Jackson Browne "Hold Out"

1980/Elektra/Asylum 

This album sounds so good the more you turn it up!

BTW, I like round records 

 

My quibbles about the Audia Flight are diminishing.

Ozark Mountain Daredevils "It'll Shine When It Shines" 

pp/A&M/Glyn Johns

Hey Bill,

Really think the adapters for the volume control that needed XLR to RCA, needed time to break in as well, and I’ve accounted for that in my mind. I splurged on the expensive Cardas. They are very short in length machined out of bronze then gold plated. Not low mass but solid connection.

Interesting choice of materials by Cardas.

Mike Oldfield / Ommadawn
1975 Virgin

Found next to O&ITW in the rack, neglected for the past 45 plus years…

And next to (recently played) Tubular Bells:

Oingo Boingo / Only A Lad
1981 A&M

I’m in the “O”s too Steve, was going Outlaws next but you swayed me towards the Daredevils. 😎

Old & In The Way / Old & In The Way
1975 Round Records

OMG, Bluegrass!

Nice! Love that album. Its been on my Discogs want list for a long time. Many of my friends had it back in the 70's, but I never purchased a copy. Now they are $$$

@slaw 

Yea, I would not use the 10+ gain. I run my MIMC at 60db and that is more than enough for the lo SS carts IMO. As I told you, I tried 64, but it was a tad too much. 60 is quieter. I also tried 55, but preferred no cranking the preamp up that much, albeit I could, and it would be more quiet as well. Peter recommends 58-64.

My 2nd copy of Best of the J. Geils Band.  I thought for sure the one I played yesterday would be the "keeper" of the two, a really nice German pressing, but I think this one sounds even better.  Their early stuff was so good.  In my vexperience.  That was just a typo, not a new word I made up, LOL.

"What’s Going On"

Side 3 & 4. One side stripped down, the other mono mixes

Sounds great BTW.

Just arrived,

ELO "Eldorado" MFSL /2021

Hey Brian, as a Jerry G. fan O&ITW will round out your collection! 😊

No doubt about it Bill. I’ll get it eventually. One of my favorite albums ‘back in the day’.

He has a new DAC that seems to be taking up much of his listening time (digital). He is really enjoying it, it seems.
