@middlemass  When seeking out the Wilson remix of Aqualung be absolutely certain to get the one that is a very thick Gatefold and has 25 pages of incredible information and pictures inside, bound as part of the package.  I don't know if there is a...

@middlemass  I am so glad that it worked out well for you.  The Wilson remixes are really quite good.  Example; my 70s U.S. pressing of Aqualung also sounds like a 1960 transistor radio and the Wilson remix is a true high fidelity record.  The sam...

Thanks Steve.  I see the EMI meters/testers for around $130 for a new one.  I'll look to find a good condition used one and go from there.  I think it would be fun to check the line when I feel the music is sounding better.  As well, to check the ...

I'm curious now and would like to get an EMI meter.  I have no idea what is on the grid and at my power panel (especially with the heat in Southern California and so many air conditioners running all day).  I have an Audioquest Niagara 3000 for my...

I saw the Flying Burrito Brothers in concert at The Swing Auditorium in San Bernardino.  I believe that was 1971.  I really enjoyed the concert.  They weren't the headliner, I forget who that was.  Something good, I saw a ton of fabulous concerts ...

@mwinkc   I think that you will find just as great of a sound quality difference when comparing your original copy of Graceland to the remastered/reissue 25th Anniversary Edition.  If you really like that album (I certainly do) and choose to make ...

I'm with @millercarbon on this one.  Night time audio sounds better than daytime audio.
