Slaw & Noromance,
Thank you so much for your kind words about Noteworthy Acoustic's interconnects. 

All,
My wife's illness requires full time attention from me currently & has pushed out the release date for the Noteworthy Acoustic products. That stated, I'm seeing a lot of improvement in her :-) & am planning on advertising the full line in April. I appreciate everyone's hopes & prayers during this time. It has meant a lot to me.

Fleetwood Mac / Penguin
If you have never heard this one or "Kiln House" from FM, check them out, they really are great! 
@slaw Trying out the Noteworthy against my trusty low-rent Belkin AV20302-06 ICs. They’re inexpensive but transparent, fast, and do not roll off the highs. The Noteworthy’s have more musicality and deeper (huge) soundstage, more color, a reduction of a little glare, with a very slight loss of absolute air. Have to admit, I’ve not let them break in as much as they need as I haven’t been running system 2 that much. (The ICs are too short to reach the monoblocs on system 1.)
i have Tigerlilly 45 rpm, agree.....much better. Natalie is War Dept. favorite

Al Di Meola - Elegant Gypsy
@tomic601 Thank you muchly for the care package! I love these surprises in the mail. I'll report back later. Having a night off.
Szell conducts Bruckner - Symphony #3. The Cleveland Orchestra. Columbia Masterworks ‘2 eye’, 1966.

Not a Bruckner fan, but keep trying. Szell could help make me a believer.



Tim - I am a massive Feat fan, can remember exact moment / place / situation where i became aware of them.......frozen moment..

Feat - Time Loves a Hero
Greg - made me laugh.....I asked a girl i worked with out to see Little Feat at Bumbershoot ( local Seattle music festival ), she had never heard of them and unknown to me until later thought they might be some fetish act ( those who truly understand Bumbershoot will not see this as much of a stretch of logic.... )...

I made her a Feat mix tape on cassette, she said YES !
Tickets now sold out, argh...

She is “ The War Dept. “.... today
Jim, that's a great story!  I've been to Bumbershoot many times, going back to when it was "free", they used to just for a donation and before that, the city put it on and it was completely free.  Never had a chance to see the Feat live, which is a shame.  Waiting for Columbus is one of the best live albums ever.  I also have a really sweet bootleg...
@slaw 

Me too, Steve. I need to do a deeper dive on my Church albums one evening.
@waltersalas, Hey Chris,

Here’s one that’s kind of rare on vinyl.....

Hex "S/T" (Steve Kilbey & Donnette Thayer)

When searching for it, you have to put in something like Steve Kilbey/The Church/Hex.

I love this album!!
@boxer12,

"Penguin" is a fave of mine. I bought the 2 remastered box sets last year. They sound great!
......"it was said, that when the paramedics got there,
Freebird was playing on the stereo,
You know, it's a very..long song"....

Drive-By Truckers
Pollution - S/T (Prophesy 1971)

@tomic601 Interesting. It's not something I'd buy. However, I like it. It's almost like Janis met Jesus. Gospel jazz funk! Recording is a tiny little bit tight and dry. NM and clean. Nice.
Maxine Sullivan With Ted Easton's Jazzband ‎– Maxine (Audiophile 1982)

Magic.
John Klemmer ‎– Touch (ABC 1975)

Average soft jazz. Not great. Fine for background reading.
@tomic601
Little Charlie And The Nightcats ‎– Disturbing The Peace (Alligator 1988)

Great album. Many thanks. Much appreciate your kindness.
Well, just made a switch...I promised to compare some of my "footers" a couple years ago.

At that time Kevin started a thread on ceramic cones.

I’ve been using Stillpoints in my system in addition to the spring systems I’ve made.

I just swapped the Stillpoints Minis (4) under my Trio with (3) Golden Sound cones.

Listening to the same album at the same volume, there is less bass boom while the bass seems less exaggerated.

Of course, this is on my righteous wall decoupling system, and the Trio is on an extra BDR Shelf.

I think I like it this way. We’ll see.
This configuration serves higher volume levels well. Of course, sub settings will make a difference.
Just changed the BDR cones under The Shelf For The Source on the Solid Steel rack for the Golden Sounds.

Moved the Three BDR cones under the Trio 

What a noticeable positive difference.  Transparency increased, transient response is superb, bass is f   ing great.
A great balance. Bass isn't overbearing.

Awesome!


FKJ - Ylang Ylang EP
Just ran into this man on YouTube. The album itself is just as beautiful and well-recorded.
