Sandra King — Accompanied By Pat Smythe In A Concert Of Vernon Duke (Audiophile 1985)
Some lovely piano accompaniment to her sultry vocals. |
@big_greg Billie and her brother are pretty talented on that album. But he did mix that bass too hot. Next album is fixed. Never heard of Lorde. Streamed a few on YouTube. Not for me. ;-) |

I’m not a big fan of vibes as they tend to take over the piece but these guys reign it in and record the instrument beautifully. Shame the mix has too much stereo separation. Live and interesting sounding album.

@spiritofradio Spiral Architect One of my favorites when we were young. Such gravitas! |
Jim, Trying a few different pairs of Teles and my reference Grant Fidelity/Psvane 12AX7LS black. Not from any dissatisfaction with the 7058s, but it's what we gotta do, ain't it? 😀
Verdict soon...
|
The Dave Brubeck Quartet – Time Out (Columbia 1959 mono)
|
@tomic601 Happy 60th Birthday, Jim! |
So it’s looking like the newer pair of Telefunkens is taking the trophy. They’re so freakin’ clean and see-through. The Psvanes are new and in the stash so need burning. Older Teles were not good— too thin. The 7058s have a great sound— very full and lush with driving bass but they don’t have the airy highs and transparency of the Germans. *phono stage only
Jenny Warnes - FBR another great rolling tester. |
Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds – Murder Ballads (Mute 1996)
What an album. A masterpiece. |
@tomic601 Jim, it's not that it doesn't have merit in its own right, it's just that when I put on the CSNY live album, I realized how much better it sounded compared to the darker BAS album. I do have a thing about smooth verses detailed and these albums seem to epitomize that.

Day roadtrip and will be playing it in the car. |
Alone at The Alexandra Palace? @sbank On CD only. Waiting for the DVD to be released. Any idea when? |
Back from road trip. Warmed up everything and ended up watching TV. Went down to turn it all off. Can't waste a warmup!
