Laura Veirs "The Lookout" again |
|
@mammothguy54,
I think my initial description was spot on. Sounds similar to Santana with a funk/soul groove. The SQ is all analog, dynamic, punchy, extended.
I haven't tried, maybe some YouTube videos are out there.
My highest recommendation! |
Jefferson Airplane "Volunteers" MFSL/45rpm |
@slaw
Thank you so much for putting in the extra effort. I have been looking for something that would satisfy just what you described for the music and especially the SQ. I trust your "highest recommendation!" Thus, I'll pull the trigger. I see them on Discogs, NM/M- for $10 to $20, plus shipping. I look forward to it.
Also, "Volunteers" on MFSL/45rpm, I am jealous. Nice one for the collection.
My new Symposium Foundation Rack Ultra is scheduled to arrive on Tuesday. It will take me a couple of days to assemble all the parts, load all of the components, and make all of the signal connections. The Barrabas album should arrive just in time. Thanks again. |

Thank you @slaw
Picked up my first TT today. Have been building a system since March but up until know it has been all streaming.
Oh my!!! |
Cool brother. Hope you continue to post here. |

Welcome @mvrooman1526. +1 on that Pablo Records Jazz. Sounds great analogue doesn’t it!?! @slaw posted about a couple of Pablo issues lately. It’s a great sound.

@slaw @bkeske,
Brian,
Where you been. Your posting has slacked off. Hope all is well.
Steve Has been a busy week Steve, and Friday my new DAC arrived, so checking out my digital recordings to get aquatinted (see the ‘streaming’ and ‘systems’ threads). As good as it sounds, I may feel the need for a vinyl fix before the night is over though 😁 |
I'm hoping that your hopes are realized. |
The Beatles "With The Beatles" stereo/from my pristine UK blue box.
BTW, this box (so far) sounds incredible.
So far, eerily quiet |
@slaw I'm hoping that your hopes are realized. I'm pretty impressed; Denafrips Ares II R2R DAC. It ain’t vinyl, but sounds pretty good. |

This Beatles UK Blue box is exceptionally quiet. Until you've heard a dead quiet lp, you'll never know how much it will mean to your in house reproduction. |
Him / Many in high places are not well |
Steve, I have my eyes on that Blue Box collection. Tempting. |
The Beatles "Abbey Road" my prized plum label Capitol pressing |
Yo Yo Ma, “Songs of Joy and Peace”.
George Winston “December”
Getting into the Christmas spirit
before I hit the Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Nate King Cole holiday Classics. As Thanksgiving nears
one must hold off until this holiday has passed. All the best to everyone... |

Brian,
I was fortunate enough to pick up an unplayed UK Blue Box a while back.
It will raise up intermittently here when the feeling is felt.
It's special.

Grizzly Bear / Painted ruins |
Szell conducts Brahms Double Concerto in A minor, with David Oistrakh, Mstislv Rostropovich and The Cleveland Orchestra. Angel reissue 1980’s.

Miles Davis - Filles de Klimengaro - Mofi 45rpm - totally awesome. I forgot how much I enjoy this record |
Sgt. Pepper... making my way through my project of getting all my records into Discogs database and play grading the ones that I haven't. Not a bad way to start a Sunday morning. More Beatles to come. |
Another copy of Sgt. Pepper. The first one was the Giles Martin 1/2 speed remastered 50th anniversary edition. This one is "Taken from 2009 EMI digital remaster". They sound less different than I thought they might, but I definitely have a preference for the Giles version. |
