Got these in today....gonna try and listen to them tonight.
Bonnie Raitt "Dig In Deep" dbl lp/45rpm
Courtney Barnett "The Double EP/ A Sea of Split Peas"
Bob Dylan "John Wesley Harding" MFSL/mono/45rpm
|
Gonna listen to "John Wesley Harding" from the mono box first. |
The Dylan Original Mono Recordings box is a must have IMO. It’s consistent and well recorded. There’s a consistent theme running through every lp and that is how natural the music is forthcoming. Great mid-bass/ bass. It is the essence of analog.
The MFSL/45rpm/mono version builds on that great foundation. It doesn’t over-hype anything. There is just an increase in dynamic range and resolution. I could easily live with either version. I’ll gladly live with both. BTW, first time ever hearing a mono lp @ 45rpm. Wonderful!
|
@6t5-gto,
I have the Impex "Red Headed Stranger" as well. It will sure show any misalignment issues in a hurry. A great lp!
|
Thanks for the update Jim. |
@reubent ,
I'm light on Willie's output, thanks for the heads up.
|
@big_greg,
If it makes you feel any better, I'm sure Ozzy feels much older than you. |
Thanks for that link @uberwaltz, it's odd in talking with my next door neighbors, they didn't feel anything. |
@reubent
"Western Stars" caught me eye when it was first released. I have quite a few lps on my list now. What are you're impressions?
|
Buddy & Julie Miller "Breakdown on 20th Ave. South"
My copy was pressed slightly off-center.
|
@boxer12,
You should really hear these latest re-masters. They may make you change your mind? |
James Taylor "October Road"
I sometimes have trouble thinking of the first lp to play on the weekends. I read in a thread by @xanthus, he mentioned JT. Since I hadn’t thought about JT in a while, I thought I’d thank him helping me with that. |
The last record from this box is the Live lp from The Record Plant.
I find it to be special! |
Rush "All The World’s A Stage" OP/Masterdisk
This was a gift. My first time ever listening to it. The performance is very good, the SQ is not the best. It does wet my apatite for one of their studio lps though. Maybe "2112" later tonight?
............………...…...…......……….
Gonna finish the Courtney Barnett dbl EP. It had to be flattened and I ran out of time last weekend.
|
Even though the dbl EP was Courtney's first output, and it's recorded hot by comparison to most lps, I think it's her best sounding. Maybe the 45rpm EP from RSD? |
Hey @noromance,
So, let me have it! What are your impressions? I can take it.
|
Rush "Permanent Waves" MFSL |
+1 @markcdaniel
………...….........……...…….
BTW, the James Taylor lp MOV/ SQ = EX!
…............….........……...…...
In a few....Neko Case "Hell On"...I remember being impressed with the song writing last year and unimpressed with the SQ. It will be interesting to hear if after my latest US cleaning method and system changes will make a difference.
|
Sonny Boy Williamson "Keep It To Ourselves" AP |
|
Nothing has really changed from my initial thoughts about Neko's songwriting skills. Where she comes up with those lyrics and then makes them work, is a mystery. The sonics are better and much more enjoyable.
…...…………...…………...………........
Bonnie Raitt "Slipstream" is next.
|
from "All The World's A Stage" sides 2 & 3...needed two rounds of flattening.
This is an OP, easy to tell because of one lp is sides 1 & 4 the other is sides 2 & 3"
|
Sufjan Stevens "Illinoise" |
Ben Sollee "Learning To Bend" |
Gonna crack open the RSD Pink Floyd "A Saucerful of Secrets" /mono/RSD.
watch out!
|
re-listened to "Slipstream"
…………………………………...
"Love Over Gold" from the Studio Albums Box Set
|
We have assumed control...we have assumed control.... |
The Last Shadow Puppets "The Age of the Understatement" |
|
The above lp = SQ is off the charts!
..................................................
re-listening to PF "Saucerful Of Secrets" RSD/Mono/SQ = EX+! |
Alex Chilton "Bach's Bottom" OP/a great lp for fans |
|
|
@730waters,
Can you expand on the Montrose? |
Thin Lizzy "Live & Dangerous" |
This Eagles pressing sounds fantastic! |
Eagles "Live"/1980/SQ = EX! |
Bill Callahan "Shepard in a Sheepskin Vest" |
Shovels & Rope "Little Seeds" |
Harry Nilsson "Duit On Mon Dei" OP/RCA
Bruce Springsteen "The River" 1980/barcode |
The SQ on "Duit On Mon Dei" is exceptional! |
The Duelund cable does everything right, no over-exaggeration. Pretty, perfect! |
The last three John Prine lps and the new Shelby Lynne scheduled to finally arrive tomorrow! |
Falling for the Duelund phono cable, big time! |
@bkeske,
That particular Eels lp, sounds wonderful/glorious! |
Count Basie & His Orchestra "88 Basie Street" Pablo/1983/OP/Mint |
Of Monsters & Men "Beneath the Skin" .....love this band! Got their latest on order. |
"All For You" isn't as extended as her 45rpm lps, but boy, does it sound gooooood.
Had to flatten the Basie lp, so that will be later. |
ELO "Out of the Blue" US pressing/no barcode
Just got in a 6 pack Vicoustic Multifuser DC-2 diffusion panels. This was the last thing to try in my overall plan. (My room already sounds really good). I always wanted to try these on the ceiling and have been waiting on a deal. Right now I’m trying them at different places to hear their effects. I placed one on top of the "Aperature" on my back wall and the increase in vocal intelligibility and an overall sense of rightness is apparent. |
Dianna Krall "All For You" ORG/dbl lp/33rpm |
