I am streaming World on the Ground - digging it |
Caroline Spence rocks !!!!! Reminds me of Patty G |
Dead - American Beauty ( 45 rpm MoFi ) just spectacular
|
Herbie Hancock - River: The Joni Letters
pure genius, IMO... on many dimensions, homage included... |
@spirit I love Jonatha ( & the story )
reserving judgement on Amber till such time as I can hear it on good set of cans in Seattle
i keep moving the listening chair forward (3’ so far ) to fix issues, which cause other issues, but some things - percussion in particular is stellar - so for now a frustrating but hyper good reference for some things :-)))))
|
@spirit no worries I love figuring out microphones and placement and trying to correlate to what I am hearing:-) and the Amber was done with microphones and head I am not familiar with :-) this is fun
headed out to see my friend Richard Vandersteen introduction of his new speaker at Stereo Unlimited in San Diego

War Dept eying completely full NEW 350 capacity record rack says: “ what is your long term vision for vinyl here at the condo ?”....
as an economist, my urge was to quote another economist and say: “ in the long run, we are all dead”....
but
” discretion is the better part of valor....
thankfully, the phone rang.... |
Plan B will be: “ what about Slaw and Uberwaltz, but that sounds like a vegan Resturant with dancing.... maybe German beer |
Massive yet intricate piano image, lovely deft touch... phrasing |
The Police - Zenyatta Mondata ( Dutch pressing )
when this was released I had a pair of Infinity Qb with the 10”
Watkins woofer in a transmission line cabinet and the Phillips Mid in the plastic cup ( factory ) and mdf head with EMIT on a bracket on top.... Frankenstein but sounded great - in a dorm room |
More Gillian Welch - Soul Journey |
@uberwaltz - yes somewhat fluent in Friday Hbr over the years w have spent considerable quality time in San Juan’s. Deer Harbor on Orcas has been our go to place for 35 years.

my wife always says “ don’t jinx it “ so after the first track of this half spreed Abby Road studio remaster unfolded pristine, I instantly jinxed it... terrible pressing with a skip.. wow, going back as this was new from hyper reputable big seller on Discogs ) |
@reubent i hope that one’s a keeper, I always enjoyed playing that
|
Macy Gray - Stripped ( Chesky LP389 )

@reubent i always said “ if I could predict the future with any certainty, I would have been retired at thirty sitting on a beach with a drink with money raining on me “....
Abacab is a great garage rocker tape for me and presages the Phil Collins era, traditional Genesis fans eschew... I grew up w Abacab and while certainly not my fave I do enjoy a sporadic play ;-)
