| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl Fjn- easiest way is to look on the label of the record- the Monarch's are distinguished by an 'MO' suffix after the catalog number. There are other indicia as well. There are several places on the web that discuss how to identify a Monarch, which ... | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl I don't have any Classic pressings of LZII, but the Classic 45 of LZ 1 is an impressive listen; the Classic 33's of 1 and III are very good, though I still prefer the older Piros/Monarch remaster of LZ1 to the Classic 33 of that album. I did break... | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl NB. "quite" should be "quick" in the above posting; I don't get why the 'edit post' function doesn't work!#$^*:) | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl Thanks for the kinds words, Jeff. I haven't gotten around to III yet, but I did a quite comparison of LZ II which I just posted on the Hoffman forum. Here it is verbatim, omitting the picture:I just compared a very clean 'RL' SS/narrow side two (P... | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl Moryoga: to your point, and as more grist for bitchin,' after all the controversy over the Beatles vinyl set released a couple years ago derived from a digital master, they are now being released as mono pressings, purportedly straight analog, no ... | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl A few quick observations on listening to the first two tracks of LZ 1, admittedly a 'once through' with each of the different records mentioned below.The new vinyl sounds very good, quiet and has no apparent digital artifacts that stand out- somet... | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl Mike: I have never heard the Classic (either 33 or 45) of LZ II. At this point in the game, I'd probably just go for the 45 if it was find-able. My comments re the 'RL' really don't lean toward 'fuzzy' but I can understand 'muddy': at least on the... | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl Moryoga: I think the 'muddy' sound of LZII (at least on several tracks) is due to the huge amount of crude processing done when the album was originally assembled- you can hear the overdubs and the layering of different tracks- it is very evident ... | |
| What time do you wear? And what watch do you carry in your wallet, Albert? :) | |
| What time do you wear? Out of all the watches I've owned over the years, fancy and non-fancy, my go to is a big ol' Panerai, simple, with black face, white hands, i've replaced the tan leather strap several times from wear; I crashed on a motorcycle wearing this watch 1... | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl I won't mention Iron Butterfly. Rock on. :) | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl Gotcha. I didn't see the OP's comment about the Who. My apologies for appearing to be a thread nazi. Too bad you don't appreciate Zep. I didn't get Black Sabbath or Alice Cooper until recently, and have now gotten immersed into early pressings of ... | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl Rockit- back in NY as of a week ago, at least for the summer-fall. Will follow up with you offline, i would love to hear your system at some point. Best to all, | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl Guys: don't you think the endless debate over CD v vinyl is not only beside the point here, but moot, given that with these reissues, you can pick your format- vinyl, CD, Hi-Rez?Czarivey- were you actually serious that you thought this newest LZ1 ... | |
| Gingko Isolation platforms I did an extensive comparison more than a year ago of various 'footers' under the tube power supply to my phono stage. The differences were noticeable, and not all for the better. Among the products I compared were:Herbie's footers (made the sound... |
