Lucinda Williams - "Little Honey" |
Luna - "Penthouse" - RSD Exclusive Deluxe 180 Gram 2LP - Rhino |
@slaw - No report yet. But I'm still thinking about it.
For anyone who cares, I love my vintage Infinity RS1.5s. They are large 3-way monitor style speakers like JBLs, Large Advents and the large Harbeths. They have the classic Infinity EMIT tweeters and the famous dual voice-coil Watkins woofers. Anyway, I love them, but they are 40 years old and I've been thinking about rebuilding them in modern, heavily braced cabinets and mirror imaging them. I would also replace the Xover caps at the same time and re-wire with high end wire and binding posts.
I also have a pair of their predecessors, the Infinity Qb. I might do the project on them first, as a proof of concept.
Not a good time for a project right now. Work is really busy (primary customer is a Healthcare Manufacturer), plus fishing season, cycling season and gardening season is upon us. Might have to wait until winter. |

YAZ - "You and Me Both"
Not my favorite from YAZ or Alison Moyet. But I haven't played it in years and it has a couple of decent highlights. |
@tomic601 - Never done the ice fishing thing. I play hockey and ski in the winter. Not looking for another winter activity. But it does involve drinking beer, right? So it can't be that bad..... I fish a few days every year in Lake St. Clair. Had my best day ever there last November. Two smallie over 6 lbs. and another couple over 5. Good day. Hope to fish Presque Isle Bay for the first time this month. Hear it's really good.
My Qbs are not nearly as nice as my RS1.5s, so I think they are a logical first project. We'll see.... |

|
@slaw - Cool. BTW, I just started the night with the 10cc record. I like it!
|
Robert Cray - "Strong Persuader"
|
Strawbs - "Bursting at the Seams" Never heard it before. I like it! |
Concrete Blonde - "Bloodletting" Just arrived (on Sunday morning!) from Amazon Prime.
|
Brian Auger's Oblivion Express - "Closer to it" |
Dan Fogelberg - "High Country Snows"
I don't own much Bluegrass music, and I guess this one would be "Bluegrass Lite". Anyway, when I saw the lineup of musicians, I could not resist. Turns out, it is a pretty good record. I'm really enjoying it. Check out this lineup:
Dan Fogelberg, Herb Pedersen, Ricky Skaggs, David Grisman, Chris Hillman, Al Perkins, Charlie McCoy, Russ Kunkel, Emory Gordon, Jr., Jim Buchanan, Jerry Douglas, David Briggs, Vince Gill, Michael Hanna and a special appearance by Doc Watson. |
Styx - "The Grand illusion". Just bought a very nice used copy. Haven't heard it in many years. I'm enjoying it, but the SQ is not great. Was hoping for some analog magic, but it's just OK.
|
Cat Stevens - "Teaser and the Firecat"
|
BoDeans - "Outside Looking In"
|
Atlanta Rhythm Section - "a rock and roll alternative"
|
|
Strawbs - "Bursting at the Seams"
|
|
Klaatu - "S/T" - Just showed up in the mail today from a nice eBay seller. Fun stuff. I've wanted the album for a very long time. Finally got around to purchasing a copy.
|
Paul Simon - "Still Crazy After All These Years" |
Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio - "Live at KEXP"
Awesome Stuff...... Funky Organ Soul Jazz. These guys played on Record Store Day 2018 at my LRS - Plaid Room Records. Was great fun....
|
|
The Cranberries - "Everyone else is doing it, so why can't we?" |
@slaw - what new speakers did you get? What did you replace?
|
@stevecham - Right on! That was quite a listening session you had a few days ago. Love that Dinosaur Jr. record. "Dollar Bill" is an awesome cut.... |
|
Steve,
I know. My clock is messed up......... |
|
World Party - "Goodbye Jumbo" - CHEN 10. Just arrived from the UK, thanks eBay! Came with a bonus of two additional World Party LPs. Happy Day! |
BTW, the cheap, flimsy World Party - "Goodbye Jumbo" LP - CHEN 10 - UK 1990 absolutely smokes the original 1990 US CD release of the same album. And thats using a CD player that cost 4X the price of my modest TT setup.
|
Yes - "Tales From Topographic Oceans"
|
Finishing up the first pass of the 3 World Party LP's I just purchase from the UK via eBay. Last one up:
World Party - "Bang"
|
|
World Party - "Private Revolution" |
|
Brewer and Shipley - "ST11261"
|
I find "In Search of the Lost Chord" to be much better. |
Man, that Moody Blues album - "On the Threshold of a Dream" is a real stinker. What a load of pretentious crap. It's going into the "to trade" pile. I do really like the song - "Lovely to See You", but every other track is just crap (IMHO).
Moving on the The Moody Blues - "In Search of the Lost Chord" |
Procol Harum - "A Salty Dog" - MoFi re-issue, just arrived in the mail today...... Nice! |
Willie Nelson - "Startdust" - MoFi Silver Label - Picked up an unopened copy from the used record bins at my LSR on Record Store Day. $16.99 for a new one! A great pick......
|
Steve Earle - "Townes-The Basics" - Another Record Store Day pick from the used record bins.... |
Red House Painters - "Songs for a Blue Guitar" |
Supertramp - "Paris" - Another Record Store Day pick from the used bins - $3.99 for a really nice, clean copy of this live double LP.
|
The Supremes - "at the Copa" - I saw this in the used record bin at my LRS on Record Store Day 2018. I couldn't resist! I remember my oldest sister listening to this back when I was a wee lad. It brings back good memories.
|
Cowboy Junkies - "The Trinity Session" - The last of my RSD 2018 purchases......
|
Chet Baker - "My Funny Valentine" 2017 Wagram Music Remaster.
|
Procol Harum - "A Salty Dog" 2017 Mofi re-issue.....again.....
It's so good.....
