@bslon that Mac wasn’t upward compatible….not sure the latest version is either… I had a 2+ with an 80 column card…if anyone can remember such a thing…Sometimes i wonder if the whole of audiogon runs on a 40…. ha. I am a backward compatible Robot in a throwaway cult Jim |
Paul Simon-One Trick Pony Side 2 SQ Audiophile Judas Priest-Hell Bent For Leather Side 1 Starland Vocal Band-Rear View Mirror Side A George Shearing And Hank Jones-The Spirit Of 176 Side 2 Boz Scaggs-Silk Degrees(CBS Half Speed Mastered) Side 2 SQ Audiophile Michael Franks-The Art Of Tea Side 2 SQ Audiophile Jethro Tull-M. U. The Best Of Jethro Tull Side 1 Teena Marie-It Must Be Magic Side 2 Judas Priest and Jethro Tull recordings were average at best regarding SQ. Paul Simon and Michael Franks were the SQ champs tonight. Which was better? Not sure would have to analyze the playback several times IMO both rate a 4.6/5. If your not familiar with Starland Vocal Band’s "other" songs give ’Norfolk" 5+ minutes of your time. |
@dayglow Evan, is the Paul Simon album on any special reissue or is it the standard original issue, Warner Bros. Records, HS3472? And can you see from which pressing plant. That should be indicated in the dead wax. For instance, maybe it shows "Sterling" and W or Winchester for the Winchester pressing plant, or "O" which is for the Jacksonville pressing plant, etc. Please advise. I would like to get a NM/M- copy and try to get the proper pressing based on your evaluation and which copy you have. I really love all that Paul Simon does and I don't have that record. Thank you very much. |

@bkeske I love my iMac. Perfectly functional but I’ve been left way behind on updates and some new stuff I might want is non starter. In fact, it is old enough that I have been quite literally laughed at by the millennial elves on the support line. Photo display sure looks good to me. Good luck with the transition. I dread it but I know the time for it is coming for me too. |
@spiritofradio I may switch to some Christmas tunes later in the day, so best to start off with some metal! Happy Holidays to all my friends here! |
@sbank I got a Low album that can sure perk up my cantilever. |
James, It finally arrived last evening. Of course, before I left for Christmas at moms (I just arrived) I wanted to use Migration Assistance to move everything onto the new iMac last night. After two failed attempts (not sure if it’s because I’m going from Mojave to Monterey, or what), finally pulled my Time Machine drive from my old Mac Pro box, and installed it in a 2 bay enclosure I bought just for this purpose going forward. So, rebooted to recovery mode, and will try to install everything from my old computers Time Machine drive. Left for moms as it was still analyzing everything before the file transfer. Fingers crossed it’s done when I return. What a pain, years and years of business files and emails on the old machine, hopefully that works. @boxer12 On my way down to moms, mostly listened to Lambchop on my drive. Interesting band. Merry Christmas all! 🎄 Glad mom is back in her apartment for Christmas and not in the hospital. |
@dayglow Thank you very much for your effort. I made a purchase of that same variant on the Discogs site. I can buy a new copy, remastered from Sony Legacy (which does a very good job on their remasters) but for just a few dollars less (not that it matters) I got an original in NM condition. Thanks again. |
