Actually @nkphoto,
It was @uberwaltz that first posted tonight about The Strawbs. I just like seeing the right people getting their due.
Glad to have posting here. |
@spiritofradio,
You, at least moved farthest? away from your past as humanly possible?
|
Frankly, my system has never sounded better than since the introduction of the Hydra 8. |
@tomic601 ,
It’ll be on after I finish the SE records. It is now flat. BTW, "Terraplane" rocks!!! |
I decided to hook up the Hydra 8 initially straight to the wall then plug my (6) into the (8) driving all of my front end.
For the first hour, I could say things were slightly dulled yet still musical. After 4 hours now, the soundstage is becoming more full, natural and even more enjoyable.
This is my initial trial. So far so great! |
Rolling Stones "Some Girls" OP |
Finished "Still". Not sure why Jeff and Richard chose to work together other than maybe mutual admiration, but it's the standard, great RT record.
........................................
Glen Hansard "Between Two Shores" again. My pressing has this irritating scratchy noise on the last track of side two that I never took the time to address. Decided to today. Deep steam clean then long US clean. My feeling is it's the vinyl and not something that can be cleaned. Well, it's up next. Great album though! |
@spiritofradio,
I looked up the definition of paradiddle.
I learned something today! Thank you, now it’s up to me to retain it.
You were a Wall Streeter? Never would have known it brother. |
Re-listening..... Son Kil Moon "Ghosts of the Great Highway" |
@spiritofradio,
Was that you’re confession?
I'm giving you a hard time. You're still my brother. |
BTW, I set the Hydra 8 on a Symposium Ultra just the right size I bought over a year ago in preparation. |
CCR "Mardi Gras". AcousTech |
Sly & The Family Stone "Fresh" |
@boxer12,
He is an interesting artist. Although I've kept my eye out for him, the only lp I own is "Hair". I've enjoyed it every time I've played it.
|
Rodrigo y Gabliela "S/T" MOV |
Hope Sandoval & the Warm Inventions "Until The Hunter" |
This lp cover has been staring at me for a week.. (""Not that there's anything wrong with that""
I decided it would be my last lp played today. Porcupine Tree "Lightbulb Sun"
Not bad...not bad at all...……...
|
Steve Earle "Ghosts of West Virginia"
Interesting, this record is in mono. I ( a buyer doesn’t know it until they see the record label).
I don't have a problem with mono, a buyer should know what they're getting before the purchase. |
In this week...........
Joni Mitchell "Live @ Canterbury House - 1967" triple lp/BG mastered
Charles Lloyd Quartet "Love-In" '67/sealed/pp/Atlantic
Laura Veirs "Troubled By the Fire" first time on vinyl |
"In The Dark" is a fantastic sounding record Uber. |
Eyelids "The Accidental Falls" |
I have two of the later Omega + PPT mats in my breaker box. |
Europe '72 is a wonderful sounding lp! |
Dead "Europe '72". My PP, a little beat up, still enjoyable.
|
I see you were F..ing with me.
|
BTW, want a great pressing of the Stones....get this record. |
Ryan Bingham "American Love Song" |
Gramma's Boyfriend "Perm" |
@bdp24 ,
Ever heard of Trigger Hippy? Lots of Joan Osborne....... |
Valley Maker "When I Was a Child" |
@tomic601,
How's the new platform working?
|
|
Trigger Hippy "S/T" side one....side 2 is being flattened |
@uberwaltz,
I assume your mono setup is going. What do you think? |
Uber,
That’s the one I bought, unless they got another in. I’m going to take a quick look.
No, that is the next version of the one I own.
I've owned my Hydra 4 & 6 for years. They are fantastic IMO. Like I mentioned earlier, I'm running all of my front end components through my 6 to the 8 right now. Plus I have an Akiko Triple AC Enhancer into the 6.
The 8 in my current scenario is wonderful. The main attributes so far are a full, and more complete soundstage. Everything just sounds right. No drawbacks at all.

@uberwaltz,
I think I misread your inquiry.
I'm a fan of passive AC conditioners. There are many popular products out there and are well regarded that use transformers. Products like the Niagra..... have you looked inside of one? All of the circuit boards/transformers.... then read user's comments regarding the noise they put up with after spending thousands. No way bro.
I've had several products in house that use earth minerals, man made crystals that absorb EMI/RFI that work very well with nothing to cause noise or break down.
This is where my $ will go. |
Gov't Mule "Stoned Side of the Mule" |
Live stream tonight, Lyle & John @ 9edt |
A Perfect Circle "Mer de Noms" |
@uberwaltz,
What you have there my friend is a white label promo (WLP). These are prized and bring more money. They were the first run, labeled white to send to radio stations for promotion.
As about an original pressing as one can get!
|
Thought you are retired buddy? |
I think we have a Dead afficianotto here. Very pleased. |
@boxer12,
The Acoustic Revive are all passive..right? |
Now you're the seasoned listener. |
Common’ Uber
I love reading Eric’s posts. Don’t stop @bdp24 .
Frankly, I feel we are fortunate to have him here. |
@uberwaltz,
The Hydra 8 made such profound difference in my system, that I made An offer on the V Ray. |
|
Lucinda Williams " Good Souls Better Angels". |
A rarity.....King's Daughters & Sons "If Then Not When"
Expertly cleaned. |
