Conor Oberst – Salutations (Nonesuch 2017)

One of my favorites. Grows on you and you can't imagine not ever owning it. Bob Ludwig mastered. Recommended. 

Aurora – A Different Kind Of Human, Step 2 (Glassnote 2019)

If you get a chance, check her out on YouTube. This album is fine.

Basie & Zoot – Basie & Zoot (Pablo 1976)

Count Basie – Basie Jam #2 (Pablo 1977)

I use a few drops of Triton X100 in the US tank. Always rinse in the SpinClean. 

@sbank Streaming Eva Cassidy. I must admit I did not know she passed 25 years ago. Brought a tear to the soul.

Her last performance. 

 

@bkeske Streaming the Dvořák. Love the cover. Červená Lhota is a 14th century château in south Bohemia, Czech Republic. It stands at the middle of a lake on a rocky island. 

@bkeske Vaughan Williams photo MIA.

Unapologetic copying of what you're doing 🙂 except I'm copying the live image URL from Discogs so no hosting needed. 

Jane Morgan With The Troubadors – All The Way (London 1958 mono)

Simply magic.

Hi Jim!

Jane Morgan With The Troubadors – Fascination (Kapp 1957 mono)

How can a 65 year old record sound better than current ones?

Schubert - The Fine Arts Quartet And Members Of The New York Woodwind Quintet With Harold Siegel - Octet In F Major, Opus 166 For Strings And Winds ( Concert Disk 1961)

Brooke Waggoner – Originator (Swoon Moon Music 2013)

Buddy Tate / Humphrey Lyttelton – Kansas City Woman (Black Lion 1975)

Loudon Wainwright III – Unrequited (Columbia 1975)

A few from earlier:
Jay McShann Featuring Claude Williams ‎– The Man From Muskogee (Sackville Recordings 1973)

Wonderful album. Jazz blues with violin.
Peter Ludwig / Peter Wöpke / Arben Spahiu ‎– Café Banlieue (Farao Studios 2006)

Sublime. Recommended.
@mammoth Re the Van Der Graff... I think you'll have to make your own judgement!
@tomic601 Thank you muchly for the care package! I love these surprises in the mail. I'll report back later. Having a night off.
@slaw Trying out the Noteworthy against my trusty low-rent Belkin AV20302-06 ICs. They’re inexpensive but transparent, fast, and do not roll off the highs. The Noteworthy’s have more musicality and deeper (huge) soundstage, more color, a reduction of a little glare, with a very slight loss of absolute air. Have to admit, I’ve not let them break in as much as they need as I haven’t been running system 2 that much. (The ICs are too short to reach the monoblocs on system 1.)
Pollution - S/T (Prophesy 1971)

@tomic601 Interesting. It's not something I'd buy. However, I like it. It's almost like Janis met Jesus. Gospel jazz funk! Recording is a tiny little bit tight and dry. NM and clean. Nice.

Little Charlie And The Nightcats ‎– Disturbing The Peace (Alligator 1988)

Great album. Many thanks. Much appreciate your kindness.
Maxine Sullivan With Ted Easton's Jazzband ‎– Maxine (Audiophile 1982)

Magic.
John Klemmer ‎– Touch (ABC 1975)

Average soft jazz. Not great. Fine for background reading.
Sting ‎– The Dream Of The Blue Turtles (A&M 1985)

This album sounds better with every system improvement. I recollect it being bright and garish. Tonight, it sounds great. 
Various ‎– The Sound Of Music, Original Broadway Cast (Columbia Masterworks 1959 mono)

Interesting. They seem a little further back than the last time I played this.
