@slaw - You were right. The SQ on "Red Dirt Girl" is disappointing. Kind of a muddy, mushy sound. Sounds like they tried to make it sound like the Daniel Lanois produced, atmospheric sound, of "Wrecking Ball", but they just "fuzz'd" everything.

Brandi Carlile - "by the way, I forgive you"
|
A really nice second hand copy of Chicago VII. I really like the jazzy instrumentals on the first disc and there are some nice hits on the second record. |
@slaw thanks, Slaw. I don't have the ears I used to but I could definitely hear how great the remastering is on the Tom Petty box, I agree with you, I can't recommend that box set enough, awesome.
Long couple of days sorting thru 550 records I purchased from a guy off Craigslist. Unfortunately I put about 300 of them right back in the boxes and sold them at a local RS.
Good news is with a mild cleaning all of the ones I have played so far sound very, very good and everything is an original pressing.
Currently playing Willie Nelson- Greatest Hits, excellent
Dire Straights - Love Over Gold - almost perfect
Derek and the Dominoes - Layla and.., very very good
The Police - Ghost in the Machine - Nautalis SuperDiscs - great
Kraftwerk- Trans Europe Express - very very good
Ravel on original Mofi
Bernie Krause - Citadels - Mofi
|
Supertramp - Crime of the Century
Bruce Springsteen - Darkness at the Edge of Town- Half Speed Mastered
Jeff Beck - Wired- excellent
Tom Petty - Full Moon Fever
|
First vinyl play of 2019:
The Tree of Forgiveness---John Prine |
Eat The Elephant ... A Perfect Circle.
2x180g.
As far as the SQ goes all I can say is WOW! |
George Harrison - Living In The Material World
Third World - Serious Business
Rolling Stones - Goats Head Soup
The Who - Who Are You
|
Jimbo Mathus - "Blue Healer"
Not my favorite Jimbo Mathus record. Just listening to it again to see if it might start growing on me a bit. It really hasn't too much....
Anyone interested in some Deep Mississippi tinged Americana, Check out "Dark Night of the Soul" and "White Buffalo" from Jimbo Mathus and the Tri-State Coalition. Both excellent albums IMHO. Well, if you like that sort of thing......
|
Liz Phair - Exile in Guyville. 25 years already, doesn't seem like it. |
@reubent so what is your favorite Jimbo Mathus record?
Tonight- listened to Willie Nelson - Greatest Hits again, phenomenal sound quality and staging
Derek and the Dominoes- Layla side 3 and 4 |
The Who - Quadrophenia (Back To Black edition)
|
@6t5-gto - My two co-favorite Jimbo Mathus records are "White Buffalo" and "Dark Night of the Soul". Neither are perfect, but there are enough good songs on each that I could recommend them.
|
Captain and Tennille - Greatest Hits. RIP, Captain. Hope you and Super Dave meet up in the afterlife. |
The Orwells - "Disgraceland" |
Cassandra Wilson - "Traveling Miles"

@slaw I need that Bill Withers and I picked up a great OP of Promise not too long ago. Always loved that record
Steely Dan - Aja - OP , fantastic
Eric Clapton - Slowhand - OP and this one needs some cleanup work, SQ is VG but vinyl is noisy |
@6t5-gto,
While my BW is a 180gr, I believe I bought around 15 years ago. My memory is that it was pressed by Scorpio. There is no inner jacket.

Modest Mouse / The lonesome crowded west |
|
Jenny Lewis "Under The Blacklight" |
@boxer12,
I happened to glance over at the other music thread and noticed where your moniker originated. I had wondered, but I now get it. I was once a motorcycle dude. Mostly raced motocross back in the day where it was only two-stroke bikes. Roger Decoster was my hero then.
|
|
That is going back. I used to own a husky 125 & loved it! Wish I wouldn't have sold that one :-( |
Brandi Carlile "by the way, I forgive you". There was some discussion over this lp over the past week. I decided to put it on for another listen after a nice system upgrade.
………………..
@boxer12,
I quit road bikes after an 11 year old boy driving a farm tractor cut in front of me. My head hit the front blade. I was riding a Kawasaki 500/3cylinder/2 stroke.
What was interesting about the Huskys was they came in a CR (close ratio), and a WR (wide ratio) transmission...(or gearing) depending on what kind of racing/riding you preferred. Remember OSSA, MAACO, Penton, etc...?
|
The BC lp is compressed but not so much that I can't enjoy and make out subtle details. |
Dog & Butterfly ... Heart |
Hi @uberwaltz,
I checked out your virtual system page earlier today...
The Devore speakers...love them!
Regarding the Nottingham...did you have or try the Wave Mechanic? I noticed you run a Walker. Could you elaborate?
|
|
@slaw
I bought the Walker from a fellow member here and it does indeed hold speed absolutely rock solid after it has been set up with a strobe.
I did this on both 33 and 45 and there is no fluctuations at all now.
Not had a Wave Mechanic. |
The Wake .... IQ
Not their best effort though....
|
Slaw, You're certainly making yourself vulnerable on a motorcycle. No doubt about it. Glad you didn't get hurt to bad! A friend of mine just finished restoring a Kawasaki 500 triple this past summer. Fun bike as long as you're not following it (it smokes). Also, I do remember all of the bikes you mentioned. Another guy I used to ride with (he's been dead for a while now) had a slick ossa. That bike had torque! Anyway...

Welcome @mustbethemusic ! |

Guys, how about Bultaco, Hodaka, Puch and Can-Am. All seen around local motocross tracks in the early '70s.
