| Preferred pressing of The Doors: LA Woman LP Thanks- It was tough, but I passed on this. I have no complaints about my standard pressings of the first 3, and Morrison Hotel. LA Woman is close to 50 minutes, where as MH is less than 40 minutes. Perhaps there is a correlation with LAW running ... | |
| Preferred pressing of The Doors: LA Woman LP Kurt_tank, I sold all 3 of my Door's DCC titles. I found the 45's to have more of everything. I also really like my Brown label early pressings of the first 3 albums, and my Red label Morrison Hotel. I could see the DCC's being a nice balance in ... | |
| Preferred pressing of The Doors: LA Woman LP A bit more detail I left out. This is a Pitman Press, not Monarch or Santa Maria. It's the second US LP, as listed on Discogs. So while very early, the Monarch seems to be most sought after. | |
| The Beach Boys I really enjoy Audiogon, and it's really fun getting to share this wonderful hobby with all of you. I'm not sure if I'm just having a bad day, but I truly dislike the direction this thread went. Maybe turning 50 next month has made me more sensit... | |
| The Beach Boys hifigary- Thanks for sharing that. A couple of stops in VT, Boston Symphony Hall, and Tanglewood, just to name a few East coast options. Tanglewood seems to mix in a few non-classical shows each year. I was lucky enough to catch Steely Dan there ... | |
| Do top Idler drive tables fall short to top belt drives in any particular area. Thanks for all so far. Interesting where Mr. Salvatore has the "Unavoidable Caveat" section where he says Idlers have the highest performance potential, BUT require the most attention in order to maintain that level. Can anyone elaborate on that ... | |
| The Beach Boys bdp24- indeed Sunflower is great IMHO. I might go so far as to say, and underappreciated gem. I must ad Good Vibrations at one point. I'd likely grab The Smile Sessions LP from 2011, or Smiley Smile. If the latter, maybe the QRP, as it's not the e... | |
| The Beach Boys +1 bdp24. I spun Sunflower last night. I love this LP. I could see a casual Beach Boys fan listening to this, and not immediately recognizing who it was. I find it quite different than their early material. | |
| Do top Idler drive tables fall short to top belt drives in any particular area. Lewm- Yes it was literally the SAME arm and cartridge (-: | |
| Automatic Tables Thorens TD 145 has Auto-Lift. This is essentially a TD160, but with the vertical auto-lift. So while not fully Automatic, the table has quite a following. | |
| The Beach Boys Great stuff as usual bdp24. QRP will soon to be releasing Smiley Smile. My guess is they decided it sounded good enough to release. They did a fantastic job with Pet Sounds Stereo. It beats the Ron Macmaster hands down. The Macmaster was serviceab... | |
| Dick's / Dave's picks Mars Hotel, American Beauty, Wake of the Flood, Reckoning. Just finally found a clean copy of JG: Reflections. I will be playing that soon. American Beauty on early Green label WB sounds exceptional. The Dick's Pick have been available for a whil... | |
| In Memory of Glenn Frey...Favorite Eagles song? Glen said in an interview with Dan Patrick he held the LP One of these Nights in very high regard. I have to watch again to be sure, but I believe his favorite. I gave it a spin recently, and really like it. I really like Hotel California, but I ... | |
| VPI HW17 vs Loricraft PRC4 Deluxe I use a 16.5, with 1 extra VAC tube, in conjunction with AIVS. If I'm in lazy mode, the AIVS #6 one step, plain and simple. I also like the #15, as Whart mentioned. I designate one Disc Doctor brush just for the #15, as it needs a rinse. When usin... | |
| Dick's / Dave's picks I also really like Reckoning. Just picked up the QRP, and will be comparing to my standard pressing. I have Ladies and Gentleman, Hundred Year Hall, and at least two Dicks Picks on CD. I want to say # 2 and #16. These are pretty much driving music... |
