@spiritofradio,
I'm not too familiar with UFO. |
Had to listen to Blackjack David again. Such a great/sounding album!

Family Band "Grace & Lies" Always loved this album.
Recommended!
@spiritofradio, @tomic601, @boxer12, @big_greg, @noromance, ......I think you all would really like this one |
@big_greg,
How are the amps and cables working out? |
John Mayall - USA Union. Polydor 1970 |
Just looked on Discogs for "Grace & Lies". Sealed copies available from the US, shipped for under $15. Amazon wants $40 shipped.
Sorry @bkeske, Brian I left you out. |
Not a problem Steve, don’t worry about it 👍🏼 |
Lyle Lovett "Pontiac"
Wonderful!! |

Thanks Steve. Will check out Family Band. |
You all need to search specifically for Family Band "Grace & Lies"
I'm actually searching for a cleaner copy. |

Sub-Pop 1995/2018 RE
Way better than way back then on MP3...
You owe it to yourself to get the lyric sheet. |
This typifies a particular guitar sound that was around in the mid-90s. Don’t know exactly how it was done (and I don’t hear it any more) but I really liked it then and still do.
This is a really good record. Guitars, spacey female sounding singer (like circa survive’s Anthony Green), lyrics, rockin. What more could a man/boy want. |
Well, I was reintroduced to Vinyl Me Please by @waltersalas . Thanks!
They find great music, remaster, then send to trusted pressing plants.
Thinking hard about becoming a member. |
@slaw don’t know how the subject of the VMP label (re)arose but yeah, they are mostly very good but I’ve bought a few of their records that don’t sound very good. You have to watch out. |
BTW, my translucent sky blue copy of LP5 from them sounds fantastic.
|
Thanks for the (personal) info! |
Dave Alvin & The Guilty Women
Just did a loong/slooow US clean.
Love it! |
For those you who have been on the fence regarding a US cleaner...... it’s a no-brainer. It will bring you closer to the artist/music.
I have almost a decade of experience with them. Started with the Audio Desk then moved down to a Chinese tank, then a DIY filtering system. Now very happy with my Vibrato w/ my filtering system. |

BTW, for my friends here, I'm recommending that you rethink your prior purchase/customers to who've purchased just one MyMat..
Going to a two MyMat system will at least double the effect one MyMat did for you already.
Almost out of stock. PM me. The price has increased.

@cal3713 I think it is an Excellent Album "We Out Here" that 95% or more of us , have no idea about. I accidentally found it on Bandcamp. looking at something else.. I was listening to my JRiver media center last night and came across a Bunch of Albums from Ben Harper. "The Will To Live" stood out for me , so i decided to look for it on Vinyl. haaaaaa. I love that record from him. Don't even try , unless you are willing to pay over $100 for a NM copy. Most are way over that. Same thing happened to me when I heard another Excellent Album while listening to Pandora .It was Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood from MSG I was going to try to find it on Vinyl .HUH. https://www.discogs.com/Eric-Clapton-and-Steve-Winwood-Live-From-Madison-Square-Garden/release/26894...You see, I have only been back into this Vinyl for maybe 2 years or less. But stuff like that is disappointing |
Sunny Day Real Estate is how I snark refer to our agent .... |
Pontiac will rip your heart out |

Mostly traditional folk songs but not unlike Bonny Light Horsemen, they are totally reworked and with really cool instrumentation. |

Pink Floyd "Meddle"
One of my two UK/Harvest versions.
I sold my MFSL copy years ago because one of these sounded better. |
@slaw The amps sound great and if nothing else, the cables are really pretty. I had a Zu DL-103 that came with my SL-1200 and I mounted it on my Classic 2 yesterday. Sounded terrible, distortion in the left channel. It's heading off to Andy Kim to see if it can be salvaged. I mounted my Van Den Hul MC Two Special and that sounds great. |
what amps ??? did i miss something significant? |
Jim, I'm not sure how significant it was, but I picked up a pair of Herron M1 monoblocks. |
@big_greg,
I know you've not seemed to want to try a MyMat.....,but I think you'd be thankful if you did.
Low stock, would like friends to enjoy this before it's gone.

Slaw,
Thanks for the recommendation of "Grace & Lies". I'll check them out.
Big Greg,
If you want to try a couple 1 meter pairs of Noteworthy Acoustics RCA interconnects, let me know & I'd be glad to send them to you for evaluation.
Holger Czukay / Cinema
He was an excellent musician & in the band CAN. This is a 5 album box set that was released in 2017 or 18 I believe. Just picked it up today. |
@big_greg,
Take @boxer12 up on his generous offer.

The Greatest Rock n Roll band!!!!! |
Greg I have his phono pre and it is very musical, tows the neutrality line tauntly. I have not heard his monoblocks, when are they possibly displacing? I plan to take Tim up on his evaluation offer at some point also ... |
Streaming Grace and Lies.... |
Jim, I've been running Rogue audio M180 monoblocks. The Herron M1s are pretty old, but they were upgraded to a FET front end a couple of years ago at the factory. I couldn't really find much information about them, but bought them primarily based on Keith's reputation and all the great things I've heard about the Herron phono stage. A little less power than the M180s (150 vs 180 watts), but they are super quiet, detailed, and dynamic, and run really cool, take up less space, and I will never have to buy 8 KT120s for them. |
Tim, thank you for the offer, I appreciate it. I'm not really a "cable guy" and might not be the best person to evaluate your cables. |
@big_greg, Congratulations on the new amps! |
