Steve, I hope it’s going well for you and on schedule. And Thanks to you and Tim who got me on to Terry Allen.

Joe Sample / Ray Brown / Shelly Manne - The Three. Inner City Records 1978

Ahmad Jamal - Live At The Montreal Jazz Festival 1985. Atlantic 2LP gatefold 1986

^^ whenever I listen to this album I’m always reminded of the intro to “Twilight Zone: The Movie”  with Dan Arkroyd and Albert Brooks - classic

Really missing my listening sessions. Got a few upgrades in the works when I get back to it. New Origin Live belt for my VPI (HRX pulley). Townshend Podiums and Pods on the way..........

Hey @mckinneymike ,

I got my copy of Amythyst Kiah "Wary + Strange" in recently, (thanks to you). Have you had a chance to listen to the vinyl yet? Noticed it is mastered by Bob Ludwig.

@sbank 

Brian, you've inspired me to dig deeper & more frequently into my modest classical collection, thank you.

Fantastic 👍🏼 Checking out the new pre, am listening to a lot of stuff I know well, but am looking forward to digging through my classical selections later. In a fairly short period of time, I believe my classical collection is larger now than any other genre of music after nibbling around the edges of it for years. Fascinating stuff.

 

@bkeske 

Nice music/listening list

Brian, you've inspired me to dig deeper & more frequently into my modest classical collection, thank you.

For any of you Elvis Costello fans (I'm referring mostly to you @big_greg  😁), that EC record I played earlier tonight - "Momofuku" is pretty darn good, considering almost no one has ever heard of it... Check it out via streaming if you have any interest in Elvis Costello. It's a 2008 release, that was first released on 2XLP vinyl and as a digital download, then later released on CD.

It's a rocker, with The Imposters and guests, 

All you Jenny Lewis fans...she's on a bunch of tracks here(Jonathan Rice & Farmer Dave appear too)

 

 

@reubent Tom, I'm embarrassed to admit that I don't have Momofuku in my vinyl collection.  I do have it on my network.  I haven't listened to it in a while.  I may need to go on a hunt for the vinyl.

@corelli welcome to the threat.  It's nice to see I'm not the only one with 4 systems scattered around my house!

@trhester1 

Big improvement over my previous Benz Micro 2.0
 

You got me beat.  My previous cartridge was one step above a cactus quill (a Shure SC39ED, the radio station gold standard for many years).

 

@puffball08 

I agonized b/w Kandid and Krystal. I had a budget though including a Lingo IV, new trampolin, etc - and because  my preamp gives the warmth I like and my amp gives weight and heft - and my taste is so wide - I settled on the Krystal. I probably could have done better, but no complaints so far from rock to jazz to vocal to classical. Big improvement over my previous Benz Micro 2.0. 

;-) It’s also the egoless audio thread…with great music…

Linda R - Living in the USA

@trhester1 

fully upgraded LP-12, Ekos, and Krystal

How do like the Krystal?  I have the same TT/arm with a Kandid and Urika in the plinth.  I’d read some criticism the Kandid was a bit sterile and lacking “warmth”.  However my experience has been quite the opposite I guess because of the vacuum tubes the signal encounters after leaving the Urika.

It's a rocker, with The Imposters and guests, but came out during a period when he wasn't doing much rockin'. Good stuff that I somehow missed at the time of its release.

@secretguy 

One of my best friends is on this.

Your friend was a player on one of the recorded sessions? Or your friend is in the audience?

@tomic601  

Tom - Maybe we can get a cull pile exchange going …. ?

I was just thinking the same. Anyone got any creative thoughts regarding how we can set up a "trade list"? See something you like, reach out to the owner for a possible trade. Could base relative values from discogs maybe?

 

@bkeske

I was streaming Mickey Hart’s "Planet Drum" and "The Apocalypse Now Sessions" by the Rhythm Devils just the other day. I will have to give the "Diga" album a try.
