James,
Great thoughts.
Use to do it in the car with "repeat" or "skip". |
Jason Isbell "Southeastern" |
"WTCBU", lp 3
This is actually sides 2 &5. |
Spooky Tooth "The Last Puff" A&M/pp
Starts out with a very cool version of "I Am the Walrus" |

J. Geils Band "The Morning After" MFSL |
@tomic601 ,
"Too Long in the Wasteland" is an imperfect but enjoyable record. I think the praise it received years ago wouldn't happen these days. I'm referring to SQ.
It's a digital recording and it lacks soul. The content is wonderful.

Wow!!! |
Natalie Merchant "Paradise There" ( The New Tigerlily Recordings)
If you're searching for more Natalie on vinyl.......
I own "Tigerlily" MFSL
I think this version sounds at least as good, probably better. Posted about it years ago. |
"Tigerlilly" MFSL/45 Rpm This version is superior.
|
Songs : Ohia "Axxess & Ace" |
There's quite a bit of body part movement going on here..... |
This configuration serves higher volume levels well. Of course, sub settings will make a difference. |
Magnolia Electric Co. "Trials & Errors"
2005 |
Keith Richards "Live @ The Hollywood Palladium" |
Well, just made a switch...I promised to compare some of my "footers" a couple years ago.
At that time Kevin started a thread on ceramic cones.
I’ve been using Stillpoints in my system in addition to the spring systems I’ve made.
I just swapped the Stillpoints Minis (4) under my Trio with (3) Golden Sound cones.
Listening to the same album at the same volume, there is less bass boom while the bass seems less exaggerated.
Of course, this is on my righteous wall decoupling system, and the Trio is on an extra BDR Shelf.
I think I like it this way. We’ll see. |
Brandi Carlisle "Give up the Ghost"
Using Three MyMats..... |
Drive-By Truckers "Southern Rock Opera"
OP/Lost Highway/120gram |
......"it was said, that when the paramedics got there,
Freebird was playing on the stereo,
You know, it's a very..long song"....
Drive-By Truckers |
"It's a Struggle" Keith Richards |
Love "Starfish" @waltersalas |
All of this comparing ain’t exactly fun but it can be rewarding.
|
Frankly, from memory, using 3 MyMats on the Brandi Carlisle lp, the overall SQ is smoother, the bass is more integrated without being overdone. |
Walter Trout ...Wow!!!
Needs to gets me more. |
@boxer12 ,
"Blue Dream" is such a great album! It's gotten much play on my tt.

James,
Saw that Covet lp, caught my attention. Give us your thoughts.
|
@bdp24,
Your response kind of surprises me. I have the "Couldn’t Stand The Weather" UD1S arriving on Sat.
I was surprised to read my Beatles Mono box is selling for over a grand now!
I think those who are more well heeled, do buy these pressings for later sale at a profit. |
That one sounds like it would be good James. |
I hate to rain on anyone’s parade but regarding The Who "Live @ Leeds" 3 lp re-master. There are two re-mastered versions of these. One is by Universal from 2017, the other is the latest German pressing re-mastered at Abbey Road. The later is $9.00 more.
I had this on my radar when I first saw it and it fell off. I just ordered the later version. |
Colter Wall "Western Swing & Waltzes" and other punchy songs |
Gillian Welch "Soul Journey" Acony/2003
Wow!!! |
I'm happy with the system changes I made a few days ago involving rearranging isolation products. |
|
Easily heard as dark, and dynamically deficient.
Maybe I can put my Classic up for auction? |
The Delines again after a nice hot steam

Tom,
Looking at Discogs, there was an Abbey Road, 1/2 speed re-master in 2016 on the Back to Black series. Apparently there’s been more than two, 3 lp re-masters. My Back to Black lps all sound very good.
Let’s compare pressing notes when I receive my copy. |
One day, I’ll figure out how to post images.
|
Never got that one Jim, actually never heard it. What do you think? |
I passed on the Santana because I had previously bought in to all the other reissues. Common’!
I will say that of the 4 UD1S titles I do own, they are vastly superior to previous copies.
I now have to include, Patricia Barber "Cafe Blue" Impex. Sounds vastly superior to my 33/45rpm MFSL pressings |
I have been seriously considering the Doors 45 rpm versions but I just know Chad will put them out on his one step version. |
The Mountain Goats "In League With Dragons"
Excellent in every way! |
Count Basie "On My Way & Shoutin’ Again" mono/Verve/1962
Another disappointing lp ordered off Discogs....for VG+ lp & cover.
Did a deep clean, we’ll see? |
Tom,
The thread (johnto) started was inquiring about the Abbey Road half- speed re-master. Since I've had great luck with all AB re-masters, that's the one I ordered. |
I thought you had turned in Jim....
Investing in yet one more copy of Tapestry would be a stretch for me since I own the Classic Records version already. |
