The closest I come is Dregs of the Earth. Have two copies, one is a D2D I believe. Thanks for the recommendation!

How long to the AudioMods arm arrives @j_husker 

 

Lucinda Williams "Down Where The Spirit Meets the Bone"

streaming, but the vinyl feeds the soul.....

@boxer12,

Great! I've been in loving my Sussurro for a while. Still looking forward in going backwards to my Zephyr MIMC * ES
@noromance,

I bought "Green" when it came out soley because they we're one of the hot bands and it was on the radio constantly. Truth be told, I may have played it twice? I should play it again just to see if I should cull it or not.
REM "Automatic For the People" op.
Haven’t listened to this one in years. At that time with my (then) system, I felt it was bright/strident, lacking body and soul. Years later, it does sound much better/ more enjoyable. Certainly not perfect. Lots of good songs here.

Back from my grandson's "graduation". He's 5.

 

While out of town, I stopped by the record store. Here is what I got.

Rory Galligher "Live @ Montreux"

2006/earMusic/mastered for vinyl/100% virgin vinyl w/cd 

 

Helen Merrill w/ Clifford Brown 

WaxTime/#771719/ DMM 

 

Tanita Tikaram "Ancient Heart"

1988/Reprise/gold stamped promo

really surprised/glad to snatch this up!

@boxer12,

Wilson either borrowed or stole many of the well known guitar licks/synth from "The Wall". Hard to believe he didn’t ask permission, it’s so obvious.

The Crosby 50th sounds great! Bested my Classic Records easily. 

The new one has a speed correction that's easily heard.

Phish "Story of the Ghost"

I think my copy is an OP. I know these were (maybe still are) going for big bucks. It was re-issued not very long ago, don't know if that affected originals' value or not.
I recently ordered Fleetwood Mac "Rumours" 45rpm for $50. ( Got a 15 % discount, so subtract $7.50) I know it’s been repressed but likely much better than my 33 rpm version that came out originally both at the same time.

Keep seeing the original 45 rpm going for $90 on several sites. Figured, get it while I can.
I concur with your justifications @mammothguy54. Here’s another one, while I don’t presume to say stop going to live shows ( we’re now forced to mostly), I can always hear the band I want anytime without spending $35 on up for a one time experience.
Birdy "S/T" 

Listening to this lp was an emotional experience for me years ago.


@boxer12,

Saw on All-Music that Calexico has a holiday lp out..."Seasonal Shift". That should be interesting?

"Algiers"
This is a great time for lp lovers!

I focus more on new music I like on vinyl as it will probably never be available again for the most part. The classic stuff will always be there, although at an ever increasing cost.
Get this guy's, I bought a scooter years ago during the $4.00 + gas hike so I could afford my music/stereo addiction.

It paid for itself in 4 years 
Regarding concerts in the Covid age.....
I read Gov't Mule has their last one of the year outside. You pay for an 8x8 space. Pretty cool.
Jesse Sykes & The Sweet Hereafter " Like, Love & Lust & The Open Halls of the Soul" 

Woosh...that's one long title!

Hey Daniel, 

I see Galaxie 500 on your playlist. Have you heard Dean Wareham's latest solo lp?

Glad you liked it Greg. On my Classic 3 it made it totally quiet which translates into clearer sound.
I watched Danny Ritchie’s (GR Research) video about his speaker cable kit. He uses ESR paper on the ends. He says it’s important to use just enough or SQ will falter.

I have some ESR 1" tape. I wrapped each end of my DIY PC feeding my Hydra 8, one turn, around the connector.. Instantly, noise level dropped.

Will most likely wrap all cables in my system.  I can imagine taping the inside of all my electrical outlet boxes.
