Uber I had the good luck to see UFO when they were in their prime with Schenker and Pete Way. Awesome show. |
MSG was good too. I saw UFO twice, once with Schenker and Way, once without. One show was quite a bit less awesome than the other.
On another note (no pun intended), the Pass phono stage is working out really nice. I have one of my least best carts on the SL 1200 MK2, the Shure V15 Type IV with JICO SAS, and Dylan and the Band sound great. I could never get that cart to sing before. |

I bought a new (to me) Pass Labs XP-15 phono stage and have been trying out different cartridges with it. My Denon 301 MKII sounded really nice with it. Then on to the Van Den Hul MC Two Special. I had a hard time getting this one to sound as good as I know it can. More experimentation later with that one... then on to the Nagaoka MP 500. Sounds very good!
Listened to a somewhat worn copy of CSNY Deja Vu and it sounded really nice and played pretty quiet.
All listening done on my Technics SL 1200 MK2. I love that the Pass has so many loading and gain settings and they are relatively easy to get to without having to remove the cover. |
The 1200 is the first turntable I've owned that allows switching of headshells, and it's pretty cool to be able to do that quickly. I don't see myself switching them up with every record though, LOL. Right now I have 4 cartridges that I can switch in and out. I haven't tried my Shure V15 Type IV with Jico SAS stylus yet. I do have a couple more cartridges sitting around that I'd like to try. More headshells may be acquired soon! I bought a small case that will hold 5, so I can have one on the table and 5 others available. |
I bought the case from ebay from seller emjmusic. I bought the Pass phono stage from a dealer in southern California. |
Gerry Rafferty - City to City, MFSL. Really quiet and good dynamic range. |
George Benson - Breezin', MFSL |
Panera - History of Hostility |
My last post was supposed to be Pantera not Panera, lol. |
Reuben, back in the day it was so overplayed that I got sick of it, but I appreciate it a lot more now. |
Beastie Boys - Licensed to Ill |
|
Reuben, I hadn't listened to it in a while either. I heard her on radio paradise this morning and thought I needed to give that a spin. |
|
Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road |
@beach2mtn I stopped getting married a long time ago, so no wife to leave when I rock out! I do have a super cool girlfriend that loves to listen to music too, but she's a little less into J.P. than I am. She would have enjoyed Bob though. |
Elvin Bishop - Live! Rasin' Hell. I never saw Elvin Bishop live, but this record makes me wish I would have. Sounds like a fun time and some great music. |
Just got back from the local record store with a pile of RSD Black Friday titles. They're in quarantine until tomorrow, then the listening begins. |
Steely Dan "Everything Must Go" German
Were they singing in German, or was it a German import? :) |
Just having a little fun brother slaw. |
Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run |
You guys are bringing back some concert memories...
There was a girl I liked, and she liked Loverboy... so I ended up seeing them with her. Not one of my favorite shows. I think Billy Squire opened for them.
They used to have free concerts at Seattle Center and they had one with Mudhoney and Aldo Nova. What a weird pairing! The power went out in the middle of Mudhoney's set. They just kept playing. You couldn't hear anything but the drums, but the crowd still loved it. When Aldo Nova came out, more than half the crowd left. Which reminds me, I have tickets to see Mudhoney on May 3... |
