Earl Klugh-Dream Come True Side 2 SQ Audiophile
With 5/8 recordings with Audiophile SQ and Metheny a near miss makes for a very satisfying night of vinyl playback! Concord Jazz tasted defeat tonight even with 2 albums. A thrift store find Dimitri Tiomkin/Lost Horizon was purchased due to being in mint condition, was not expecting possible demo disc SQ and top level content.
@dayglowI only really post albums here that I haven't played in a while. It would look odd if the same albums appeared all the time. By the same token, I find posting here forces me to play other stuff in the collection - often with some nice surprises.
@noromance +1 It’s very difficult to recall exactly what album or side you played 2 years or even 2 months ago. The idea came from a thread here regarding how many records is too many? The stereotype that "Audiophiles" play the same 100 titles over and over despite having thousands of vinyl albums was a personal attack. I knew it would take over 3 years to complete this task but so far it has been very rewarding and informative.
Bruce Springsteen-Darkness On The Edge Of Town Side 1
The New York Jazz Quartet-In Concert In Japan Side 2 SQ Audiophile
Gerry Rafferty-Snakes And Ladders Side 1
Hall/Oates-Past Times Behind Side 2
The Motown Sound-Volume:7 Side 1
Dee Bell-Let There Be Love(CJ 216) Side 2 SQ Audiophile
We start the year with another Concord Jazz SQ win. With the exception of the Motown recording everything had above average SQ. Will continue to play my complete vinyl collection while trying(not easy) to avoid repeats. Started this process in April 2020, pretty sure I’m close to 80% of my vinyl played.
