| Whats on your turntable tonight? I just finished installing my new power cable, Audioquest Blizzard, 3 Meter. I had the same cable in 2 Meter length but it fell short of reach to the Niagara 3000 power conditioner I added a few months ago. The woofer had to connect to a differe... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I have that Ry Cooder album. I had always thought that is sounded a little "bright" and, thus, digital. But still, a solid production and entertaining. Yes Steve, 'The Nightfly' is also a bit tilted up on the top-end, but is so solid everywhere... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Steely Dan 'Countdown To Ecstasy' An early copy from when it was first released. SQ is just so-so, but the music is wonderful.Donald Fagen 'The Nightfly' I got this when it first was released. Excellent SQ...why don't they make all of the ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @bkeske Yes indeed, sometimes the system just seems to sound better on some play sessions than others. Don't know why, but it seems to be the case. Puts a smile on your face, for sure.😊Jade Warrior 'Floating World'Jade Warrior 'Waves'A coup... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? As stated previously, I played 'Aja' that I have a NM copy of from MFSL. Since last playing this album I have made several upgrades to my system. I have never heard it this good, it was amazing! What an excellent album of music and it's product... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Brian, is that the 3-LP box set? | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? big_greg got it right. The level of engineering put into Can't Buy A Thrill was nowhere near the level that was put into later releases from Steely Dan. No matter the copy, it can only sound to a certain (limited) level of quality. It's still ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I have the original 'Can't Buy A Thrill' ABCX-758 and it is good sounding but doesn't qualify as audiophile. ABC was sold to MCA (or something like that) and rumor has it that the Steely Dan albums were less sounding from that point forward. I c... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I too have a copy of Can't Buy A Thrill that I purchased in early 1973. I'm shocked that somehow it has a scratch on side 1, first song ('Do It Again'). Otherwise, in perfect condition. A long cleaning in the ultra sonic machine, hope for the ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @dayglow If you can get your hands on the reissue of Blow By Blow (Acoustic Sounds/QRP 45 RPM) it is well beyond the SQ 4.2 rating you gave to the standard issue. In fact, it's fantastic! I have both and if you are into Jeff Beck then I sugges... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? +1 for Avalon. Great choice MC. It's one of my favorites for ending a late night session. Just float into bed after Avalon. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? My cousin came over for the weekend and brought me a couple of gifts. These will be played tonight!Alice Cooper 'Welcome To My Nightmare' MFSL and using JVC Super Vinyl, in NM condition. Looks like it has never been played. I also have an ori... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @bkeskeBrian, I have that album and my copy is also rather poor SQ. For me, it sounded better on a lesser system in years past. My system today is such a high resolution that I hear the poor SQ that much more so. Either way, it's a wonderful al... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? R.E.M. 'Murmur' I'm glad this group was mentioned a couple of days ago. I forgot I had this album. Good vinyl, very good SQ, and quite a good album of music, too.Phoebe Snow 'Second Childhood' What a great album. Really good SQ.Paul Simon '... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @tomic601 Jim, so sorry to hear of your incident. Very wise to use a helmet. They are lifesavers, for sure. A helmet saved my life about 7 years ago, too. I hope that your pain is short lived and you get back to full health, quickly.You'll be... |
