Followed up on yesterday's posts on Roxy Music - For Your Pleasure. 1973 WB pressing. The production on this album was fantastic and the SQ on this pressing is equally fantastic. What a great album.
It's been way too many years since I last listened to this album.
The postings and suggestions from everyone on this thread are very much appreciated!
@tomic601 Nice to hear that your shrimping was a successful trip. Enjoy the catch! The bluefin tuna are really biting now but I can't go on a trip until after my wife returns from a vacation with her cousin. Around June 21 I should be able to go and get some BFT. I also have 3 more trips lined up for August/September. Stock the freezer!
The Beach Boys 'Surf's Up' Analogue Productions / QRP. Excellent!
The Motels 'All Four One' I think this is their best album. Excellent music and just as great in SQ.
Miles Davis 'Kind of Blue' Analogue Productions / QRP UHQR. I just received this and it is fantastic! Recently released as the latest UHQR album. If you like this album I can say it is definitely worth the price of admission to get it on UHQR.
After a 3 months wait I finally received my bass Tri-Traps from GIK. That really made a nice difference. I have achieved another level of bass definition. I knew it was there, I just had to get these corner traps to get the results. And indeed, it does the job well.
The Gabrieli String Quartet : Bridge - Novelletten For String Quartet / Three Idylls For String Quartet & Britten - String Quartet In D Major (1931) / Phantasy Quartet For Oboe, Violin, Viola And Violincello. London Treasury Series 1979
Sinfonia: Concerto Movements from Bach cantatas. Concentus Musicus Wien Nikolaus Harnoncourt Telefunken 1976
Themes from Great Broadway shows Metropolitan Jazz Quartet MGM Microgroove record. Probably early 60's. A throw in (along with others) when I bought a Technics SL 1300. Very nice recording.
Jim, I have succeeded at 4 BFT in the past 5 years. 40 lb, 80 lb, 130 lb, and 150 lb. My hope is to get 4 more, this season alone. 60 lb to 110 lb would be perfect. That 150 lb BFT nearly killed me...LOL And yes indeed, a culinary pinnacle. The most awesome sashimi, sushi, seared, and smoker grilled.
Enjoy the beach, the music, and certainly the shrimp.
Mammothguy, We're thinking along the same lines... I made some acoustic panels & placed them at the first reflection point on the ceiling of my listening room today. Nice improvement for sure!
The Claremont Quartet : Schoenberg - Ode To Napoleon Buonaparte For String Quartet, Piano, And Reciter, Op. 41 / Webern - String Quartet, Op. 38 / Stravinsky - Concertino For String Quartet & Three Pièces For String Quartet. Nonesuch 1968
@fiesta75, How easy or difficult is it to take that in and out of your analogy chain? Is it on a switch? Do you think either the switch and/or the SAE compromise your sound quality?
spiritofradio - The SAE 5000A is in a tape monitor on preamp, one switch. SAE also has a bypass switch on the front. I use the tape monitor so I don't think/can't tell if it effects sound. When the SAE is switched in, even when adjusted to "just" remove the click, it does remove some high frequencies. I only use it when needed.
