@firberger...I have that same copy and it is indeed very good. Did you get any of the Steely Dan UHQRs? I have them all and they are by far the best I've heard.
Steely Dan is my favorite band of all time! MAJOR FanBoy here!!!
|
@mofimadness The only SD UHQR I have is AJA . Was thinking of getting the Royal Scam .
Interesting enough I have AJA in a Mobile Fidelity Original Master recording as well Purchased from Sam Goody back in the day for $14.99 . Still has the outer sleeve and sticker.
& Yes The Dan is absolutely my all-time favorite band.

@slaw...I had never heard of the Delines until you posted them earlier on, in this thread. What album(s) would you recommend to start with? I see they have (6) albums. Thanks!
|
@mofimadness ,
I thought I own all 12" vinyl ( I may be wrong) and think I now have 5 total. I’d start in chronological order.....you won’t be disappointed.
IMO, they have some of the best song writing I’ve heard in a while.

Got caught up, busy with business, and out of my rut.
Elvis Presley S/T 1956 Original Issue (RCA LPM-1254 Mono)
Miles Davis 'Kind Of Blue' 1959 (Columbia CL 1355 Mono) RTI HQ-180 RI
John Coltrane 'Blue Train' 1958 (BLP 1577 Mono) Speakers Corner RI
Thought I'd try out my new toy with some Mono pressings. I know, I'm aware, not even a 2 channel MC cart could do them justice. My curiosity got the best of me. Disappointing but not unlistenable. Was still great to hear these titles.
|
The Knack "Get The Knack"
MFSL
|
@arizonabob ,
Not sure what you're talking about. I love my mono lps.
|

With the Friday night Mono's out of the way, Saturday nights' selections were;
Rolling Stones 'Now!' 1965 Original Issue (London PS 420)
Joni Mitchell 'Court And Spark' 1974 Original Issue (Asylum 7E-1001)
Paul Simon 'Graceland' 1986 Original Issue (Warner Bros. 25447-1)
No revelations in the titles listed so far, but I felt the need to play my favourite titles. Please bare with me, my new MC cartridge is calling me and insisting that I play the ones I like best without repeating artists. If I'm boring some of you sorry, I'm having a great experience hearing them "for the first time". If you're staying tuned for some obscure titles, they'll come later. AB
|
@slaw, I love them too, that's why I have them. I'm just thinking that pushing the mono button of my amp isn't going to sound the same as a good mono cartridge. Maybe I'm wrong?
