| What would you do? In my own system, I've got tube line stage and phono preamps, and solid-state power amp; that works well for me.... | |
| Robert Plant I've seen Led Zep about 3 times between 1969 and 1977, and while they were always good shows, the playing could get a big 'sloppy'. I also saw a couple of Page and Plant tours, and those were awesome; I liked those better than the LZ ones; the pla... | |
| Imagine If You Will..... Actually, that's a pretty cool concept no matter who the artist is....👍 | |
| Any other fans of Crack the Sky? Yes, I liked that kind of 'art-pop' in the mid-70's like Crack the Sky, City Boy, 10cc, and a number of others..... | |
| Is it important to long demo or own HIGH END gear to have a fair accurate view about it? Some conclusions can be legitimately and logically/rationally reached, and some not so much.... | |
| High quality recordings any genre @normb - I've got the Steely Dan 'Aja' UHQR, and yes, if it's an album you're a fan of and you want to hear it the best you will be able to outside of a reel-to-reel, and you don't mind paying $150 to do so, I and many others would say 'Yes, it's ... | |
| Going from MM to MC @lewm - agreed about MM cartridges; I've got a Clearaudio Charisma cart which is a $2000 MM and sounds perfect for my system; totally rocks.... | |
| Do Poor Quality Modern Pressings Provide Any Value? Totally agree with you, @j-wall - I think I may have heard about GZ on one of the VMP podcasts for the Miles Davis set; there were 4 of them, and I think they discussed this on either the 2nd or 3rd one. | |
| Do Poor Quality Modern Pressings Provide Any Value? Hi @j-wall - I wish I could find that article or video where the fellow from Vinyl Me Please addressed the concerns about GZ pressing, and how GZ did such an awesome job on the Miles set and some others from VMP. But he's the one that mentioned t... | |
| Do Poor Quality Modern Pressings Provide Any Value? I saw some discussion of that, and it seems that a lot of poorly recorded source material is also pressed at GZ as well. Garbage in, garbage out, I suppose. | |
| Do Poor Quality Modern Pressings Provide Any Value? GZ pressed the VMP Miles Davis - The Electric Years box set. These are pristine sounding recordings - read other reviews of this set; most everybody considers these to be at least as good, if not better, than the MoFi ones.... | |
| High quality recordings any genre Another great one to check out for vinyl is Vinyl Me Please - they have some really awesome exclusive content, like this big box set of Miles Davis-The Electric Years, a beautiful package which has remastered versions of his studio albums from 'In... | |
| Grateful Dead Dave's Pick's Volume 48 ......time to put a fork in this ! @stuartk - ah yes, Donna; she could be very good, like on 'Sunrise', but I've always got my finger on the volume button when a version of 'Playing In The Band' starts up that she's on; before she joined, I never thought, 'what that song needs is s... | |
| High quality recordings any genre Try audiophile websites like Elusive Disc or Acoustic Sounds; there are a number of these and they specialize in great sounding, well-mastered recordings. | |
| "Hardly Used / Less than 100 Hours / Took out for pics only"???? @secretguy + 1 🤣 |
