Bette Midler-Broken Blossom Side 2 Al Di Meola-Casino Side 1 Megadeth-The Sick.. The Dying...And The Dead! Side 3 Elton John-Tumbleweed Connection Side 2 Allison Moorer-Blood Side B Led Zeppelin-II Side 2 Dionne Warwick-Very Dionne Side A SQ Audiophile Pat Metheny Group-First Circle Side B SQ Audiophile Sunday evening power quality was not up to its usual standards. Might be related to a 36hr power outage in my area late last week. Very difficult to pick the worst SQ but was very disappointed in the noisy vinyl of my new/sealed Moorer LP when compared to a plethora of surface scratches on my yard sale find Zep 2 The latest Megadeth SQ was ok but nothing special. The content is solid but not up to the level of 2009's End Game. Metheny takes the SQ crown despite the very holographic sound of an excellent Warwick recording. |
@jdougs - I don't listen to much country music (I do listen to a lot of Americana), but I've also always really liked "Willie and Family Live". What a great performance, and it's unmistakably Willie. The "Red Headed Stranger Suite" is probably my favorite. |
@bslon Kind Of Blue AP 45rpm. Has the tape hiss of this recording been lowered or completely removed? |
@dayglow Hello Evan, some tape hiss is noticeable in between tracks, not so much when the music starts. The SQ greatly overshadows it. I can’t compare it to my noisy original. |
Ella and Louis Again (Mofi vinyl) never gets old Happier Than Ever By Billie Eilish (Darkroom/Interscope vinyl) Probably her best album. Also streamed Lowlife Princes By BiBi .. High Res available on Qobuz Bibi is a new Korean breakthrough artist. Fluent in English and talented composer, performer and pretty good dancer. Only YouTube and streaming. BIBI MAKES HISTORY WITH WORLDWIDE TOP 40 RADIOS IN THE US ”Weekend” is in English, but many better songs.. and no…I don’t listen to the radio… and I’m not Korean.. |
@vonhelmholtz Gave Bibi a quick VT listen it's the same regurgitated current dance/pop in a different wrapper. |
That’s a fair evaluation and can be said of much of the music posted here in the jazz, classical, or name the genre. I like this particular wrapper. I must admit that I listen to this genre of music more when I’m exercising vs sitting in my listening room. Of course, much of her material is her own, but subject to what is popular these days. This includes topical music and clearly sexualized presentation. In Korea, entertainment companies control their stars much like 1940’s Hollywood, but even to a greater degree. She started in 2019-2020 as COVID hit and is about to star in her first TV drama playing against one of Koreas top male leads, so she has been a fast rising star, but this happens going with what is popular. |
@vonhelmholtz Appreciate your mature response. Was not criticizing your choice of music since I am of fan of extreme metal which many here think its noise? They might be right since most extreme metal is poorly recorded. IMO Classical/Baroque Jazz and Classic Rock has a much wider range of diversion then current pop music. |
@jjbeason14 - My first RUSH show was the tour where they recorded the first live album - "All the World’s a Stage". Saw many after that, including their last tour. Still one of my favorite bands. |
Roy Clark-Family & Friends Side 2 Phil Collins-Face Value Side 1 SQ Audiophile Lamb Of God-Killadelphia Side 1 Lee Morgan-Caramba(Classic Repress) Side 1 Mary Travers-Circles Side 2 Grand Funk Railroad-E Pluribus Funk Side 1 Bucky & John Jr. Pizzarelli-2x7=Pizzarelli Side B Mozart-Concerto No.7(Yehudi Menuhin) Side 1 SQ Audiophile Mozart on Angel S 36240 takes the SQ win tonight. Several recordings had near miss Audiophile SQ... Pizzarelli/Travers/Clark and Morgan. Lamb had good SQ for an extreme metal live recording and GFR had very good bass quality. |
