This -> "It doesn’t really need to be categorized though, you know. Good stuff."
This is a really good record. It's a double LP and it sounds GREAT! Stream it, then buy it on vinyl if you like it...
Aaron Parks - "Little Big"

@slaw and @zm Thanks for the Happy Birthday wishes! Let's see if I get to my other Birthday LP tonight - Titus Andronicus - "The Monitor". I've been streaming it a bit over the last couple of months. I liked it quite a bit at first, but the singer's vocals have started to grate on me. Let's see if the vinyl version makes it more enjoyable. |
Guys, I've been busy riding bikes, buying bikes, selling bikes, building bikes........ Typical obsessive stuff, you know, like LPs and LP Playback gear. Still trying to get in 2000 miles this summer and also keep my 16 year old interested in the hobby. I've been listening to music, but mostly streaming for convenience. Haven't spent much time in the cave lately, so very few LPs. Also, my best LRS is curbside pickup only. What's the fun in that? I'll be back when the days get shorter and it gets cooler. Until then, Enjoy the Music (on vinyl). |
@felixa - Welcome to the best thread on AudiogoN! Keep 'em coming... |
Love it! "Never My Love" is (IMHO) one of the greatest songs EVER! Plus, on the greatest hits record you get "Windy", "Cherish" and "Along Came Mary". Unfortunately, you don't get my second favorite song from The Association - "Wantin' Ain't Gettin'". Check it out if you don't know it... |
Hey Guys, it's my 6000th post! Only took 21 years to achieve, and just over a year since I reached the 5000 post milestone. So, what's a man to do for his 6000th post? Post the latest LP to be put on the TT to the best thread on AudiogoN, of course! Without further ado, I present to you... Pete Townshend - "White City" |
@tunehead - Welcome to the best thread on AudiogoN! Congrats on the new cartridge. How's it sounding of you? |
Continuing the playing of local bands from here in Cincinnati.... Just arrived in the mail today... 500 Miles to Memphis - "Blessed be the Damned" Americana Punk Rock! Pretty great album IMHO. Not an audiophile album. Unfortunately, the copy I received is warped all to heck. Gonna try to get a replacement from 500MTM, and hope their entire stock is no afflicted. BTW, I ordered direct from their site and they threw in a couple of nice "gifts" and a brief handwritten note. |
Hate to ask, but, you did change the switch from MM to MC on your phono stage to increase the gain to match the lower output of the MC cartridge? And yes, I believe all cartridges benefit from 50-100 hours of break-in. Should improve gradually over time until you get some hours on it. I haven't had an MC cartridge in a long time. The phono section in my current integrated amp only supports MM cartridges. |
palasr, Thanks for your post about the 12" single of Supertramp's 'Cannonball". I took a look on eBay and found one in the UK. It's on the way to my house. Hopefully its the correct one. It is a 12" 45 RPM single. Side 1 is Cannonball (Direct to Disk Version) and Side 2 is Cannonball (Instrumental). Looking forward to hearing it. |
a58g, Glad you enjoyed it. I think it's a great softer rock record. Good early morning wake-up call or nighttime sign-off... I've really enjoyed this thread, along with "what's playing on your system" and "what's in your CD player". I've found some great music, or was reminded of some old favorites. I worked late this evening and stopped in the local Half Price Books on the way home. Picked up a few LP's to spin on the Pro-Ject tonight. Got the following: Jeff Beck - Performing This Week.... Live at Ronnie Scott's (new 180G) The Knack - Get the Knack (used) Bruce Springsteen - The River (used) Emmylou Harris with Spyboy - Live in Germany 2000 (new DMM cutting) |
