It’s nice Steve. Am listening to it now. Not a ‘sonic blowout’, but instead mostly very ‘polite’ and introspective….with a couple exceptions. Sitting here reading about how it all happened, over a 2-3 year period. Funny recollection by all. I got it from Acoustic Sounds for $19, so you can’t go wrong with all the talent on this LP. |
@dayglow That's what I like, the variety. I've been on a similar journey of playing all my albums, but my purpose has been play grading them and inventorying them in Discogs and doing some thinning of the herd. I usually post when I start listening, not after as you do, so I don't often report back on the SQ. I'm always happy to share that information if asked (and I can remember, LOL). |
@big_greg Thx, appreciate the kind words. I know my music taste is all over the place with the exception of punk/post-pop punk and extreme alternative/indie which are genres mostly avoided. My goal here has been to organize/cleanse my albums by playing my entire vinyl collection and help others decide if the SQ is a make or break buying decision. |
@dayglow I like your taste. |
Steve, ClearAudio makes a great record hole reamer, but it's costly ($50). It's very well built and feels really good in your hand. But it's costly! Dave Mason - Alone Together Again I have said it before, and I'll say it again. This endeavor by Dave Mason is a really great production. The album cover and swirly vinyl are great. The music is exceptionally well done. And the sonics are really good. Could use a little more on cymbals, but that was the mix they chose. The bass line and kick drum are superb, as are the lead guitar and all vocals (lead and backup). Very highly recommended. I listened to a reissue copy of Supersession that I bought last year. It seemed rather strident and thin, even more so than I remember (I do remember that it wasn't impressive last year). This is an all analog issue from Speakers Corner. I bought it thinking the all analog reissue would outperform my original copy. I followed it by playing my original copy, from 1971. What a difference! The 1971 copy sounded so much smoother and elegant. The difference between these two, if I can make an analogy, is like eating a beautiful red and sweet strawberry and then eating one that is equally pretty but is a GMO strawberry that just has no sweetness or real flavor. I wish my original copy was in perfect condition. I played it a lot, and plenty of times on the old Magnavox console before moving on to my first real high fidelity system. A bit noisy in places, but still very good. Fabulous album, by the way. A real classic. Great music and very good SQ. |
Judas Priest-Hell Bent For Leather Side 1 Sister Sledge-We Are Family Side 2 Larry Carlton-Strikes Twice Side 1 Rosanne Cash-King's Record Shop Side 1 No Nukes-Side 3 Queen-A Day At The Races Side 1 London Grammar-If You Wait Side A Jefferson Starship-Dragon Fly Side A Never have I had 8 recordings so close in SQ. Was Priest/Nukes/Grammar or Starship the weakest? All 4 had very solid SQ. Finally a newer non Audiophile recording(London Grammar 2014) on vinyl that has very good SQ. It was to close to give a SQ crown tonight. The 4 other recordings were near Audiophile SQ |
Hey @j_husker , I experienced that recently with a Yardbirds lp but three sides sounded best , those were 1A, side 2 was a 1D. Big sonic difference. I do occasionally drink. |
Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band-Ragged But Right 2022 Round Records RSD The Bill Evans Trio-Trio '65 2022 Verve Ume Acoustic Sounds Series Strange with the Garcia Band set. Sides A,B, and C are not easy to listen to, probably rate them 3 out of 5 stars for sq. The D side is a solid 4.5 stars sonically. Can’t say I’ve experienced this before. I don’t drink and there are no pain meds onboard, so I’m certain its the vinyl and not me! |
