Linda Ronstadt-Heart Like A Wheel Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Even with subpar quality power Ms. Ronstadt still delivered winning Audiophile SQ tonight. SQ* very close to Audiophile level. Played Alice’s Restauarant tonight due to it being an AOR radio Thanksgiving staple when I was a kid.

Just finished listening to War of the Worlds - Half-Speed Master recording all the way through (2 LPs)...

after all those years of obscure stuff not ever mentioned in here EVER, I finally played half-speed Breezin’ of George Benson.

I feel it’s the real way to listen to this pretty popular record. I couldn’t resist buying it at thrift store, otherwise I would less-likely have it.

@czarivey A great system is one that makes music you don't really like sound fine.

Ramsey Lewis-Wade In The Water Side 1

Played 4 more of my M- thrift store finds Peggy/Basie/Milt and Ramsey Lewis all were stereo versions with very solid sound. Basie was awarded Audiophile SQ due to very good dynamics. Enjoyed the "Glam Metal" of Kiss and Poison despite many well educated distractors. Another Concord Jazz takes the SQ crown and another recent recording Maggie Rogers(2019) takes last place.
