@bkeske i have this one with the 1958 9th.

Great symphony, and performance. The Everest release is really pretty spectacular.

For whatever reason, it followed Sibelius (4-7) nicely as well.

Aunt Sally “s/t” Mesh-Key 2022 reissue of Vanity Records Japan 1979 release

The Plungers “Let’s Get Twisted” Intensive Scare 1979

Roy Montgomery “Rhymes Of Chance” Grapefruit 2021

The ladies of blues have stolen my heart.

Layla Zoe. - Breaking Free

Very versatile blues. This is the first song on the album. If you like Zep, you will like this song. But it's just one of her styles

 

 

 

Alt-J "An Awesome Wave"

This is their 1st album and seems to be their best.

I’m seeing it for $99 and up most places, but one seller on eBay has

them for around $29 if you’re interested. No, not affiliated with seller, just glad I got a good deal, and sharing the info.

I don't know about my turntables, usually a 1960s 1970s golden age stereo LP such as DECCA, Everest or Mercury, Teldec etc. But I certainly know what's in my CD Player at the moment : Nino Rota "Concertos" CHANDOS (CHAN 9954). I came across Rota outside his film score persona at the Le Suquet Musique Festival in Cannes. It was there on a hot August evening (tickets from the Cannes Film Festival box office) I was captivated by Rota's "Concerto per archi" playful elegant chamber music played to perfection by an ensemble led by Jean-Pierre Rampal. These concertos played by I Virtuoso Italian/Mario Conti are just as dreamy as the string concerto - and, to my ears, much better performed than I'Musici's Philips recording from 1985. The sound quality was f the Chandos CD being based on a 24 Bit SBM transfer to CD is much better than the Philips too with a tangible stereo sound stage.

It's desert island jazz workday:

Roland Kirk - The Inflated Tear

Bill Evans Trio - Waltz For Debby

Monk & Coltrane Quartet - Live at Carnegie Hall

Oscar Trio - Night Train

Wayne Shorter - The All Seeing Eye (might be my fav Tone Poet release, Herbie's brilliant on this)

Puffball, Was streaming "Movietone" earlier. Great music, Thanks!

Waltersalas, +2 for "Sparklehorse". "It's a wonderful life" is right up there with my all-time favorites.

James, Nice cartridge/arm pic!

 

Robert Fripp / God save the king  

Norah Jones/ Pick Me Up Off The Floor.

This looks like the safest place in this forum.....

Got another pair of headphones today. LSA HP-3 Nova. Really great out of the box!

Charles Lloyd-Forest Flower 2016 Speakers Corner

Bill Evans-At The Montreux Jazz Festival 1968 Verve

Billy Squier-Signs Of Life Side 2 

Rickie Lee Jones-The Magazine Side 2 SQ Audiophile

Eurythmics-Touch Side 2 SQ Audiophile

Gene Watson-Honky Tonk Crazy Side 2 SQ*

Gary Moore-Victims Of The Future Side 2

Dazz Band-"Joystick" Side 1 SQ*

Blue Rodeo-Outskirts Side 2 SQ*

Miami Vice-VA Side 2

Part 2 of 80's vinyl night had better SQ results. The 3 SQ* were on the edge of Audiophile status. I would need to play both sides and have "cleaner" power then tonight for a decision. SQ of Magazine and Touch would rate a 4.5/5 I would give the SQ edge to Touch due to the vocal projection giving the recording a solid 3D effect. 

@slaw Steve, high end headphones are a hoot! You know you’ll have to upgrade the cords. <hehe>

Bill,

I’ve realized already how valuable a balance control can be beneficial. As you mentioned in another thread.
