@big_greg,
Is your's the Chris Bellman remaster? |
@boxer12,
Regarding your bearing material, I assume you liked the hard coating over the softer metal....the hard coating for dealing with wear and the softer metal for dealing with damping resonances?

Them "The "Angry" Young Them" Sony/Legacy/mono. Whoa! The music jumps out of the speakers!
Neko Case "Hell On"

Eagles "Hotel California" DCC

@6t5-gto,
Regarding Yo La Tengo, I played "Electr-O-Pura" last week and it really sounded very good. Putting on "Painful" now.
|
@boxer12,
Regarding the use of carbon fiber and balsa....Richard Vandersteen used a mix of those two materials in the driver cones in his (7) speaker. I’m going by memory but believe I’m correct. He is an avid pilot so his use of balsa makes sense from that aspect...light and stiff.

Feist "Metals" Excellent! |
@n80,
Hi. Here’s the long version.... I own two copies of "Middle Cyclone". One is black vinyl & the other is clear vinyl, The clear is slightly more open. Compared to "Fox Confessor....", I think "MC" is not quite as open. "FC" has tons of air. They both are great lps in terms of content. "Hell On" is IMO, much better than her last, "The Worse Things Get...", in fact I’d say it may be her (best) for content? SQ is very good although somewhat inconsistent. One’s set-up/room will be critical to hear "HO" at it’s best. If you haven't already, check out the Case,Lang,Veirs lp.
…………………………………………………..
Thea Gilmore "The Counterweight" 45rpm Excellent!
|
Melissa Etheridge "Breakdown"
Joss Stone "LP1"
|
I hadn’t listened to Joss Stone in a while but she can sound eerily similar to a young Bettye LaVette.

Atlanta Rhythm Section "Champaign Jam" MFSL!
"Wade In The Water" recorded by many, .Eva Cassidy
|
|
Johnny & Edgar Winter "Together"
Buffalo Springfield "Again" mono/box set
The SQ on this Buffalo Springfield Box, IMO is excellent. I haven't heard the entire box, just the monos of 1&2.
|
@boxer12,
I made the decision earlier that I’d pull another all-nighter. Hopefully, we’ll find some common ground my friend? You should check out Pinback. All of their lps are close to (10). On top of that, they are rockin'.
Putting on The Outlaws right now!

The Edgar Winter Group "They Only Come Out at Night"
|
@boxer12,
I assume your music posts are lps, right? I’m wondering where you find these (off the tracks) lps?
……………………………..
I bought a copy of Buffalo Springfield "Again" around 3 years ago that was marked as a 1st pressing. It was/is one of THE worst sounding lps I now own. It has a solid yellow ATCO label. Of course, now I know it should have had the tri-colored label.
|
BTW, How's the cart settling in?
My Stillpoints Aperature (nailed it) in my system!
|
Hey dude, I'm putting on Kansas "Audio Visons". It's not my all time favorite but it totally rocks! ""Leftoverture" is my favorite by them. |
Well...I was wondering and hoping ya'll would eventually chime in. |
Hey, I own that lp.
Gonna complete The Outlaws....then Kansas.
|
Death Cab For Cutie "Thank You For Today" |
@reubent,
Interesting!
I’ve hailed "In Between Dreams" as a Sleeper for years. You mentioned "Brushfire Fantasies". It should be "Brushfire Fairytales"
|
Alan Parsons "I Robot" MFSL |
OK?
Chicago "Transit Authority" MFSL
|
Noah Gundersen "White Noise" |
|
@boxer12,
Let us know how the show was! (BTW, I highly recommend the Synergistic Blue outlet!) It's rare that a product such as this can have such a profound positive effect.
……………………
Spoon "Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga"
………………………….
BTW, the aforementioned "GYBR" DJM pressing......since I find it so rare these days...this lp is actually pressed on center! WOW!
|
@boxer12,
Regarding the Graphene Contact Enhancer.. I have not tried it. If you’ve read that thread, I had some issues with the OP. Given that, right now, I’m not willing to take my system apart and apply a product.
…………………………
Giant Sand "Tucson"
………………………..
@reubent
Courtney rocks dude! BTW, she started her own record label... Milk
|
@reubent ,
No need to apologize brother. I really appreciate your input!
|
"In The Dark" is a heck of a lp! Superior pressing? Yes. |
@boxer12,
You know me too well my friend.
|
The xx "I See You"
The Beatles "A Hard Day’s Night" mono box
The Rosebuds "Loud Planes Fly Low"

@boxer12,
Your post of GD has me wondering... ":In The Dark" is a superior pressing.
Nice that we have great lps to listen to.
|
Elton John "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" (my DJM pressing) Fantastic! |
@boxer12,
Oddly enough, I may be just as excited about your (rack) as you are?
………………………..
I just realized how that may have come across...…. oops.
……………………….
The Velvet Underground "VU" promo
|
(FWIW, I'm still here, I've planned out my lps for the next couple hours.) |
@reubent ,
Another "all-nighter". The MUSIC, it's just so intoxicating! Cueing up The Rosebuds right now! If you haven't yet, check them out. Their story is kind of remarkable as well.
