@slaw Not the new one, I got 1,000 Kisses a while back on vinyl for the first time (that album I consider one of the best albums of the last 25 years) but I had not picked up her newest record. It is excellent and maybe her best sonically.
|
Patty Griffin - S/T from 2019 - holy schitt, this record is excellent. I don't know how/why I waited so long to get it. Sonically it is BRILLIANT! and may be her best record since 1,000 Kisses |
Stanley Turintine - Hustlin' - Blue Note Tone Poet - very very good
Herbie Hancock - Headhunters - Analogue Productions 200g 33rpm - damn, just damn, what an incredible sounding record |
Aretha Franklin - Aretha's Gold - MFSL 45rpm, awesomeness |
Fleetwood Mac - Rumors - Analogue Productions 200g 45rpm, stellar |
Howdy folks,
Nirvana - Unplugged (extended version with 2 LPs), SQ is VG+, vinyl excellent
@boxer12 - between Modest Mouse and Radiohead, I think we would get along well, I need to check out more of your spins I am not so familiar |
Miles Davis - In a Silent Way - Mofi |
Bill Evans - Sunday at the Village Vanguard - Analogue Productions 200g 45rpm |
Welcome Clevinsoh,
Depeche Mode - Violator - reissue |
Stone Temple Pilots - Core - loud - very loud |
Charles Mingus - Presents Charles Mingus - Candid records all analog production - SQ EX vinyl - good |
|
+1 on the Police @big_greg
|
@slaw ha, that could be a good way to describe you as well, my friend! I am all over the place.
Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks - Mofi One Step - incredible
|
|
Neil Young - Live at the Cellar Door - from Archives - holy smokes what a great sounding record! |
@slaw love that Aretha's Gold, I think I could listen to that record every day
Cannonball Adderley - Somethin Else - Classic reissue 33rpm 200gram. Excellent in every aspect but wish it was mono |
Thanks, @tomic601
What was also cool was my father put in large Altec PA systems like the Astrodome and the Superdome and had a shop with a pretty good demo set up with some Voice of the Theater arrays and I could wail away after hours. Epic |
Rush - Permanent Waves - I remember specifically having my money saved up and my father taking me up to a record store to buy this album the day it was released. I still love it |
Rush - Moving Pictures -
I am so gutted, grew up on these guys. |
@boxer12 the Cash is the only one I have from that label so wasn't sure if I just got lucky or if that is how everything was from them
The Doors - An American Prayer - reissue - really great |
@boxer12- I have a Johnny Cash (Sun Singles) from Sundazed that is AWESOME, super high quality everything |
@big_greg +1 for the Cars - Heartbeat City is the only one I don't have on vinyl , that makes me want to pick it up
Dandy Warhols - Come Down - today purchase, first time ever on vinyl, the vinyl quality is EX and the SQ is better than expected, phenomenal album |
Yes - Fragile - Mofi One Step - incredible, one of the best so far - amazing
Kenny Burrell - Introducing Kenny Burrell - Tone Poet series - VVG
Grant Green - Born to be Blue - Tone Poet series - EX, almost dead quiet vinyl, EX SQ |
Patsy Cline - Greatest Hits - AP 200g 33rpm |
@boxer12
I remember when that album came out and they played SNL. One of the more awesome 2 song sets on SNL.
Dwight Yoakam - Come on Christmas - this is a fun album ,sound is very good
|
Joe Henderson - State of Tenor - Live at the Village Vanguard vol II - awesome
Bill Evans - Sunday at the Village Vanguard - AP 200g 45rpm - perfect
Miles Davis - My Funny Valentine - Mofi - EX+
Jerry Lee Lewis - She Even Woke Me up to Say Goodbye - great record - all 3 of my copies has groove noise :(
Rolling Stones - Some Girls |
Dwight Yoakam - Come On Christmas - surprisingly good - did it for my wife but enjoyed it
|
Joe Henderson - The State of Tenor - Live at Village Vanguard Vol II - Blue Note Tone Poet series- this may be my new gold standard record for perfectly recorded and produced live Jazz. It is AWESOME! the upright bass (and every instrument) is impeccably mic-ed, the soundstage is front row seat in your listening room. Very very quiet vinyl, SQ EX ++++, the low end is KILLER! So glad my local record shop guru turned me onto this one.
