Well Steve, even the Robots have need of a Prophet….
i am an equalized robot in a tone control world
|
James ;-) I think Honey Hush as loud volumes will suffice !
on a more serious note, and I posted on this and in one of my system photos is a RTA shot of scaling acoustic bass - tons of harmonics ( and low and behold w upper harmonics.... stereo and ambient information ) lots of energy left at 250 HZ....
yes the fundamental might be mono, but...,, |
James - my singing voice is right on par with my skill as a bassist- everything I do sounds letter in the shower and the elevator... |
OK I got the RM-9 back with the low noise 6922, Super low Noise front end 6922 and EL 34 all matched by RAM and properly biased out .... and HOLY !!!!!!
Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit - Reunions
this is a really fine disc :-)
and James I agree, Jason has been taking a similar stand on Twitter a fan said “ you are going to lose Some customers, Jason replied “ but I get to Keep my whole soul”... |
I know First World problems, leftover “ girls “
I agree the RM-4 is a bit I rescued for $125 , so we shall see... kicking myself for selling the Benz Ebony H at moment, but then again..... this hobby has it’s momentary lapses of reason... |
I take a few days away and @noromance leaves team Jelco for parts unknown ???
on a somewhat related note, my rescue Sumiko FT-3 is headed back to me with new Cardas wire, fixed bearings AND a Carbon Fiber arm wand... it’s a fairly stout arm in aluminum- I am hoping it is now up to a Decca.... we shall see... |
@bdp24 aint no way she is going to hear any of that, she just thinks I am crazy... |
Lucinda- Good Souls Better Angels |
Steve Tim from @maze_analog here on Audiogon- incredibly reasonable prices, great communication and turnaround.
Only caveat is I have not heard it yet but to be fair Tim will have rescued an arm that has been broken and unused for 12 years ( not by me ).... fun :-)
|
@noromance girls... plural...
@slaw Tim is in safe and secure Kansas... even Toto made it back! |
Good band name: Leftover Girls... |
So the flat black disc analog front end for Poverty Bay is shaping up: SOTA Sapphire, Sumiko / Maze FT-3 Tonearm, Cartridge TBD, IF MC then into a Music Reference RM-4 then into a Single chassis Croft RIAA- RS....MC or MI right into Croft.
The B&O will go into duty in the Vintage system....
you guys are a bad influence... |
What full circle are u guys nattering on about? |
@noromance well that is one fine looking tonearm !!!!!! Sonic thoughts or 2 soon to know ???? |
@noromance thanks for the Croft tube recommendation:-)
hoping an album in the pile reveals itself to me as worthy of your collection |
Is Garrot brothers still around ? |
|

Warren Haynes - Ashes and Dust featuring Rail Road Earth

i got Gyoza....a and a nice Pinot
45 rpm A release of In Step |
James et al:
power line polarity is not same as absolute signal polarity.
it can be honked up by pier company out thru your panel, etc. my Herron phono preamp also has a AC polarity switch and sounds different in each position - listen and pick the best.Music signal polarity switch is important because some components invert polarity, so driver is going in when should be going out. Only us Vandersteen owners really care.. ha |
Reiner / Chicago- Dvorak - New World
into
Marley / Wailers - Babylon by Bus
with a heavy heavy emphasis on the protest songs... |
@slaw Allison is ex sister in law and my opinion much more talented than her sister |
So with no switches, check to see IF each component inverts , then it’s just math...if you need to get back to absolute by inverting speaker cables. Obviously that fix can be a puta if you have sources that do or don’t invert.
my MX-110Z has an inverted switch and a bunch of other handy features... purist preamps ... oh well, not so much |
I have the first Trigger Hippy on the Server, dig them...
I am spinning Tull - Aqualung.... so nice |

|
Craigslist... no photo.. MoFi DSOM, Many D2D, 110 LP asking $200
must have been Karma to pass up at my LRS the other day...
fun
Every dog has it’s day.... |
Dead - Workingman’s Dead ( MoFi 45 rpm #2350 ) |
Charlie Musselwhite- Times Gettin’ Tougher Than Tough ( Crystal Clear D2D CCS 5005 circa 1978 )
startling in the best moments |
Minty “ RIT “ was in the pile for $1.82
still pinching myself |
Kottke / Fahey / Lang ( Takhoma 1040 circa 1974 )
@bdp24 do you have this one ? |
DSOTM ( MoFi ) have not owned this since 1986....
there was also an OP in the pile , so I can join the pressing comparison club !!! Both appear mint... |
Impressions on side one:
both grade visually quite well , like NM or NM-, the MoFi is massively quieter. I think the OP is Canada issue Harvest SMAS 11163.. much more surface noise than I can tolerate for long...
loads more detail on the MoFi but it seems oddly compressed vs the “ OP “ which is cut hotter with a smile EQ...
Funny but back in the day I would have used the MoFi w the big ADS and the OP to wake up the Kef reference series...
per Reubent, the OP is headed to the cull pile... |
@slaw so glad you got that excited about Reunions- it’s that good !!!! |
Tell me you don’t hear Star Wars.... |
Playing sides to grade..
BB King - Indianola Mississippi Seeds
man this LP has jump factor !!! |
