All 3 recordings are on CD, using a mint vintage Technics SL-P500(1986) with flagship Audio Magic Natural IC's. Creates a very quiet black background that's tightly midrange focused. Not as extended/resolving/spacious as my North Star Design Sapphire but the Technics has it's charms! Will switch to vinyl later tonight.

In the middle of my play list...
Aerosmith-Get A Grip
Cinderella-Still Climbing
Arcade-ST
Silver Chair-Freak Show
Baroness-Blue Record
Have not listened to "Get A Grip" in it’s entirety for more then 10 years! A great classic Aerosmith recording better IMO then Permanent Vacation or Pump, clearly the last great Aerosmith album! "Freak Show" by Silver Chair is an overlooked very dark post grunge masterpiece. |
Matthew Sweet-Girlfriend(CD) is warming up my system for vinyl night. |
Peter Cincotti/ST(CD) A mellow but intense pop/jazz excursion! A great warm up for vinyl night! |
Angra-Secret Garden(Japanese CD VICP-65276 2012)
A Brazilian band very similar to Dream Theater with dynamics/tempo changes/spaciousness and extreme guitar solos. Easily a top 25 metal/prog recording over the last 10 years! |
Insomnium-Shadows Of The Dying Sun(Japanese CD MICP-11159 2014)
A Finnish metal band described as melodic death metal? IMO I hear symphonic metal but I’m not an expert in metal genre labeling. The lyrics are buried in the mix but you do notice a slight growl even with the clean vocals which should be non offensive to classic(only) metal fans. This recording would sound great on large "symphonic" type speakers, the Magnepan 20.7 comes to mind. Overall 4/5. |
David Sanborn-Songs From The Night Before
The Doobie Brothers-Livin’ On The Fault Line(SHM-CD)
