First Aid Kit – Ruins (Columbia 2018)

How’s the SQ, is it a digital recording? One of my favorite albums on my server.
@sbank It’s pretty good. Not 1962 analog but it's Tucker Martine produced so clear, warm and dynamic with quiet vinyl.

Tom Paxton – New Songs For Old Friends (Reprise 1973)
|
Background music tonight but having a blast (for a lonely audiophile!) replacing 100 old dull outer plastic sleeves on some older records. I’m finding dull sleeves easily 35 years old. Also some glue repairs to a few split covers. Night and day difference in how they look. Best $36 spent in a while. Bought another 100.

Alice Cooper – Billion Dollar Babies (Warner Bros. 1973)

Just brought up the humidifier from the basement. It’s winter. Humidity down to 22% today.
Yup. I have to ground myself off the metal Lally column before touching the headshell lift. Otherwise...

Took day off to get some music in. Wish my bored, retired, leaf-obsessed neighbor on the leafblower would shut up.

@tomic601 I’ve removed scores of stickers from album covers with my very precise heat gun. Last night, a senior moment of neglect had me attack a pretty stubborn son of a b. With the record still inside. Needless to say, it’s bye-bye dimple time.. Out of annoyance and guilt, I bought a new copy.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
Grateful to be able to live this life with music, the wherewithal to enjoy it, the good food, family and friends.

Melody Gardot – My One And Only Thrill (Verve 2009)
When I first played when it was released, I didn’t like it at all and it sounded dull and flat. Second time was years later and it sounded a good bit better. Playing it now and it’s like a different album, both musically and SQ. Still a little peaky in the mid-bass. Quality of kit is so important.

@slaw Ha, I hoard. I might start dipping into the VGs in the closet!

@sbank I’m not sure what’s more amazing- that you got an average price of over $100 each, or that you could afford to part with so many collectibles!
I brought in a dozen collectibles and scored a $1250 credit.

Nothing’s on my turntable due to some ham fisted moron sending the tonearm flying across the LP
@emailists You are not alone. I know another idiot who destroyed a valuable Decca cartridge doing the same thing. Thankfully not recently.

@spiritofradio @tomic601 Interesting sub notes on the Quads. I used to have an older Strada lll sub on my ESL rig. Moved it around some but never really loved it. It's since burnt out and I use S3 on my second system to great effect. I've been tempted to add a pair of smaller T5x to the ESLs. Your comments tempt me to make a move. Was looking forward to a tax rebate but got stiffed big time with a bill.
