@reubent ,
Nice haul! I was looking through the list and while there are a couple I'm unfamiliar with I think "Red Dirt Girl" will be a mild disappointment in SQ. I find it to be sterile.

@6t5-gt0,
I'm glad you were able to get the TP box. I think you've got a good ear my friend. In the end, I think you'll conclude that taken on it's entirety, you'd be able to recommend it to others.

Dire Straits "Communique’" My all time fav DS lp and one of my all time fav records. From the Studio box. |
@noromance ,
My thought was, if adjusting azimuth, sliding that o-ring up against the center, (where there is a countersink) would help keep one from affecting overhang. |
Neil Young "Chrome Dreams II" OP |
Dave Mason "Alone Together" MCA /Heavy Vinyl
A great record! I only do not play it as often as I should because it is mentioned so much here by one member. There were 2 or 3 or 4 lps in this series. This was the first to have an inner cardboard sleeve that "wrapped around the lp on three sides. If put into the out jacket correctly, there would be little chance of the lp arriving with it’s outer jacket split.
SQ=EX!
|
Zebra "S/T" pp/Atlantic/1983...a hidden gem |
|
The Son House lp is superb!
next...
Bonnie Raitt "Slipstream" |
It's so rare when Jenny Lewis is mentioned here that I felt a need to mention it. Yeah! |
Very initial impression, just from side one, "cohesive"... An adjective Uber described to me is very valid. This band just gels! I bet they actually enjoy one another! That comes through in their music. Love it! |
Thanks @simao
………………….
Tom Petty "Hypnotic Eye" /the 2lp/CB version.
Bought @ 60% off @ Insound.
!!!!!!!!!!
|
|
Lucky me.. I pulled out my best copy, on now! |
Robin Trower "Back it Up" '83/gold stamped promo/favorite of mine |
Wowsers, ...don’t know if it ever gets better....
Side 3 & 4.
No. |
Nick Waterhouse "IL2060" S/T/ 2019 |
Lynyrd Skynyrd "Second Helping" APO/45rpm/dbl,lp |
Magnolia Electric Co. "Fading Trails" Nice SQ
…………………………………………………..
I’ve been happy to see more (new) people posting here this year. (and on Audiogon in general there are noticeably more new posters)
It’s all about the music. Happy New Year to all!
|
Santana "?" I think it's their 3rd, the one with a human figure floating in outer-space. Yeah, that's the one. Great record, great sounding record. OP |
Neil Young, Crazy Horse & The Bullets "American Stars 'n Bars" from the box set. |
Lyle Lovett "My Baby Don't Tolerate" Lost Highway/dbl lp |
Joan Armatrading "Show Some Emotion" OP/Glyn Johns |
Neil Young "Prairie Wind" Classic/200gr....remarkable bass extension |
And @uberwaltz,
The "Full Circle" lp was flat. |
FWIW, we have until midnight to get 15% off vinyl from MD, code YES15. Since the demise of SSD, we'll likely never see the 20% off again. |
Ryan Adams & The Cardinals "Follow The Lights"
Outside of "Heartbreaker", "FTL" has been my favorite by RA in terms of quality of song writing, sound quality, & total involvement.
|
George Merrill used this lp in his demos at audio shows a while back. |
I’ve almost completed my Holland pressing of Simon & Garfunkel "BOTW". Well it has great points and some points that I’m sure the MOFI one step would be a significant improvement. I’m happy to report this pressing has a great soundstage and really nice air. Bass is not usually there. It is enjoyable. What I found interesting was, it is on CBS, where as my early S&G lps are on Columbia? Hum?
Turns out to be a nice lp to determine a center image or cartridge azimuth.
|
Leonard Cohen "You Want it Darker"
How did he know that?
|
I agree "two different bands". I'm gonna reserve my judgement between both for later. |
Yep, it seems more translucent than the early MFSL JVC vinyl.
|
Laura Veirs "The Lookout"
|
Father John Misty "I Love You, Honeybear" |
The two Brians, At least somebody’s paying attention. |
@drrsutliff ,
I have the UK Harvest of that one brother. |
The Mountain Goats "Dark in Here"
One of my top favorites of 2021
|
Now.. sides 3 & 4 of the now completely flattened TH "S/T" lps.
A worthwhile journey. |
Got in my big order of Steve Earle today. Gonna start chronologically backwards with later pressing first. Doubt if I listen to all today though.
"Washington Street Serenade"
Had no idea Allison Moorer was a staple on SE’s records.
|
|
|
Good post Jim regarding polarity. |
@tomic601 ,
That's very interesting. I always loved Shelby. Really never heard of Allison until the two came out with their lp a couple years ago. Always had a crush on Shelby. |
Loving "Washington Street Serenade"!
Jim, Tim emailed me, thanks! |
While waiting on "Townes" to clean....The Teskey Brothers "Half Mile Harvest"
Wow! "HMH" does sound so goood! |
Hi @uberwaltz,
I checked out your virtual system page earlier today...
The Devore speakers...love them!
Regarding the Nottingham...did you have or try the Wave Mechanic? I noticed you run a Walker. Could you elaborate?
|
@reubent ,
The liner noters included in "WSS"... Steve mentions he’d love for Allison to move to NYC with him. That's from 2007. |
@bkeske,
I felt a need to let you know, even though I'm not really into classical at the moment, I do realize you have a rock history. Anyway, you are such a welcome addition to our family. |
The "No Secrets" WLP is well worth seeking out! |
The Neil Young box is great but "RNS" is remarkable! |
