Fred Neil "Everybody's Talkin'" (Theme From "Midnight Cowboy") sealed/cut-out
|
I have some new interconnects coming. Will wait for a while to report. |
Link Wray "S/T" Polydor/pp |
Roger Waters "Radio KAOS" UK |
@tomic601 ,
I'll get to it soon.
,........,.,,,
@spiritofradio,
I looked at my order history, I ordered Aoife @the first of February. Sure seems like it was Nov. |
@uberwaltz,
What’s the difference do you think? By my memory, it is a consistently recorded set. I do have the 1st pressing, if that makes any difference? $54.95. It was too good a deal to pass on then. |
Peter Gabriel "Passion The Last Temptation of Christ" 3 lp/45 rpm |
Low "Trust" dbl lp/AAA/freshly cleaned |
Khruangbin "Con Todo El Mundo" |
."stuck in traffic again....." |
|
For the heck of it... just US cleaned Rolling Stones "Flowers" London/BellSound
This may be a winner for a lp that presents the most inconsistencies, song to song of any I've ever heard. |
|
@nicks25,
I'm more interested in the libations. |
The Mountain Goats "In League With Dragons"
This lp sounds so good. |
|
Thanks for posting the video Geoff. Yeah @tomic601 , the "S/T" lp I picked up in an auction 3 years ago. Sounds great, has a cool jacket as well. Check out "Live at the Paradiso", the sonics are OK but the performance makes up for it. |
Just listened to "Steady On".
After hearing the 45rpm first, the 33 sounds a little slower and the volume output slightly less.
(I kept the volume the same at 10 o’clock.)
As far as SQ differences, I’d say the 45rpm is more open, whereas the 33 rpm is definitely a warmer sounding lp.
Both are very enjoyable.
This record has been my go-to for years in evaluating system changes. It offers everything minus brass/piano |
|
Side two of the 45 rpm Shawn is "Steady On" acoustic. Wow! Then "Stranded". Again, slightly more open, not a big deal.
I saw her at a local club, totally acoustic, 25 years ago. |
First track on "Riding....", Got the volume up at 2:15, no problem. Even the next track, same.
Everything sounds analog without compression here so far. |
I feel fortunate in that I re-discovered Tony Joe White close to his death. I had bought all of his (recent) releases on YepRoc..
"Rain Crow" 2016/YepRoc |
Saving the rest of "Boots No. 2" for tomorrow. |
Thanks Jim for mentioning "Riding With The King". My German pressing is sounding excellent. No song to song, different recording venue issues. The louder, the better! |
Ya'know Jim, I have made comparisons with a few Dylan recordings. I absolutely love the Dylan mono box set, sounds so analog. Yet when I compare a title from that set to a stereo MFSL copy, I get a more open transparent SQ but I'm not sure I like it better.
So, there's the rub. Now, with more modern Dylan recordings, I can imagine that "Oh Mercy" would definitely be superior.
This is the burden I bear that I share. |
"Riding With the King" up now. |
@bob540,
Unfortunately a hair dryer just isn't the same as a steamer. (Last Resort), put some lighter fluid on a rag and on a flat surface, press down pretty hard and give it one wipe. Don't wipe back and forth. |
Appalachia Rising "Leylines" |
I own "Eden Alley", good songwriting. |
Ray Lamontagne "Ouroboros" |
Chuck Prophet "The Land That Time Forgot"
I put this on my "Best of 2020" thread earlier and I'm not backing down. Whether you never heard CP before or if you own all his stuff, I believe this is certainly his best and deserved of one of the best records of this year. |
John Prine "For Better, Or Worse". |
@boxer12,
Got in "Eight Gates" Jason Molina's last effort.
Actually heard a cut from it on my local college radio station yesterday.
Hope to listen soon. |
|
BTW, while looking at the RSD releases, I saw a box set of John Prine first four lps re-mastered by KG.
Love to own that one!

@tomic601 ,

Uriah Heep "Demons & Wizards" |
Jade Imagine "Basic Love" |
Doug MacLeod "Exactly Like This" ReferenceRecordings/1/2 speed/45rpm
My ,"reset" record for tonight. |
Regarding Savoy Brown, any of you have "Getting to the Point"? Good blues lp. |
|
The Beatles UK Blue Box
I bought this unplayed 3 years ago.
I have much experience with The Beatles, I can say, so far, these are the best sounding stereo, versions I’ve heard.
Super quiet.
Only cleaned the first two lps so far. |
