Rolling Stones "Let It Bleed" 2003/DSD/LP |
Listening to Travis again. |
@whostolethebatmobile,
Thanks for the info. I was wondering why I haven't heard of most of the labels you were posting. Did many of these bands ever release lps?
|
Dave Alvin "Eleven Eleven" |
Listening to Fruit Bats again. |
Tom Petty "Hypnotic Eye" the Chris Bellman/dbl lp/mastered version/found at Insound @ 60% off. |
Bill Frisell "Nashville" ROG/wonderful! |
The Jim Kweskin Jug Band "Garden of Joy" OP/gift from neighbor |
Robin Trower/Jack Bruce "Truce" |
Jackson Browne "Late For The Sky" a Carolina blue label...got to be a re-issue/sounds OK, the music makes up for the lacking SQ |
Jim Lauderdale "From Another World" |
Robin Trower "For Earth Below" |
Dave Alvin "King of California" anniversary lp |
M Ward "End of Amnesia" 45rpm
Great Sunday music. |
Glen Hansard "Didn't He Ramble" |
|
So my last of the lps, in the female vocal category is, one of the greatest female voices ever......
Annie Lennox "Nostalgia" |
Jim Croce "You Don’t Mess Around With Jim" WLP |
Doug Macleod "Break the Chain" Reference Recordings/45rpm |
Bill Callahan "Shepherd in a Sheepskin Vest" |
Blues Image "Something To Say" OP |
Dusty Springfield "Cameo" OP
………...……........
Yeah @uberwaltz, that was Cat Stevens "Buddha & the Chocolate Box", I loved it.
|
B B King "In London" black label ABC/1972 |
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.
|
Dan Auerbach "Keep It Hid" & "Waiting on a Song" |
Richard Thompson "Electric" |
Ray LaMontagne & The Pariah Dogs "God Willin' and the Creek Don't Rise" |
"Exile on Main Street" 1994/Bob Ludwig re-master |
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?
