@dayglow Jailbreak CD was on the system (decent actually for a record store- why are they usually so bad? Don’t they realize that they would sell more records if the sound in their stores was better?) at my favorite LRS evening before last (scored the Tucky Buzzard Box Set) so had to play it after we got home. The CD must have been remastered because it didn’t sound like my record at all. Way more midrange forward and far less grunt and growl. Less bite on the lead solos. It was still sweet to hear it in public like that though and sweeter still to crank it up back on the home horns. My copy is from high school days but is in surprisingly great shape. you know, there are statues of Phil Lynnot in Ireland. I’ve never been there but my rocker brother has sent me photos. |
Here’s How Records Give You More Of What You Want: • The Best For Less. Records give you top quality for less money than any other recorded form. • They Allow Selectivity Of Songs And Tracks. With records it’s easy to pick out the songs you want to play, or to play again in a particular song or side. All you have to do is lift the tone arm and place it where you want it. You can’t do this as easily with anything but a phonograph record. • They’re The Top Quality In Sound. Long-playing phonograph records look the same now as when they were introduced in 1948, but there’s a world of difference. Countless refinements and developments have been made to perfect the long-playing record’s technical excellence and insure the best in sound reproduction and quality available in recorded form. • They’ll Give You Hours Of Continuous And Uninterrupted Listening Pleasure. Just stack them up on your automatic changer and relax. • They’re Attractive, Informative And Easy To Store. Record albums are never out of place. Because of the aesthetic appeal of the jacket design, they’re beautifully at home in any living room or library. They’ve also got important information on the backs-about the artists, about the performances or about the program. And because they’re flat and not bulky, you can store hundreds in a minimum of space and still see every title. |
Yeah sorry, I may have confused Bundles with “Seven”, the prior album. Check this out... https://youtu.be/i5AdkYRm344 |
Soft Machine Bundles Atlantic 1975 OP @reubent hey, didn’t go back to check but I may have steered you wrong about which Soft Machine recording features the phenomenal Alan Holdsworth, if so I apologize, it’s this one and it’s right in your wheelhouse bro. I’m really enjoying it now. Man o man holdsworth is fast and works in chord structures that don’t feel standard at all. |
@bkeske I’ve received more varying opinions and seemingly subjective advice and direction from electricians in a field that seems like it should follow harder rules and objective principles. However, I’m told by folks, who are certainly more knowledgeable than I am, that a dedicated line for your rig should stay separated from everything else and that it’s ground should extend separately all the way to its own ground rod. |
Only 4 homes on our transformer (we were in the last 60 of 70,000 to be repaired after this winter’s ice storms?) but I think the noise must come from much further afield too. Ours is the only one of the four to have air conditioning. All these things factor in I’m discovering with now having much more sensitive and revealing speakers. Isolation made an obvious improvement. Shunyata Research Hydra yielded an additional increment (more consistency). I’m still on the fence about the 20 amp dedicated line, it sounds the same as the regular plug circuit. Someday I may try reworking the ground on the dedicated line to see if that does anything. |
