| Anyone else treated poorly by AVA? Damn, Frank must be pretty darn old now. In the mid-80’s I sent him my Dynaco PAS pre-amp to have him install his mod, and he was at least middle-aged then. He already looked a lot like Bill Johnson, iirc. Real fine designer imo, very value orient... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? When given the choice, I’ve chosen the 33-1/3 versions of albums. The artistic intent of an album side is more important to me than is the slightly better sound provided by 45 RPM, especially in the case of an album such as Pet Sounds (not a very ... | |
| The Vinyl Community's Mazzy's new "Cease & Desist" YouTube video. Me, "help" the audiophile community? First, I don’t presume to have anything in the way of help for that community; I am not nearly as concerned with my music playback system as is the typical audiophile. "It’s about the music" may be a cliche’, b... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Well, who woulda thought the Santana album could sound that good? Eliminating those two steps provides a marked increase in transparency, or at least that is what has been reported by people with rather high standards. We shall see!I have scratche... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Your surprise in justified and understandable @slaw. I made statements a while back about what I considered the folly of issuing "audiophile" LP pressings of albums whose recorded sound quality made such a pressing the equivalent of putting lipsti... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Cool @reubent. David Mansfield can be seen in the film Heaven’s Gate, playing in the band at the dance in the tent. He looks about 15 years old! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Today I received notice from Mobile Fidelity of the upcoming UltraDisc One-Step LP of Carole King's Tapestry album. I haven't loved any of the previous One-Step titles enough to spend $125 (if I had known the Santana would now be selling for over ... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear While T Bone Burnett is a pretty well known name, it is more for his production work (the O Brother, Where Art Thou soundtrack, Elvis Costello's King Of America album, Peter Case's debut, many others) than his own albums.The first I heard of Burne... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Glad to be of help @artemus_5 ! You make a couple of great points, including the matter of a band being entertaining. NRBQ's albums contain a fair amount of humor, but live is a whole 'nother matter. They are by far the most fun band I've seen liv... | |

| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! Every LP is of course the end product of a number of separate manufacturing steps. And the term "master tape" has a couple of equally valid definitions: since the introduction of first the 3-track machine---then the 4-track, 8-track, 16-track, etc... | |

| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear @richopp: Yes! Direct-2-discs LP’s are the highest-fidelity music source I’ve heard. And not just Sheffields; I have a few on Crystal Clear and Vandersteen that are equally great.@mattz: If you read all the entries on this thread, you’ll find a pr... | |
