Steve Miller Band "Number 5" I forgot how good this album is. Been probably 32 years since I last played it. David Crosby "If I Could Only Remember My Name" Second time to play this since receiving it last week. Really a great album and very well done reissue. Plant/Krauss "Raise The Roof" Just received (yes, Postal service has been busy). I didn't realize it was a 2-disc set. I played just disc one, so far. It's good, but I wouldn't call it great. Let's see how disc 2 goes and if it all grows on me. |
@boxer12 a couple of +++s for Bardo Pond |
@bslon The Busboys! I lost my copy but remember it being a fun LP, haven't heard that band mentioned in 20 years. @tomic601 Glad chatting with you too! Goodies await. John Coltrane - A Love Supreme (Acoustic Sounds Series) Got to mention a highly recommended jazz released in 2010, but new to me, that I've only seen available on CD; Abdullah Ibrahim & Ekaya – Sotho Blue Fantastic, classic bebop style straight outta the late 50s/early 60s, with a South African twist. Piano, saxes, and wait for it...trombone. Played it 5x this week. |
Chris Whitley - "Living With the Law" Just got my system put back together. I have a double-wide rack, 4 shelves high. A few years ago, I just threw it into the spot it occupies. Since I got the new TT and want to optimize, I decided it was time to level the rack. Six post racks are a PITA to level! Got it pretty darn close. Enough that just a slight turn on a couple of the adjustable feet on the Pioneer PLX1000 got the level perfect. Now I can move on to getting a new cartridge installed on the extra headshell. Have a line on a nice vintage cartridge. Hope it works out. If not, I'll probably go new AT. System sounds mediocre tonight after being turned off for several days. This system always sounds better after being powered up for a couple of days. Unfortunate, but true IMHO. |
@sbank Like you remember, the Bus Boys are a kick! George Harrison / Brainwashed |
Wallpaper stripping completed! Just finished patching all of the wallboard issues. Applied the knockdown texture. Begin painting soon. Whew! Tomorrow I am flying to Washington (state) to spend a day at Daedalus Audio. Owner, Lou Hinkley, is giving me a tour of the facility and manufacturing process. I will be auditioning a couple models of speakers. If they sound as I anticipate them to, I will be placing my order. About a 4 month build-to-order process. Check it out at Daedalus Audio website, model Apollo 11 is the likely choice for me but am also considering the Poseidon. Very stable impedance curve and very friendly to tube amplifiers. 96db efficiency. Owners reviews describe exactly what I am l looking for. |
Listening to my box of Beethoven string quartets, I realized I have not listened to any of his symphonies for a while, so…. ******************* What is up with this captcha verification??????? Is anyone else getting this? |
Thanks Brian. Yes, I am somewhat convinced but still need to hear them. My present Dynaudio speakers (bought them about 15 months ago) I bought without auditioning them. I got them for dealer cost, brand new model, but they just didn't float my boat. So, this time I am going to audition the speakers, and after I have done a ton of research on them. I need to make sure, this time. Fortunately, I can sell my Dynaudio speakers for very close to what I paid for them. The model is Contour 60i, if anyone knows someone who may be interested in them.
And yeah, what's this cr$p about authentication with "I'm Not a Robot" |

I was on the fence with Claudio Roditi would need another spin on both sides to decide. Radioland had superb SQ.
