@petg60 The Triffids - In the pines I bought this when it came out. Great 80s Oz pop. Recorded in a sheep outhouse or something. |

@slaw
They made What's Goin' On in MFSL UD1S / 45 rpm? I can't find it listed anywhere? I don't even see it on the MFSL website under UDs1 listings for current and/or sold out. When was that released? |

@noromance,
yes it was recorded in a woolshed, a low cost production in a 8 track machine that turned out nicely, still like this LP. |
@mammothguy54,
What James said. |
Center Stage - Lowell Graham, Conductor, National Symphonic Winds. Picked this up at our music club meeting last night. It's a "Wilson Audiophile" / Quality Records release. Great sounding recording, and off the beaten path in terms of what I normally listen to. |
Hello, I'm Johnny Cash. I have a couple of different versions of this with different songs on them. |

I had to spin Ringo’s self titled album from 1973 after reading a prior post. Definitely great drumming by Ringo and Jim Keltner and also great Bass by Klaus Voormann. Ringo has always known how to surround himself with great musicians. Billy Preston, Nicky Hopkins, Bobby Keys, Tom Scott, Marc Bolan, and The Band to name a few. And of course George, John, and Paul.
Great album. |
Ryan Adams "Wednesdays"
Very introspective......wondering if he's wanting Mandy back? |
Cowboy Junkies - The Caution Horses. RCA 1990 |
Just an update.....
Our mutual friend Tim, @boxer12, asked me to help him out with a dedicated phono cable. Noteworthy Audio. That was several months ago and I’ve since decided to have my VPI arm wired for a direct connection from cart to phono stage. So, I won’t be reviewing that cable. However, I’ve in house, his other interconnects. One is a 12’ from phono to sub, the other is a 1M from sub to amp. The 12’ was just installed last week and Tim says at least 100 hours before serious listening. ( I’ve tried speaker level connections in the past and in my system, that didn’t work out.)
I can say even after 30 hours, these cables are drawing me into the music like never before. |

@slaw and @spiritofradio Thank you for the replies. I have been wanting to get that album and didn't know it was made in UD1S. I have been looking for a new copy/reissue and they are consistently on backorder. UD1S cited by Steve got my attention but I could not find it by sellers of new vinyl (such as Elusive Disc). OK, so it is available, via discogs. But at $400 I'll wait for it to come off of backorder in the 180 gr version from Mowtown for around $30. Thanks again, guys. I sure am jealous of that UD1S, I hope that you enjoy it very well. |
@slaw @boxer12 One is a 12’ from phono to sub, the other is a 1M from sub to amp. You're running your analogue signal from your phono stage straight to your subwoofer before it goes to a pre-amp or integrated amp? Forgive my lack of sufficient experience with good stereos but i don't understand how that could possibly not degrade your signal before it gets to your amp. Seems like it might also challenge different timing elements. Whats in your subwoofer? Class C amplifier(s)? I'm scratching my head. |
Over The Rhine "Love & Revelation" |
James,
I'm not a tech person, just a hands on guy
I sure understand your concern as I had it as well. It sounds much better this way.
I encourage others to experiment. |
FWIW, I'm running the high pass filter out as none.I think this makes a big difference |

I hope that @tomic601 is scoring well with his fishing. After recovering from such a terrible cycling accident he certainly deserves it. Go get 'em Jim!
I'll begin fishing in late July through end of September. Hopefully the bluefin tuna will be very good this year.
And yeah, me too, I don't understand going from phono stage directly to powered subwoofer. Does that mean you then connect an output from the subwoofer to your main amp? I have never heard of such connectivity. If so, then how do you control the volume level? |
My subs allow for all the connectivity that are if concern
The REL subs are renowned for their speaker level connectivity. They even have upgrade cables just for this application. |
