| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @flash56 I recently read about the TB and the hospital stay. It said that he wrote over 40 songs while there. I don't know why I didn't know any of this stuff way back when. You'd think it would have been big news but it was also a time when my ... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? Some great info. Thanks. Now, I have more to look for. I do not have Mona Bone Jakon. I think I had it on 8 track or possibly cassette ages ago but it is no longer in my collection. It was not a favorite of mine, as I recall or I would have replac... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @sls883 Heard the other October Project, Falling Farther In. I enjoyed it. I think I liked the first one (more dynamic, I thought) a bit better but both were good. I'll have to watch for the other ones that I found. Thanks for the info on them. | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @bdgregory Jan Hammer. I could see that. I think my son may have it. Will have to check. | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @flash56 OK, so I got to hear the German Island pressing of TFTT. It is solid blue label, not pink. One side has a dark blue label and other side has a light blue one, kind of odd. It has the same issues as the pink rim Island. Loss of detail. T... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? Chris Thanks, that's pretty interesting. That song is the first on Side B of the record that I have. It's different than the other Opus 3's, in that the jacket is rough paper, not glossy like the others. The recordings are very revealing of a liv... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @sls883 Cool, thanks. I noticed a couple others on Amazon. I'll probably have them all at some point. So......is the self titled one their first? It has a photo of someone with a shopping bag over their head, looks like a poor kid's halloween co... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @sls883 I have not found The Ghost of Childhood. Maybe it isn't available? I do have another coming called falling farther in..........I think. Will post after I get to hear it. Having never heard of them before, I was pleasantly surprised. | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? Make that learning, not learing. I sure do a lot of typos. Sorry. | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @flash56 The pink label is the best that I have. The next best is the pink rim Island but it shares some of the same characteristics as the A&M's. It's as if it's a version of the A&M's but done better, if that makes any sense. Any Islan... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @dogberry That's pretty cool. Mine is Therese Juel, title Levande. How is it that you were in contact with her? People on here never cease to amaze me. I used to feel the same way about my old friends on the Vinyl Asylum. I'm pretty sure most ... | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @sls883 Picked up an October Project cd, looks to be self titled? I enjoyed it. Have another one on the way. Lots of deep bass and nice dynamics. Thanks. | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @inna Got the Elend Umbersun cd. Very strange. Gave it to my son. He kind of likes it. The Karajan's are almost always good. I have a few. | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @dogberry I've been doing similarly. Sorting into groups that I am likely to listen to, those that I will never listen to and so on. The biggest part of the collection is probably ones that I used to listen to but grew tired of, or that have too... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? Ace was the worst live band I've ever seen or heard. Kind of a one hit wonder but they were terrible live. |
