| Mobile Fidelity 24k CDs @stuartk When Jerry passed, I stopped following the Dead altogether with exception to the Fare The Well concerts in SF. Prior to that, I saw them just four times starting in 82 as well as the only JGB show ever in San Diego. I’ve always had extrao... | |
| Mobile Fidelity 24k CDs @stuartk Totally understand, different stereos render different results. I have Quad 2905 ESL’s and they are very revealing. I will say that ESL’s while great for classical music don’t work all that well with rock/popular music. I wouldn’t say how... | |
| Mobile Fidelity 24k CDs @curiousjim I believe the Gold Archival CD’s have a life expectancy of three hundred years. I personally won’t be around to find out. | |
| Mobile Fidelity 24k CDs @stuartk I believe that ‘Layla’ remaster was relatively recent. If you like Eric kClapton, then I’d recommend the ‘Blind Faith’ remaster from many, many years ago. They did a remix that warrants having, even if the original is highly prized. The o... | |
| Mobile Fidelity 24k CDs @stuartk Agree that MOFI is inconsistent but believe it has a lot to do with the original tapes and whoever does the remastering. I‘m not much of a collector when it comes to popular music, so I rarely purchase MOFI releases but will say that I us... | |
| Mobile Fidelity 24k CDs The only reason to purchase MOFI is for the mix and remastering. I happen to think Analogue Productions does a better job of that than MOFI. Anyway, Gold CD's are archival but they sound like any other CD. Better of buying audiophile CD polish and... | |
| RIP Robbie Robertson What a shame. I often made the argument that 'The Band' is Americas greatest rock/etc... band aside from the Grateful Dead. That probably speaks more to my age than anything else. Anyway, the 60's in general and those who appeared at Woodstock 69 ... | |
| I Hate Moving @mr_m Yeah, wish I had a great pair of headphones. Neighbors are moving in on August 1st so we’ll see. | |
| I Hate Moving Well folks, everything has been relocated to my new apartment. I’m sore, tired and relieved all at the same time. Now I have the dilemma of setting up my stereo and Quad 2905’s and I need to make it happen with considerably less space than I had b... | |
| I Hate Moving @fred60 Sorry you have to sell. You should keep the Thorens, you’ll only get a couple hundred dollars for it. | |
| I Hate Moving @perkri yeah, stereo is first. Me and a friend are taking care of that by ourselves. Then a couple of days later, the movers are taking things, heaviest objects first. I can only afford three hours of movers so after they leave, then whatever is l... | |
| I Hate Moving I gotta downsize. Should I keep my box of Gramophone Magazines? The absolute worse part is carrying vinyl. And books. | |
| I Hate Moving @bondmanp 'I cried because I had no shoes, then I saw a man with no feet.' Wow, your situation is difficult to say the least. Thanks everyone for your input, it feels better knowing that I'm not alone. I believe Sunday afternoon will be move the ... | |
| I Hate Moving @simao My martial arts family will be invited for a house warming party. No fighting inside! | |
| I Hate Moving I do have a hand truck and friend who's willing to help. Pizza, beer, that's the plan. @carlsbad2 Yeah, bubble wrap is slippery so thanks! @ghdprentice When I inherit my folks house, that's my only hope. |
