| Any fans of Jordi Savall? What is there on vinyl? Hi - I have had quite a lot of Savall on vinyl, and frankly I think the Astree lp's are overrated. I have kept very few Astree of any artist. The Savall that I enjoy most is the Hesperion XX on EMI, but also his albums on Telefunken in the "Musiqu... | |

| Blue Note reissues as an investment? A few years ago I spent about $90 for the reissue of Rossini's Sonate A Quatro (Accardo on violin) on Philips which was advertised as limited to 1000 numbered copies. Well, about a nine months later, numbers 1001 to 2000 started popping up for sal... | |
| Blue Note reissues as an investment? Hi - Oops, for some reason, that set showed up in my search for lp's but I didn't open it to read the description. You can see a list of many past auctions here:http://www.popsike.com/php/quicksearch.php?pagenum=1&searchtext=mclean+mosaic&... | |
| Blue Note reissues as an investment? There's a lot of randomness on Ebay, and i didn't see the auction you're referring to but that result would be a rare one. The McLean Blue Note sets have averaged around $270-$280 for years. One just went in March for $270, and there's one up righ... | |
| Blue Note reissues as an investment? Classic Records, Analogue Productions, Mosaic, Music Matters - they're just going to keep coming. There will always be supply to fill any major void in demand. Frankly, I think the LP craze peaked (pricewise) in 2006. I have close to 200 sealed re... | |
| I just went up two notches in resolution Hey - I wouldn't knock the Outlaw stuff either. It's probably the most underrated / overlooked new audio equipment out there. Their design philosophy is extremely sound, specs are top notch, and build is excellent. The only things Outlaw lacks are... | |
| Japanese Vinyl? I have some unbelievably dynamic Pro-Use Series' that reproduce piano amazingly (for example "Jun Fukamachi At Steinway" is the most dynamic piano recording I've ever heard). I don't think any compression or peak-limiting was used at all, which WI... | |
| Japanese Vinyl? The Japanese vinyl that is really great are the lp's that are recorded, mastered and manufactured in Japan. Labels like Three Blind Mice, Yupiteru, AudioLab, Toshiba Pro-Use, RCA Direct Cutting Series, etc. These tend to be jazz labels.Everything ... | |
| What is the difference in a 2 eye and 6 eye record The "eyes" on the labels are actually microphones, but it looks kind of like an eye, hence the nickname. "Six-Eye" just has more of a ring to it than "Six-Mic" I guess. Eventually, CBS actually started using an eye as its logo instead for broadcas... | |
| Reiner RCA "Sheherazade" LP Hi - Don't know why the clickable link got truncated in my previous post. Here it is again: http://www.high-endaudio.com/SR-BASIC4.html#SchIf this one still doesn't take you there directly, look for the actual link titled "RIMSKY-KORSAKOFF/SCHEHER... | |
| Reiner RCA "Sheherazade" LP The reissues come up from time to time - just have to be patient, but it's not likely you'll get a VG+ or better original for $40. There IS a sealed Classic reissue available in Ebay stores right now for $49.95. Search Google occasionally in addit... | |
| Denver record store s with Classical vinyl? Thanks for the Twist and Shout recommendation. The classical selection wasn't huge but still got some nice items at great prices. A few examples:Mengelberg - St. Matthew's Passion, a pretty sought after 3 lp set on Philips for $2.99Rossini Sonatas... | |
| Denver record store s with Classical vinyl? Hi - Thanks, I'll stop in there tomorrow. I'm here now, and actually found 2 nice LPs in the Goodwill on S. Broadway:Propinquity - which is pretty rare indie out of Boulder from 1972, and the original Funkadelic album on Westbound/Janus. So I'm al... |
