Devo - Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!

@big_greg, excellent choice! You strike me as maybe a Front 242 listener?
@dabel Actually, no. I've heard of them, but am not familiar with their music. I'm in the process of cataloguing all my records in Discogs and am working my way through the letter D. Play grading them all, if I haven't already.

Pablo Casals In Concert. With Paul Szabo cello, Mieczyslaw Horszowski piano, Georges Janzer viola, Sándor Végh & Sándor Zöldy violin. Recorded at the Prades Festival. Murray Hill Records 3LP box 1972
|
Joan Armatrading S/T, pp edition.
Paul Simon "One Trick Pony" pp edition.
John Lee Hooker "It Serve You Right To Suffer" Analogue Productions, QRP 45 rpm double disc set. It amazes me how much information, of the smallest minutia, was preserved in those old tapes and how AP was able to master such an excellent production.

Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells 1973 Virgin Records
Todd Rundgren's Utopia - S/T 1974 Bearsville Records

Woah,... been such a long time without firing the TT. Streaming only lately but had some time today so dropped some platters. Peter Green, "In The Skies" - so smooth & with a (semi) clear head, Gary Moore, "How Blue Can You Get" & Son Volt, "Electro Melodier" (growing on me). Maybe sneak in a couple LPs tonight too after the Football game. Gotta find more time for vinyl.
|
Brian, I just caught up on the thread. So nice to hear that you received your new preamp and that you're liking it very much. It's beautiful! Congrats to you, enjoy it in good health.
|
Thanks Joel, it really has knitted together all my equipment, just as a good pre should. I am very pleased. Everything has been elevated by its inclusion. Some subtle, some not so subtle.

Stevie Ray Vaughn-Couldn't Stand The Weather Side 2 SQ*
Queen-A Day At The Races Side 1
Delia Bell-ST Side 2
Another well balanced night playing different genres. All recordings were above average regarding SQ. Asia had the weakest SQ which caught me by surprise as well as Mtume being the SQ champ just edging out Sue Raney. If you will consider sophisticated R&B/Funk/Fusion as interesting give this recording your time. SRV* I have heard this recording sound better then tonight. This is my original pressing bought new could be anything from power quality to room acoustics?

Thanks Brian! Believe me, I did think about tubes, but still desire bypass, and my options tube-wise were pretty limited. After consulting with Johnny Rutan, who also carry’s a tube pre with bypass, he empathetically recommended the Belles Signature over that or the standard Aria, so, I followed Johnny’s guidance. And it marries with my old Belles amp and Treo’s wonderfully. David, IMO, is amazing voicing his rigs, and the last thing I think of is SS when listening. All his stuff is very ‘musical’. I kinda figured I would go that route, which made the Hagerman Trumpet MC tube phono pre a strong candidate when I chose that.
Yea, I’m pleased. I feel like my system is now whole.
