Blue Maqams - Anouar Brahem |
Karajan conducts Beethoven, Symphonies 5, 6, & 7. Berlin Philharmonic. 1975 German box cycle re-release from 1962. Deutsche Grammophon.
May listen to 8 & 9 before the night is over as these cycle is so damn good. |
@slaw it’s funny how music often for me leads to poetry - I had no idea About Miller Williams until I read the Dust inspiration in the Charles Lloyd liner notes ( did I mention, I love liner notes AND ROON, both !!!
and of course Leonard Cohens poetry - I could go on.... |
North Country is good @slaw replaced the mailbox the FedEx dude mutilated, thought about welding up a couple of tank traps, then just had another drink... ha
moved the system forward in a new way by reconfigure of isolators I had, took preamp off Ayre blocks and put HRS Nimbus under... holy ! Had to grub up some isolators from vintage system to go under server but it’s a big positive change.
added a streamer ( nothing fancy )
but bypassing the DAC so results are super ( Isbell playing now )
and after much, much, back and forth I unpacked the SOTA Sapphire and will get it running... more on that later...
thanks for asking |

@tomic601 ,
Your mentioning your poetry, reminded me that I had tried to write songs at one point, but in the end, I felt I came across to literal. I don't have the ability to make subtle/nuanced points that I love to read/hear.
|
Gregory Alan Isakov "The Weatherman"
|
@tomic601 ,
Package arrived. Will open in a bit. |
Sammy Johns "S/T". Probably his only lp as he died fairly young. Remember "Chevy Van"? This is actually a sealed copy, op.
The first track sounds eerily like Chris Hillman! Sammy had a great voice. |
Gregory Alan Isakov "Evening Machines"
I re-US cleaned all my GAI lps today....prior cleaning was the hyper-expensive and overrated Audio Desk. |
@tomic601 ,
The PG lp has been steamed (twice), then put in the Vibrato for 60 min. I know, based upon my own experience with this lp, the surface noise, which may be the wrong descriptive....more accurately described better as noisy vinyl. After the first steam, I still noticed under good LED light, some possible further issues, so it was re-steamed. Will go in the ORB in a while. Gonna do a quick listen before flattening.
(Remember, a week or two ago, I warned about ATO.)
I have to say when I offered you this deal, I was in no way expecting your sending an lp with it. I do wish to thank you big time for the Doug Macleod "There’s a Time"/ReferenceRecording/45 rpm. The vinyl looks perfect and this is actually THE copy from Doug I lacked on RR. Your a great friend. |
Katy Lied .... Steely Dan.
MFSL 1-007 |
Hey @uberwaltz,
The MFSL "Katy Lied" has been my biggest disappointment with that label so far.
Hope you enjoy it! |
BTW, @tomic601 ,
In the past, you referred to your inlaws as outlaws. I'm pretty sure I now know where that term came from........... |
Tony Joe White "Hoodoo"

i am really glad you said that about Katy Lied as I thought it surely could not just be me.
I would say my Cassette tape version has more life to it.
Very subdued and lackluster all round.
Good job I did not pay over the odds for it. |
The Grand Illusion ... Styx.
mfsl 1-026.
Much better! |
Daughter flying back from Hawaii today, be good to have her home again.
Hopefully we can get to visit record store many times before she returns in August. |
Cool uber. I hope to see my daughter next month :-). Miss her a lot
JJ Cale & Eric Clapton / Escondido |
@slaw how cool is that ? I lucked into an extra copy of something you needed!!! I may go buy a lottery ticket.... somewhere in the box is return postage!!! |
@boxer12 the previously mentioned “ outlaws , now outlaw “ live in Escondido- makes me think of JJ and EC :-)... |
