|
Dave Grusin - Discovered Again - Perfect Vinyl Forever rescuced this from an overzealous grader….
|
JD Souther - Black Rose ( Perfect Vinyl Forever )….
|
Expose yourself to Art Tim !
Coleman Hawkins - and Conferes - AAP / Verve reissue on 45 rpm… i am blessed to have pressing #12…. It is startling in it’s immediacy and intimate sound…. my highest recommendation
|
The Three - Sample / Brown / Manne ( Direct to Disc )
|
Brian - i have the 45 rpm version of The Three headed my way from a reputable seller from …..Ukraine…. a first for me….
|
Brian - it appears the 45 rpm is cut from the protection tape copy, as perhaps the 1978 release ? My 33 1/3 is a 1976. Fun.
|
@karlbee just the new math of a direct to disc cut in 1975 and released in 1976, proved popular, they wore the stampers out….and….
Have you heard it ?
|
Rumor - Live from Lafayette
|
Crosby - If Only ( 50 th anniversary remaster ) So far…..wow… compared to my German pressing a complete layer of grunge has been removed, treble a bit more tipped, Lesh bass lines so much better articulated…nice…
|
The Little Willies - For the Good Times
@bslon I think you mentioned this…thx for the prompt
|
@pierce911 congrats on the new phono - that’s a keeper for sure !
|
Dead - American Beauty
@nicks25 congrats on the cartridge! For those seeking don’t underestimate a Grace F9 w new Soundsmith stylus / etc …
|
it is early yet ! Ran back thru the German pressing of Crosby - certainly the speed correction helps and would tend to tip things up a bit. Overall the new release is superior and i think casts new clarity and light on what i consider a masterwork…
|
Dead - Mars Hotel ( MoFi )
|
@nicks25 i see you have the F9 w better stylus. , i would be greatly interested in your thoughts after breaking in the Pickering
cool
|
always been a tube phono man… there is a worthy tee shirt in that one Brian…
Amanda McBroom - Midnite Matinee ( server ) I see AAP did an LP release…$
|
|
Roxy got same fixation…..
|
Bill that album in particular To Know Me is to Love Me has been an enduring reference for me over many years now… at least 40. ;-)) Sheffield did some amazing work…
|
The initial release is the coveted Direct to Disc, the Treasury series copy is from the protection copy master tape. I suggest serious listeners get a six pack or 8 pack of Thelma, Grusin, Harry James and Mayorga/McBroom. All great recordings, musicians and super important in discerning what the extra step of tape leaves on the table…
|
Running in a fabulous gift from a great friend, audiophile and importantly music lover @mr_m . Thanks so much for the Mullard Blackburns Tim ;-) Midrange magic abounds !
|
Thelma !
the store i worked at carried the Sheffield and Windham Hill discs. They were $30 in the Eighties. I had a few enlightened customers and found my way to Thelma and beyond on my way to building out what i called the poor mans HQD system.
Monk at Carnegie playing now
Spencer - We were a Signet dealer. They had high standards on setup tools, test records, microscope, training, etc. I greatly benefited from that. I skipped a step or three and went to a Dynavector Ruby..but the Signets were loved by many.
|
also the Treasury series are fantastic, i don’t look down on them…just educational
|
Joel what a great story - that would be a gr8 demo disc for the Apollo 12.999999 audition
|
|
Stoked…more NOS Mullards inbound…
Dead - Warfield 1980 ( RSD )
|
|
Joel - My first CES included the Drake…fond memories…. I bet you were busy !
