Robin Trower/Jack Bruce "Truce" ..after a US cleaning and flattening. |
Death Cab for Cutie "Codes & Keys" |
Nice to have some company at this later hour @big_greg |
Blood, Sweat & Tears "Child is Father to the Man" Sundazed/stereo/SQ =EX |
The Butterfield Blues Band "The Resurrection of Pigboy Crabshaw" (stereo)
This was a gift from a neighbor, although it looks very rough, it doesn't play that bad. What's obvious is what a great record this is, great sounding too.
|

Richard Thompson "Electric" |

Ten Years After "S/T" Sundazed/Mono/SQ = EX |
..what a great record!...even better than "Pigboy". IMO |
@tomic601,
Nice to have you back.
|
Thanks for the post Tom. It's very gratifying knowing the MyMat has benefitted so many. |
@bkeske,
I like to say, the music is becomes "free" with the MyMat and no clamp/weight.
I noticed the same with the Achromat as well. I believe a reviewer for TNT Audio wrote something similar? |
Andrew Bird "The Mysterious Production of Eggs" |
My impressions so far: I'm listening in order of release......
"Armchair..." doesn’t hold up as well, additionally, the SQ is dark by comparison.
Up next will be "Noble Beast" going forward......
|
I never finished Richard Thompson "Electric" last weekend, I listened to sides 1 & 2 earlier. I've US cleaned all four sides and will start over. Several system iterations ago, I was really disappointed in this lp. While not perfect, It's way more enjoyable now.
I'm US cleaning all of my Andrew Bird lps and will be listening to them later.
"The Mysterious Production of Eggs" (again)
"Armchair Apocrypha"
"Noble Beast"
"Break it for Yourself"
"Are You Serious"
|
Well, "Noble Beast" is of really good SQ, (IMO), it just doesn’t hold up to my past memory of it.
Maybe seeing AB live, which is why I'm doing this comparison, in part because I have a chance to see him tomorrow, would change my perception?
|
On "Are You Serious", AB made a much needed shift from his previous records. This one is more in tune with the current musical landscape. SQ is VERY good. |
"Break It Yourself" has a wonderful balance and easily outclasses the previous lps in terms of SQ. "Eggs" would be next. I'm getting into this one! |
@reubent ,
Tonight has been an eye-opener for me. I had held it in higher regard previously.
Pete Townshend "White City"....freshly US cleaned.
|
John Lennon "Rock & Roll"
Listening to this really brings forward John's roots!
|
|
Van Morrison "Tupelo Honey" pp |
@6t5-gto,
It's very tempting...I guess I' had made up my mind earlier. Especially since I'm having so many reservations?
Ryan Bingham "Fear & Saturday Night"
|
Ryan Adams "S/T" 2014/PAX-AM/SQ = EX |
@6t5-gto,
Thanks for your input on the AB show. I think my deciding factor was I really don't want to make the trip. I do think seeing him live would be fantastic. I still plan on buying his later works.
Does this make me a fan in any way?
|
The Grateful Dead "Europe 72'"../OP/out of 3 boxes of vinyl from brother.
Ice-cream cone to the forehead. #BANG# |
The RB lp’ SQ = EX. The pressing has some "wooshing" in the quiet passages. Gonna put it through another US cleaning.
…………………………………………………...
Valley Maker "When I Was a Child" SQ = EX
|
Dave Rawlings Machine "Nashville Obsolete" ….another great one from Acony Records |
