@bkeske ,
Brian, I finally put in another resistor, well actually I'm using a supplied jumper to give me 980 ohms which was your first suggestion and it finally made sense to me to try the highest value and listen for a while to hear (that) difference then make any other changes later. System was off since Sunday and just been on an hour but the soundstage is wide and the music is extended like I was hoping for. More to come hopefully. Got the Freya+ in and some vintage tubes, so excited for future listening.

Nice Steve. I’ve tried lower (470) with the MIMC, but 1,000 brings out everything. Lots of punch, and as you say, everything is ‘bigger’.
Still wish I had an option for 850, as I have a feeling that would be about perfect.
Have fun with further experimentation. A Freya+ ? That should be interesting, many like it.

Fabulous album, content, sonics, everything. A reference disc here and a ‘go to’ when visitors ask me to “play something”. It can’t always be Aja! 😎

frankie miller, high life-- overlooked white soul belter who clearly influenced rod stewart and bob seger, though i think he's a better singer than either. does pretty well with the songwriting, too.
elvis costello, the delivery man--for my money his best post 80s record, mainly because he tries harder to be a rocker than a crooner
willie dixon, i am the blues--it's curious he never shows up on the GOAT songwriter list. i generally prefer his takes on these classics to the heavyhanded doors/cream/zep covers.

High I am in a yes mood Fragile and Close to the Edge. Question has any one listen to the new half speed master of The Who's Tommy done at Abbey road studio?
|
A couple of weeks ago we were discussing the reissue of Talking Heads, 'Speaking In Tongues'. It's back in stock now at Acoustic Sounds, as of today. The SQ is excellent on this recording and the vinyl quality and pressing is also excellent and quiet. At least, my copy is. And I tend to believe that is the case, in general. This is a really good one and a good value price, too at $24.98.
Hope this helps.

Reality strikes with only 2/8 Audiophile SQ recordings tonight. Nash/Crosby great live recording with Audiophile SQ that is almost forgotten. I purchased it on a hunch after hearing a few Youtube vids. Really enjoyed Bette St. Claire like to find an original 1958 Stereo pressing. YES-Yes takes the SQ crown clearly a Top 50 pop/rock recording of the 1970’s.

Correction. Bette St. Claire-At Basin Street East was released in 1960 on Seeco CELP 4560(stereo) CELP 456(mono). The 1987 repress(Spain) played last night on Fresh Sound Records FSR 553. Just want to get the facts straight unlike Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab!
|
Golden Earring - Moontan. This is the Music On Vinyl turquoise RSD limited edition. It sounds really good for MOV and being on colored vinyl. More dynamic than the 1974 MCA reissue I listened to yesterday and the vinyl is super quiet. The songs are also in their original order, whereas the MCA reissue has different songs (from this version and the original) on it.
|
@jek05 ,
Welcome to this thread. There are a few here who have remarked on "Live at Leeds " Abbey Road but don’t recall anyone mentioning Tommy. Check out youtube, 45RPMAudiophile’ channel. He recently talked about it.
|
The Beatles - Revolver An issue from around 1970. Cleaned it up and considering how many times it was on a console stereo it isn't too bad. Superb music.
The Babys - Head First An often overlooked late 70s band.
The Cars - The Cars Nautilus reissue; a great debut album, for sure.
Gino Vannelli - Powerful People MoFi Original Master Recording. Awesome album, so very entertaining. And this is from when MoFi only did it with master tapes😋
|
Hey Joel,
I love The Baby's. I always pull out Broken Heart. I think they were a little edgier on that one.
|
Hey Steve, I also have Broken Heart. I'll have to pull that one out and play it soon, too. It's a great album, as I recall.

Enjoy the DAC, truly and honestly. But no reason to toss your analog front-end and vinyl collection. And no reason to stick your thumb up at us, either🤷♂️.
