@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 |
"88 Basie Street" is awesome! I love this type of music and I lucked up on a sealed copy recently, (I had to pay up for it). Worth every penny. Exceptional in every way. Very close in SQ to the D2D Harry James. |
Leonard Cohen "You Want it Darker" Woah!!! Haven’t listened to this lp in over a year and man, does it get better with system improvements..... |
Mark Kozelek & Jimmy Lavalle "Perils From the Sea"
my last one for 24 hours |
The above set is so spectacular! |
Johnathan Wilson "Rare Birds" EX SQ |
Blood Sweat & Tears "MFSL" UD1S
|
Up next,
Rory Gallagher "Against the Grain" promo/ "Blueprint" WLP |
@ tedag,
Interesting that you mentioned Rory Gallagher, I just got in a sealed WLP copy of "Blueprint".
......................................................................................
Gonna finish up "Perils From the Sea". |
Based upon listening to just one side of "Stay Around", it strikes me as still yet fully formed. It just doesn't have the ultimate Cale SQ, structure, & vibe I'm use to hearing. |
