emphasis, because it’s not bright, otherwise it would be, just sublime to listen to, a stunning recording.

Cheers George

The Breeders - "Last Splash"

Over the Rhine - "Patience"

Not night here yet (12:54)... 

John Coltrane 'Blue Train'... 😐

Big rave for who likes it.

Me... I'm either too young STILL?!? - or too old? for this classic kind of Jazz. 

I'll keep trying, as I have now - FOR YEARS. 😥

Then Angus & Julia Stone "Down the Way" a little compressed, but simple (voice guitar) so it’s not too confused.

Last night was a memory lane night
America (America) untouched "original masters version".
Wow!!! still holds up well today, very good dynamic swing, plenty of depth and sound stage, and on some tracks very wide soundstage to outside the speakers!!

Then after that, the better tracks off Carly King "Tapestry" CD

Then the stunning original recording Cat Stevens "Tea for the Tillerman" 1989 CD4280 made by Denon Japan for A&M. After those CD's an a couple of Gin and Tonics under my belt I was out there and back in the 70’s +

Then sat down which I watched Alien Covenant which I’ve never seen, and with Covid19 now mutating, this movie kinda spun me out.

Cheers George
