John McLaughlin makes Jimi Hendrix bupkus. Change my mind.
Jimi is very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very excellent. McLaughlin is sublime. *** Musically speaking. *** Enjoy both fer sure. Goldfinger in TT5 with an Innovation on a Panzer stand. Yeah it struck me as a dubious marketing move on the part of Clearaudio. |
Thanks Joel. I resemble that remark! edit: A co-worker brought me a nice size box of vinyl last week. Several Wishbone Ash pp in the pile.
Greg, I have a few copies of On Every Street. Love the lp!.I remember comparing years ago. Have the op/EU copy too.
Chris, I’m learning that "flavor" thing more than ever now on my streaming system. It’s evolved more that ever. Currently using the Tannoy Gold 7 and Love that dual concentric driver!
Thanks Tim. |
Thanks for the nice comments on the VAC, everyone. It makes some lovely music. Steve, I sold the Luxman to a lucky fellow in California. I have nothing but great things to say about it. So many flavors of ice cream in this hobby. Let's just say the VAC is a flavor that I really, really enjoy! Glad you'll be returning home soon. |
Steve, face it, you are an addict. But it's a really good addiction. Enjoy them all. After a movie tonight with my wife, this is what I have on deck for the turntable. Annie Lennox - Diva Just got this and have listened to it once. Have to play it again. What a fabulous voice she has and what a great album. The Motels - S/T Got this about 6 weeks ago. Love it, just awesome. Have to play it again before filing it with my other Motels albums. Pink Floyd - A Momentary Lapse of Reason, 45rpm reissue. Seems like that will be a wonderful way to end the evening before bedtime. Just float upstairs and drift to sleep. Enjoy the music tonight, all. |
I just bought a big pile of records and CDs at the local record store. At the moment however I am listening to one of those little silver discs, Dire Straits - On Every Street. I bought a couple of vinyl copies and they both sounded like crud, very noisy. The CD actually sounds very good. I think this is the only Dire Straits that MOFI didn't do on vinyl. Maybe a 45 RPM version could overcome the limitations of putting that long of an album (60 minutes) on one record. I know it's not their best, but I like this album. |
@waltersalas congrats, that’s a dream piece! Jackie McLean - Swing, Swang, Swingin' 2009 Music Matters 45rpm Miles Davis - Filles De Kilimanjaro 2015 Mofi 45rpm

Yep, was going to replace it this year, but it was there in the basement as winter came on, and used it again anyway. And yea, I know what you mean, I’m trying to take care of my body a little better as I get older, but yea, probably worry more about my equipment 😁 Think I’ll reset my other two 12ax7’s. I’m really thinking the humidifier may have been the culprit. If that thing had any effect on my Belles 400A failing….well….that is even more disturbing in hindsight. |
