Well the two Dixie Dregs LP have arrived of Dregs of The Earth, both advertised as NM one the OP, one a Nautilus..... the winner ? Slightly better bass, extreme treble definition and a hint more depth ( admittedly on a very electronic studio multi track effort ) but a muddier midrange and much lower pressing quality on the Nautilus....
so a slight nod to the OP :-)
your mileage may vary |
All good Steve !!! Thanks for kind offer, the OP I got is drop dead quiet :-)
headed out to catch Star Wars
|
Uber wishing max healing upon ya brother !!! |

I am fluent in sentimental |
I got Testimony, but it’s in line behind Harry Olson, Margaret Atwood, and Mary Austin in the queue.... I am a slow reader, especially if differential equations are involved
i always appreciate The far ranging conversation and musical tastes here, and the expertise. |
Even tho I am retired and perhaps unemployable, I think taking the fifth re recreation substance would be wise.
I can say, I was not a big fan of the Dead, until I was..... |
Playing the MFSL - The Band - Brown - with new insights and curiosity compliments @bdp24 and @slaw
my brother has my OP, which is in reality probably a club version circa 1976 ?
staring at the gatefold photo of the “ studio “, not many microphones, mixer setup, tiny drum kit w variable configuration, place is trashed, love engineers shoes on the board - contrast this space of genius with most audiophile sterile dedicated room... ha
|
Bk - the band I mixed Sound for loved Mink and covered four or so songs.... ya man |
I finally got around to posting a picture of the PratherMade record cabinet in virtual systems ( Casa Pacifica)
a short review: sturdy and attractive w clean modernist lines and a matte oil finish on a decent grade of Cherry. Butt joints and nothing fancy but solid workspersonship. 8 week lead time, decent packing it arrived Ohio to California without damage
the feet attach with crappy screws, I will put T nuts in some day,,,, all in all good :-)

Feat - Sailing Shoes ( OP )
War Dept did not appreciate Zeppelin cranked up.... note to self |
