I like most classic and modern rock also, too bad it's usually not recorded as well as the audiophile stuff. |
I just listened to the CD today, and it sure is great. I've not seen it on vinyl, sorry. Do you have the Classic Records LP's from Sarah? Kinda "oversmooth" but very good nonetheless. I wish she would leave her husband, and marry me, heh heh heh. |
Glad to see you like Sarah McLachlin. "Mirror Ball" is a great live album, give it a listen. I have most of the vinyl you list also. |
DG: Is this the same Steve Smith that was Journey's drummer? Do you know him? AG: Forgive my stupidity, but what does "IMHO" mean? |
I just have Journey. What are the best 2 or 3 CD's from SS? Drummers are cool, but don't you have some hearing loss? Drums are extremely loud. |
DRUMSGREG: Thanks very much for the info, I'll have to check those out! I'm sure it's been rewarding for you to play the drums for so long. Keep it up! ALBERT: If you can lower yourself to my level in vinyl...just thought I'd let you know how much better I like my Benz LO4 than my Glider. It's not a $10,000 cartridge like yours, but my analog rig will be as good or better than yours SOMEDAY WHEN I CAN AFFORD IT. My interconnect might be better than yours now, but I'm sure that Aesthetix Io of yours is very awesome. Does yours have the stepped attenuators, and do you drive the power amps directly with it (that's how I'd do it for sure)? Do you have the Jacintha "Here's to Ben" LP? Very smooth, but also compressed/mixed sounding. MY FAVORITE ACOUSTIC GUITAR RECORDING IS Analog Production's reissue of "Bola Sete: Tour de Force". IT WOULD DEFINITELY CONVINCE ANYBODY OF THE SUPERIORITY OF VINYL TO CD...don't know about SACD or DVD-A...not that it'll be in those formats in this decade! |
I've been spending too much money on EVERYTHING lately, and I'm about broke. I thought you had the Onyx Platinum...my mistake. Anyhow, I recently bought a used pair of MIT Shotgun EVO RCA (Robert Harley's preferred cable), and I got a great price on it! I haven't heard your Dominus RLS, but I do believe this MIT would give it a run for it's money...at the very least. I'm using it between phono stage and linestage. HAPPY LISTENING, and also buy all the new 45 rpm's from Classic Records...I WAS QUAKING IN MY SEAT from one of Mike Fremer's favorites, Balalaika Favorites on 45 rpm. THE BASS IS LIKE "OTHERWORLDLY" IN ITS DEEP EXTENSION...reminded me of my 48 kHz DAT recordings of nature with my condensor microphone. And Balalaika Favorites ISN'T EVEN A RECORDING THAT FEATURES DEEP BASS!!! Surely these reissues will fetch more $$ than original 33 rpms, at least beginning a few years from now...maybe. |
I have the Sonny Meets Hawk reissue, but haven't cleaned it yet. The CD is killer, so the vinyl will be even better. I have most of the 45 rpm reissues, and will be getting the rest. I recently bought the Decca "Schubert-Krips: The Great" 2045, and it's THE BEST DECCA I'VE EVER HEARD. It's a reissue, but I'm not sure from which reissue label. STRING TONE IS EXEMPLORY for a Decca. And also, as you probably already know, Dave Brubeck's "Time Out" might be the best jazz piano recording in existence. The 33 rpm reissue from Classic is killer, and I'll be getting the 45 rpm of it also. |
Greg, sorry I haven't picked any of them up yet, and am spending much time trying to decide on power cords for my amp right now. |

Garfish: Which Loreena McKinnitt CD had the single that got so much radio airplay about a year and a half ago? |
OK, thanks. I'll check it out. |
Not "Surfacing", "Fumbling Towards Ecstacy". Meg Ryan is good, but with Sarah you'd have it all. For looks only, I'd go with one with less years, like Jennifer Grant. |
