(the most sexual person I have ever known)
- Portfolio - Side 2, Track 1 - La Vie En Rose, 1976 David Bowie - Let's Dance - Side 1, Track 3 - Let's Dance (played through after China Girl). 1983 Berlin - Pleasure Victim - Sex [I'm a . . .], 1982
Yep, I do Steve. I simply meant mounted to the arm….and VTF….and VTA adjustments necessary for critical listening. So not as simply as swapping, but easier than unmounting and mounting on a fixed headshell.
I watched another video of Dr. kirmuss at a show being interviewed by Fremer. I'm becoming very interested in his cleaning system minus his main unit. I think my Vibrato is just as good. May try his cleaning system?
Clifford Brown Memorial Album 1969 Liberty reissue
Easily one of the best Jazz Albums I’ve ever heard. God only knows what “Brownie” would have gone to produce if he lived past 25. Only four years of his incredible talent was recorded.
Regarding Kirmus method, also check out the method used by theaudiophileman I like his method very much and am about to get the products and begin to apply that method with my Degritter. It's very similar to Kirmus. You can find it by searching for "Degritter review" or via his website.
Michael Franks "Tiger In The Rain" Direct-Disc Labs, I do so much enjoy this album.
The Cars "Heartbeat City" Just got it this week so had to listen to it again. It's really a very well produced and mixed album. Great music!
Alice Cooper "Goes To Hell" Since this has been mentioned lately I just had to pull it out, clean it, and play. Very well produced album. Really fun to listen to. Always a fan of Alice Cooper. I have a MoFi issue of "Welcome To My Nightmare" that I just may have to play tomorrow night.
Jethro Tull "This Was" The Steven Wilson remix. Steven made a few cuts a bit bass heavy, but still quite entertaining. A truly excellent early Tull album, showing their blues/rock side of the band. I have most of the Steven Wilson remixes of Tull. I think his best endeavor is "Stand Up".
George Szell conducts Tchaikovsky - Variations On A Rococo Theme For ’Cello And Orchestra In A Major, Op. 33 & Weber - Overture To "Der Freischütz" / Overture To "Oberon". The New York Philharmonic w/Leonard Rose, cello. Columbia Masterworks 1952
Mono
Edit: I really forgot how wonderful a recording this is. Mono recorded and engineered well (even 70 years old) really does have a stereophonic stage and depth to it. This is delightful.
L. A. Dream Team 12" - Rockberry Jam with Funky Fresh Gruesome Twosome 12" - Hallucination Generation (shout our to Mario who I stole this one from) Bomb the Bass 12" - Love So True - Depth Charge remix (doesn't sound as fresh now, but worked up the dance floor back then) Ryuichi Sakamoto - Neo Geo (my Oakland girlfriend could not believe Sly & Robbie would tour as supporting artists, Zellerbach 1989) Ultravox - Systems of Romance (last album with John Foxx as lead singer, before they went from punk to full New Wave pop)
Eugene Ormandy conducts Beethoven - Piano Concerto No. 4 In G Major, Op. 58 & Piano Concerto No. 2 In B Flat Major, Op.19. The Philadelphia Orchestra with Rudolf Serkin, piano. Columbia Masterworks 1955
I do not have any live albums. Any I should check out? Had one of my vintage speakers go out on me. The guy told me 2 months due to repair backlog. Emergency Craigslist search found a pair of Sansui SP-2700s for $325. They sound pretty good!
