Gary Burton / Chick Corea - Crystal Silence.
Finished up Light as a Feather before this. The last track - Spain, is an auditory treat. If your system does imaging and soundstage well, it's a nice demo track. |

@reubent sweet! Great album! Don’t have it on vinyl, but hit it streaming the other night!

@geof3 - Yep, great album. Love it. I actually have the 12" 45 of the live version of "Face the Face" from the movie - "White City". Have you seen the movie? It's on YouTube (in two parts). I think it's about a one hour feature. I have it on VHS. Really cool IMHO. I guess I'm a fan.... :~) |

The Very Best of Booker T & The MG's
That's a fun way to start your day! Love that album...... |
@reubent I'm continuing to play grade and add records to Discogs as time allows. It's going to take a while, but I've rediscovered some things in my collection that I probably haven't listened to in a few years, like that one :) |
Greg,
Good Luck with that one!
I did similar a while back, but I didn't catalog them in Discogs :~(
Ended up culling hundreds of LPs due to the effort. Got my collection down to a reasonable size that fit into one IKEA Kallax 4X2 cubbie rack, about 800 records. Unfortunately, or, fortunately, depending on how you look at it, the collection grew again, to about 1000 LPs, and no longer fits in my record rack. |
I have around 2,000 records and have been culling them also. Many duplicate copies of the same title. |
Clairseach – Ann's Harp (Clairseach 1981)
|
@bkeske Interesting to see you experiment with tubes. Also makes me nostalgic for when I started doing the same thing back in the 80s! I’m still messing around with them!
|
Robin Petrie & Danny Carnahan – Continental Drift (Flying Fish 1987)
Scottish-French Celtic folk. Harp, violin, dulcimer with some vocals. Sweet. |
Sylvia Woods – The Harp Of Brandiswhiere (Tonmeister 1982)
More Celtic harp for the day that's in it. |
Country Joe And The Fish – Together
(Vanguard 1968)
Good album. Like a cross between Beefheart, Herbie Flowers, The Doors, and a pinch Monty Python.
|
@noromance ,
I played that one (pp) twice in a row a while back and enjoyed it. |
Haydn Symphony #98 with Colin Davis and the Concertgebouw orchestra.
Sonically blows away an SACD of the same piece and the same conductor leading the LSO that I just obtained.
Vinyl never ceases to amaze me. |
Sweet Emma – Sweet Emma At Disneyland (Southland 1966)
Historic Dixieland jazz with sweet female vocals. |
Yeah @slaw Caught me off-guard. Amazing how music sounds so much better than you remember when the kit is up to snuff! |
Doc Evans And His Band – Classics Of The 20s (Audiophile 1956)
|
@tomic601 Re the phono psu: Replaced the aging rectifier tube with a new 5AR4 which tightened and cleaned up the bass, and improved image and stability. Gonna replace the ancient 6SJ7 driver tube tomorrow.
|
Buddy Tate, Al Grey – Just Jazz (Uptown 1984)
Great album. Recommended. |
Robin Williamson – Winter's Turning
(Flying Fish 1986)
Back to the Celts. |
@rvpiano
Good to see you posting here, keep them coming! We have a couple classical listeners (myself included) and always good to hear about other LP’s I probably don’t have.
And Yes, to me, much of my classical selections are on vinyl, and they most always sound wonderful to my ears. |
In this week....

The Motels 'All Four One' Really good SQ and Martha Davis has such a wonderful voice.
Joni Mitchell 'Don Juan's Reckless Daughter' (Brian's favorite!) Japanese pressing, super quiet vinyl and killer SQ.
My rig seemed to be sounding exceptional today. Maybe it is the air pressure or something. I know, today is my 67th trip around the sun. That's why... Time for dinner now. |
@mammothguy54 Joni Mitchell ’Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter’ (Brian’s favorite!) Japanese pressing, super quiet vinyl and killer SQ.

Not sure how many of these I will get through tonight, but the vinyl is in great shape, ‘quiet as a church mouse’, and really sounds good right now.....Symphony #1, then?..... |
Tchaikovsky
Serenade in C for Strings, Op. 48
Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields
