Thx for all the positive comments. Preston Reed takes the SQ trophy. Could compare him to Michael Hedges but with a country edge. Siegel/Simon just missed Audiophile status, both with great content. Very Dionne is a solid Warwick album with an excellent version of "Yesterday".

@dayglow 

Your reviews are both inspirational and helpful.  I can't thank you enough.  Enjoy the music and your entire vinyl collection.

Some '80s today...

The FIX  -  Reach The Beach   A very respectable recording and rather quiet vinyl.

Tears For Fears  -  Songs From The Big Chair   Great album of '80s music, as is the album listed above.  A good recording and pressing, too.

Continuing with Dvořák

@spiritofradio  Thx for the kind words.

@dayglow 

Most admirable.  Always enjoy your informative posts.   

@slaw  An emphatic yes! 

So @dayglow ,

I can only assume we've been a very good influence.

Update-Started posting here on 4/14/20 with the (brilliant?) idea of playing my entire vinyl collection. This idea emerged from the myth that Audiophiles play the same 100 or so albums yet have vinyl collections in the thousands. This thread proves to some extent that's a fallacy. Since I started posting on this thread I have added about 250 vinyl albums bringing my total collection around 1800. From my estimated calculations I have played 1250 album sides with only about a 5% repeat rate. My Audiophile SQ recordings are >25% which is mainly due to Jazz/Vocals and Classical, no where near my desired 40%. Tonight I will start on my next 600!

Dave Douglas and Elan Mehler - If There Are Mountains

Good sounding record.  

@j_husker That’s funny. Hey, I don’t think you need to apologize for having that record - what a treasure. You’re lucky to have it. Thanks for the report too. I have that Mofi. It’s reserved for when I’ve been exceptionally good, which honestly doesn’t happen very often since I have every one of the vices you listed….

@spiritofradio it’s fantastic. I also have the Mofi UD1S and a super clean OG pressing. Comparing them now. 

Mofi is “punchier” I would say, slightly more dynamic/hotter. The erc is unbelievably quiet (as is the erc Walkin I have) and I would say it’s better than the OG mono by a significant margin sonically. Just a touch more analog sounding than the UD1S. More testing required-but that is ok with me :)

I am well aware that the erc releases are polarizing, even controversial. My wife and I have been together 31 years. She allows me my often extravagant hobby because as she tells friends and family, “he doesn’t golf, drink, smoke, gamble, or chase women.” Indulging in expensive hifi and vinyl is a minor character flaw in the grand scheme of things. And besides, it makes me happy.

Hiroshima-Odori Side 2

George Muribus-Trio ’77 Side A SQ Audiophile

Joanne Bracken-AFT(promo) Side A SQ Audiophile

Carmen McRae-Live At Sugar Hill(Time Records S/2104) Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Greg Lake-ST Side 1

Cat Stevens-Teaser And The Firecat Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Willie Nelson & Ray Price-San Antonio Rose Side 1 SQ*

Neil Diamond-Hot August Night Side 3 SQ Audiophile

Was not intended to be a vinyl night but due to system tweaking the playlist just followed. SQ* Willie/Ray has borderline Audiophile SQ. It’s a great pure country recording. Tough to claim a SQ winner Bracken/McRae/Diamond let’s make it easy... a 3 way tie. if unfamiliar with Greg Lake’s 1st solo album give it a listen.

+1 Neil Young, Live At Massey Hall 1971.

I've played it a couple of times and see it's worth a few hundred bucks now. 

Grateful Dead - Wake of The Flood. Grateful Dead Records 1973

@spiritofradio 

James, you mean The Early Home Recordings? You sent me a link. I don’t think it’s available until early next month. I have it saved on Pop Market.

@j_husker Oh Man! you got one?!?  Howzit sound?  I bet it’s absolutely great.  

@bkeske have you seen the new Sandy Denny?

Received a package today from across the pond, I am also spinning:
