Greg i think your MoFi collection is a good start on Hedge Fund status....

Jim, after watching this video about the guy with the largest record collection in the world, which at the time was valued at 50 million dollars, not being able to sell it, I'm not so sure I should bank my retirement on the MOFIs! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SwXayHbUQ2o&feature=share |
@reubent Hooters - "Nervous Night" How did you know at the very moment you made that post I was composing one of my own about Khatia? https://youtu.be/Kqtz6a8ikGg |

Richard Burgin conducts – Music For Organ And Brass: Canzonas Of Gabrieli And Frescobaldi. E. Power Biggs, organ and the New England Brass Ensemble. Columbia Masterworks ‘6 eye’, date unknown, but assume it could be right around the time of the recording. Mono A Recording Premiere of the first true concert organ in America, built by D. A. Flentrop in 1958 for the Busch-Reisinger Museum at Harvard University. Love this organ music. Especially with the horns. |
They are very odd in their marketing of the UD1S releases. I learned last year to proactively call music direct and ask. Currently here is what I recall is available: Carole King Blood Sweat & Tears(already sold out) Janis Joplin Crosby Still & Nash Paul Simon Eric Clapton Muddy Waters SRV(already sold out) Elvis |
Thank you for the good word on preorders of UD1S via calling Music Direct. I am hoping the Crosby Stills & Nash is the first album, S/T, on the couch on the front porch. The original pressing all sound terrible, like a blanket over your speakers. My copy was trashed years ago and I can not find a respectable sounding copy anywhere. On UD1S I imagine they sourced the original tapes and mastered it perfectly and then produced on the UD1S entire process. I want to buy this album! |
@mammothguy54 Your hopes are a reality! Give them a call and get it pre-ordered. I learned a couple of interesting things. They do the pressings at the beginning of the year and then release them "throughout the year". In other words, who knows when they will ship. I also asked if serial numbers correspond to order dates, and they said "roughly", so if you want a low number, order early and often. This thread just cost me another chunk of money. Thanks guys! |
@big_greg Thank you for the clarification. I will place my order ASAP. Finally, an audiophile grade copy of that album (whenever it will ship). And yes, this thread is definitely a bank account draining rabbit hole. I have participated in that situation very effectively. As well is fishing, I agree with tomic601 a million percent. Due to COVID I didn't go out on open party boats this past summer. I used that budget toward new hi-fi gear. Different rabbit hole, same issue.😂 |
Going to continue with my Szell/Cleveland selections this evening. Next up: Szell conducts Schumann - The Four Schumann Symphonies. The Cleveland Orchestra. Columbia/Odyssey 3LP box, 1971 In other news, Jim Hagerman emailed me notifying that the Hagerman Trumpet is being shipped today...oh, the wait...trying to be patient |
@bkeske That’s exciting for you Brian. It took me a long time to learn how important a phono stage is. Sounds like you’re getting a good one. ———————————- Anton Bruckner Symphonie No. 5 Solti-Edition Vol.9 this finally arrived today from Berlin after a 3+ month wait. Wow does it sound good though. Pristine vinyl and a spectacular recording. Wonderfully dynamic, clear and bright. I’m sitting on the stage in front of the Violas. |
Maazel conducts Tchaikovsky #4. The Cleveland Orchestra. Telarc 1979 Thanks James, just got notified it will be here next Tuesday. 11 day turn around from ordering. Not too bad, especially coming from Honolulu. Yes, the phono stage was my last piece to the phono rig. The Mani with LPS has done its job nicely, but I have a feeling it will be, (as it was when I put together the SOTA/Jelco/Soundsmith), like playing my albums for the first time. Again. |