|
Neil Young - Live Rust - O/P
Fleetwood Mac - Tusk O/P
Peter Gabriel - 2nd Solo Album 'Scratch' 45rpm 2xLP |
All reissues should sound this fantastic |
@big_greg I guess I will bite the bullet and pick at least one of them up to give it the old college try
Johnny Cash - Original Sun Singles '55-'58 - Sundazed reissue - Excellent! Extremely quiet vinyl, SQ EX +, 3D imaging |
@big_greg I take it that MFSL of DS Comunique is the recent reissue? How is it? I want all of them but I think I have 3 or 4 copies of each of DS's albums (mostly original pressings in mediocre condition) and I keep wondering if the new Mofis are good enough to justify the investment? |
@slaw I knew you meant Fair Warning, and I agree, IMO Fair Warning is by far and away is VH's best album. Exponentially their best.
Modest Mouse - Lonesome Crowded West - exponentially MM's best album as well but I remember every time I put on the 2xLP reissue copy I have of this phenomenal album what a schitt mastering and pressing it is. |
@slaw I definitely wish I had more of it, I find it to be consistently excellent. I am definitely a big fan
You must have gotten an early start, you have spun a bunch of great records already today!
Art Blakey and his Jazz Messengers - Drum Suite - Impex Records - SQ EX+ , Perf EX, vinyl not as quiet as my other Impex records |
Phil Woods Quartet - Woodlore - Analogue Productions 200g 33rpm - very very good, SQ- EX, vinyl - EX, performance B+ |
Rolling Stones - Let it Bleed - 50th anniversary reissue Bob Ludwig remaster. SQ Very good, not awesome, better remastering than Beggars Banquet, pretty quiet vinyl |
@boxer12 I love the run of Radiohead - my fav band
Willie Nelson - Live from Austin, TX - this record is AWESOME! The performance is from Austin City Limits in 1990, the SQ is EX++, the vinyl is extremely quiet, the performance is EX! I have a Dwight from this series that is not nearly as good. Can't recommend this one more |
Bill Evans - Live at the Top of the Gate - another Black Friday RSD item, excellent, SQ EX, vinyl dead quiet, very good performance
Miles Davis - Live in Tokyo - RSD purchase as well, SQ EX, performance EX, vinyl a bit noisy even after a couple of runs thru the VPI cleaner |
@slaw sorry to hear it, Sir. That sounds like no fun at all. Hope some records can help you feel better quickly. Take care of yourself.
Thad Jones/Mel Lewis - All my Yesterdays - from Record Store Days release- live at VV - only one disc in but this thing is amazing. You feel like you are at the front table of the club. Incredible master job |
@reubent yes, I think the Kappa 9s have been known to drop below 1ohm and nuke some amps but I have much faith in my McIntosh gear
Horace Silver - Song for my Father - Music Matters SRX - simply stunning, the details and sound stage on this pressing are just jaw dropping
Bill Evans - Sunday at the Village Vanguard - 45rpm 200g Analogue Productions - perfect |
@reubent I have been looking at vintage Infinitys lately. A really pristine pair of Kappa 9s came up on CL not far from me at a good price and I was super tempted but they moved before I could pull the trigger. I would love to hear them and a pair of Betas again, it has been many years since I have
Radiohead - In Rainbows |
@reubent
Love when a choice work out right from the start.
Which Infinitys did the 3As replace? |
@reubent I love how you went to one of your tried and true records to test the new speakers!
How are you digging your acquisition? |
@@boxer12
Thank you, sir. Not nearly enough listening time lately so I have to make it count
This morning, Jamie Saft Quartet, Blue Dream, there are some stellar moments on this record
|
Slim Harpo - The Original King Bee - Analogue Productions 200g 33rpm - awesome in every way |
