Whats playing on your system today?
Thx Nutty! I just recorded an album on it from Quboz hires and it sounds REAL good played back so heads are in great shape. One reason I took a chance, these glassxtal heads in the Akai of that time period are near indestructible! And it looks ultra cool as it stands on end and looks all the world like a mini R2R player! Fact it would be cool to have an Akai R2R right next to it! Good times ahead....... |
Boxer: Came across this article in the local paper, yesterday. The photo is from City Park, very close to where I live. Touches on The Revivalists. https://www.theadvocate.com/gambit/new_orleans/news/clancy_dubos/article_025c0df6-41b7-11e9-8fff-6b8... |
Thank you for sharing that David. Feeling kind of envious about where you live. Right now we still have snow on the ground. Last week it was single digit cold outside. My wife & I will more than likely move somewhere warmer in a few years. uber, That is a great album from them, which is odd as most bands tend to burn out toward the end of there existence.

My goodness, I was all over the place today. Started the day with 2 live performances of the Berliner Philharmoniker (Digital Concert Hall subscription) of Shoenberg Violin Concrto and Orchestra, op. 36 by violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja, and Tchaikovsky Symphony #5, both conducted by Kirin Potrenko. The second performance was 4 pieces by Patricia Kopatchinskaja and was very unique, to say the least. All that was my system in HT mode, in other words, both listening and watching live. After that, I flipped over to 2 channel and played 4 albums on vinyl, 3 Byrd’s; Fifth Dimension, The Notorious Byrd Brothers, and Sweetheart of the Rodeo. The 4th vinyl was Neil Young; On The Beach. Then turned on the CD player and finished with CD#7 of the Royal Concertbegouw Anthology Set #5 of Schreker, Skryabin, Verese, and two by Escher. Hows that for diversity? |

Today I am listening to some very high quality early stereo albums from the old Command Record Label. These were recorded in 1961 and 1962. The name of the album(s) is(are) Provocative Percussion 3 & 4. They are available on Tidal, but not Qobuz. It it brings back old memories. I used to listen with my father in the early days of stereo. It is difficult to believe this quality was possible more than 55 years ago. They were recorded on 35mm film rather than magnetic tape which they claim ,because of the sprockets, eliminates flutter and wow. |

Mark Knopfler - Get Lucky. So well produced. Could be a system reference work for me. And then there is the song "Get Lucky". In general I'm into more serious and even sometimes dark stuff, which Knopfler provides plenty of and always has. But the song "Get Lucky" towards the end of the album always lifts my spirits even when I perfectly content to be in a bad mood. |
