For me, The Mountain Goats lp comes across as expertly crafted/smartly conceived.

Thanks guys for your understanding.
Just think what some may do with further admissions, (chakster) |
@drrsutliff ,
Noticed you play "Future Games" often. It's one of my FM favorites. Have you searched out a superior pressing? I think both of mine are steamboat/Reprise/US. |
Jim,
I assume you are AQ all the way with your Vandersteens/relationship?
I was top secret until I decided to share...my brother. |
Another cleaning story, listening, again to Low. Earlier, sides 3&4 had many ticks. Probably played it once, 3 years ago. It still had lots of ticks. Put it thru a deep steam, then a 50 minute US cycle.
Playing now, Wow! Tics gone.
Never give up!
|
Uber,
Interesting, my former Chinese tank, stated a max time of 50 min. Then 10 a ten minute wait before resumming another cycle. The Vibrato has no similar limitations. |
Speaking of "Tommy", my Simply Vinyl copy is up now. |
Put on first lp, side one from Jimi (purple velvet box), sounds very transparent. All important musical factors are present. Nice bass.
Meets all my previous expectations. |
Uber, once again, interesting you have such differing opinions of those sides?
This suggests to me that something isn't stable in your playback? |
After lp one of Hendix, I’ll move on.
To me, the box sounds so present, like you are there. |
H.C. McEntire "Lionheart"
|
Andrew Bird "Are You Serious" op w/7" 45/blue vinyl. |
I just can't imagine anyone feeling the way you do.! |
The Rural Alberta Advantage "Mended With Gold"
|
The Rolling Stones "Miss You" pp
Hate to say it but I took this lp off. I bought it years ago from Tom Port for $20.00. He said it was a good sounding pressing. I can now disagree...sounds grating and in your face. |
Simon & Garfunkel "Bookends"
My all time favorite lp. I happened to find my best sounding copy for $1 @ a yard sale. |
|
Jade Imagine "Basic Love"
A (new to me) artist from Courtney Barnett's Milk Records label. When I auditioned it, I ordered both of her lps. |
Thanks @ghosthouse. I've needed some Van recommendations as I own very little of his vast catalog. Do own "Period of Transition" though.
I'm glad I'm no critic...to be one seems to be a musical life without joy.
|
@drrsutliff ,
I was looking @ your system earlier....love your OL TT! A pair of the Townshend speaker isolation platforms are on my wishlist. |
@hopkins34,
Wow buddy! I love your style. |
"High Country Snows" sounds intriguing. |
Father John Misty "I Love You Honeybear"
Great!!! |
Gene Clarke "No Other" 2019/re-master/4AD |
A.B.Skhy "Ramblin' On''
Another recent find. MGM/1970/pp
A San Fran rock 'n' roll band. Put out two? Lps.
SQ is VG! |
Well @spiritofradio,
You do have a way...of writing that speaks to the soul.
I love that about you.Given my previous posts, I feel confident that anyone waiting for a negative review, will have to wait a very long time.
I just don't think, at the point of time I'm in, this lp will out perform sonically, The Stills lp! |
Buddy Miller "Cruel Moon"..........."Sometimes I Cry" is a standout! |
|
uber,
It depends on several things. In this case, I just knew the record was somewhat darker than it should be. BTW, records will sound better US cleaned at no less than 2" apart.
I’ve never hurt a lp in any of my US cleaners
|
|
Put "No Other' through a 50 min./US clean @ 40 C.....opened it up just enough to make it much more enjoyable. |
I've been a fan of "Bored in the USA" |
I'm planning on an all-nighter folks
We'll' see.................. |
Sounds right up my alley @noromance |
Glen Hansard "Between Two Shores"
|
The Wooden Birds "Two Matchsticks" |
The Wooden Birds "Magnolia" |
@tomic601 ,
"Passion" is so much more enjoyable with the new interconnects. Open & dynamic. |
Maddy Prior & June Tabor "Silly Sisters"
|
Lisa Hannigan & Stargaze "Live in Dublin"
|
One can't really play Lisa without thinking about......
Damien Rice "O" |
spirit,
Wow, brother....
I've often wondered how he remembers his loong lyrics....
Glad to know you're a fan. |
Pixies "Bossanova" 30th/4AD |
Rilo Kiley "Under The Blacklight" |
@mammothguy54,
Thanks;
Did not know about Aqualung I don't like Chad based upon my conversation with him years ago.
May order it but focusing on SRV "Couldn't Stand The Weather"
|
I have a new, in box, double boxed, Bob Dylan "The Original Mono Recordings".
I already have a copy...that I love, BTW.
This one is sealed, I have $180.00 in it. Not looking to make a profit.
Anyone interested? |
Devon Allman "Ride or Die" |
The Turtles "It Ain't Me Babe" pp/White Whale |
Joan Armatrading "Show Some Emotion" |
