@cal3713 I think it is an Excellent Album "We Out Here" that 95% or more of us , have no idea about. I accidentally found it on Bandcamp. looking at something else.. I was listening to my JRiver media center last night and came across a Bunch of Albums from Ben Harper. "The Will To Live" stood out for me , so i decided to look for it on Vinyl. haaaaaa. I love that record from him. Don't even try , unless you are willing to pay over $100 for a NM copy. Most are way over that. Same thing happened to me when I heard another Excellent Album while listening to Pandora .It was Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood from MSG I was going to try to find it on Vinyl .HUH. https://www.discogs.com/Eric-Clapton-and-Steve-Winwood-Live-From-Madison-Square-Garden/release/26894... You see, I have only been back into this Vinyl for maybe 2 years or less. But stuff like that is disappointing |
@spiritofradio I have not ,but will check them out. Thanks for the recommendation. I want to give you all another Album that IMO is Damn good. It is a compilation of Players, or Groups from the RED HOT 2018 Jazz scene, in London, with groups like..... Kokoroko, Ezra Collective, Shebaka Hastings. Nubya Garcia, Moses Boyd , Joe Armon Jones It is called "We Out Here" |
@spiritofradioThasnks for checking it out. When I said that is is one of the best Recordings that I have heard. I did not mean The most intimate ,close miked 3d sound , like most people would look for or like to hear, what I meant was that it was well Engineered to sound damn good, If you Turn IT up kinda Loud. The album begs you to Crank it up a bit . The way it was recorded, you can hear a lot of detailed, spatial sound and little percussion type instruments and very unique sounds coming from different spaces and still has Killer Deep bass and it is never overwhelming. You just feel like it wraps around you .and you are in the sound mix . If nothing else , It is Totally Unique and Interesting. It will put a smile on OH and BTW my Vinyl copy was a little noisy in a couple spots ,so I bought the last Mint copy on Discogs. for $80 a month or 2 ago ,but keep your eyes open.. I think that it is much better on Vinyl than Cd ... i own both |
"Psyco On Da' Bus" --Dr L and Tony Allen... (RIP Tony Allen) Amazing Dynamics ,Bass and details. I can crank it up pretty loud. If your turntable will let you turn it up loud without any nasties .. It is Freakin Amazing ..It is a Journey and or an Adventure Track #2 "Never Satisfied" is my Favorite track The Bass notes near the beginning of 2 out of the 3 "Time To Take A Rest Part 1 " , "Time To Take A Rest Part 2" and "Time To Take A Rest Part 3 is so low and pronounced it Sounds like a "Great Sub" out of my Tekton Double Speakers playing without a SUB. This Recording IMO is one of the best recorded Albums that I have Ever came across. I use A McIntosh Mx151 Pre/with Lyngdorg Roomperfect Room Correction. . The MX151 has an excellent Phono Stage. Turntable is the Victor QL-A7 ..made in japan (100 Volt). Cartridge is the JVC Z1-S (MD-1025) cartridge with a needle from Jico . It is the SAS for the JVC Z1-*S with a Boron cantilever.. I also have the Stanton 681 EEE MKIII, the ADC MK. ADC XLM MKII Improved , and IMO the JVc Z1-S with the SAS from JICO is just as good as either of those . I should not say this , as I would not want to "Gamestop" the price of JVC-Z1-S I am also using the standard analog cables that came with the Victor QL-A7 but have connected a pair of Von Gaylord Chinchilla interconnects (1.5 or 2 meters in length) to the end of the analog cables on the QL-A7 extending their length. Also using a Belles 150A Reference V2 Stereo Amp. Sorry to be long winded , but I felt that I Need to Let you know the setup. It is playing a BIG ROLE in this Albums Excellent sound Since I know own the QL--A7 , I will say that IMO, it is one of the best vintage tables out there , for the money, and it plays Very Well with my setup The SAS ( Super Analogue Stylus ) Designed to mimic as close as possible a record cutting head/cutting lathe for highest fidelity & lifespan usually fitted to a precision boron , sapphire , ruby or zirconium ultra light & rigid cantilever SAS -Natural single-crystal, nude-mounted octahedral diamond stylus tip , The stylus tip is of optimum height and a uniformly ultra-precision finish. The Super Analogue Stylus has a curvature with a smaller radius that was impossible with the Micro Ridge Stylus. As thin as a razor blade and machined with ultra precision, the stylus tip ensures unsurpassed fidelity. Polished finish that virtually preserves your record's grooves.World-class polishing technique is used on each stylus. This is designed to preserve the details of the record groove structure for a very long time — virtually for the life of the vinyl. |
