| 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. | |
| What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes? @flash56 I finally got to hear the pink label Island copy of TFTT. I think it's safe to say that it is the best version that I have and I now have about 7 copies in 6 versions. Still waiting for a German pressed Island copy. Maybe that will be e... | |
| What are we hearing below 20hz? @roxy54 Yes, my AR 9's cause considerable vibration in my listening room as well. The hardwood floor vibrates at times, interesting sensation. What did you hear at the same time? I hear very low bass, according to the test record, I was hearing ... | |
| What are we hearing below 20hz? So, has anyone ever heard or felt the presence of the 64 foot organ pipe? I have not but would like to. Hard to imagine when the organist hits that note, that the crowd hears nothing. That would be very odd. Anyone?????????? Also something that f... | |
| Anyone wear gloves to handle vacuum tubes? Interesting responses. Thanks I'll keep doing what I've done, which is mostly using cloth gloves. If I don't, I wipe them down with soft cotton cloth. I don't normally handle them when hot/warm but if I do, I have used the gloves. They don't seem... | |
| What stylus do Shure V15 users prefer? Thanks all. SAS seems to be the winner. | |
| Anyone wear gloves to handle vacuum tubes? @hilde45 Got it. |
