Bill Evans Trio, Sunday at the Village Vanguard 

Dave, 

Thanks for the update. Second post by me removed from this thread. I agree; the word is getting out. I understand different opinions; but just nonsense is a disservice to those seeking help and reliable info.

Hi nkonor,

My post was also removed by the moderators. All my post contained was a link to jafant’s self-posted Virtual System, no commentary whatsoever. Apparently, all that is necessary to have a post removed from Audiogon forums is for anyone (guess who) to report it, whether or not (as in this case) it violates Agon’s stated rules.

That’s okay. The message is getting out and the truth is finding its way to the membership, even if to only a few members at a time.

Dave

dicockrum,

May I ask if you removed your post from the Thiel thread or were you modded like me?

Three albums by Mandolin Orange.

^^^ +1 nkonor. Excellent LP.

Dave

Sgt Peppers 50th anniversary (2) LP vinyl. It should have been mixed like this 50yrs ago. The alternate takes are a bit interesting but maybe once a year. Good clean 180gr vinyl.

Mark Lanegan, anthology "Has God seen my shadow". If you haven't heard this guy & you're into indie rock, check him out. He has a very distinctive voice & a blues edge. He's a great musician. I started listening to him when he released "bubblegum" & have bought several of his albums since, this one being the latest. Sound quality is around a 7 (good but not great). 

Phish, their latest "Big boat". This is a solid album from the band. I have tickets to see them next month & am looking forward to that. Sound quality on this one is again about a 7 IMHO.  

Grateful Dead 5/8/77 and Beatle Sgt. Peppers both vinyl.

Thank for help

Vanessa Hernandez "When the Levee Breaks"
All three of Lyn Stanley's 45rpm albums

...your description of the Nora Jones had me laughing hard.

Hope you've heard "Come Away With Me". Most likely her best in terms of SQ.

Cheers!

soniqmike,

Try "Live in Paris", it may be a game changer for you.

Admittedly, mine is the ORG pressing but the energy Diane and her feedback from the audience is pretty remarkable. It (makes) this recording even more special!

Cheers!

My first real bargain find in the pre-owned realm:

Robert Palmer's "Clues", the promotional use only edition in mint condition. I paid $4 at a local tobacco/news store that recently put a few boxes of vinyl and a small sign in the front window.

Last three (Vinyl) purchases from most recent down:

1. Beatles - Abbey Road (wanted to compare sonics with CD box set I own)

2. Diana Krall - Walflower - My first vinyl of her, and my last. She is now Spotify material to me. Uninspired, and barely ok for background music at dinner time. An el-cheapo beat-box drum machine for California Dreaming?

3. Norah Jones - Little Broken Hearts (double-vinyl)  to put it simply, sounds like it was recorded in a subway station on a normal-bias TDK cassette. On the plus side, great music to fall asleep on. Make sure you have someone to lift the tonearm at the end of track 1, side 1.

my very latest,

The Decemberists "The Crane Wife" 10th Anniversary box set (lp)

Hank Williams-Gold
Melissa Manchester-Silver Anniversary
Mapleshade Music Festival
Beck-Sea Change HDCD
