+666 arcticdeth I appreciate all your metal postings it’s a breath of fresh air on Audiogon! Most of my metal collection is on CD’s vinyl is expensive new or old with very marginal SQ improvements with metal recordings. When you find great sounding metal releases on vinyl or CD please let the Audiogon community know about it. I’m sure there are plenty of closet metalheads here.
Whats playing on your system today?
Today I decided to listen to two of my favorite rock guitar heros and one great vocalist. Guitarist' Robin Trower, Ronnie Montrose and vocalist Davey Pattison.
I listened to Trower songs:
Bridge of sighs, Stitch in time, The fool and me, my personal favorite- Too rolling stoned and others.....
Then I pulled out "Gamma".
I listened to: Razor King, Wish I was and Skin and bone and others.....
Davey Pattison hooked has also up with Michael Shenker also. I really enjoyed my day so far. Anybody else heard anything good?

I was going through my SACD collection and came across an unopened SACD of a MOFI version of “Kind of Blue”, serial# 00231. The sound is clean, clean, clean! I played this on the main rig with the volume control set at 50 which is the highest I have ever had it. We all know how excellent the music is but the absence of any noise or hiss and the extended dynamic range made this a truly special experience. At one point my non audiophile wife said it sounds like they are playing in our living room! I couldn’t have said it any better. |
Traveling so the "system" here is MacBook Air >> Dragonfly Red to earbuds. Listened (and enjoyed) Cotton Mather's "Death of the Cool". Great lines from track 2, Close to the Sun.... "I want you my love, but I feel destined for a different sort of medicine I’ve got to transcribe what's inside into these cylinders of Edison." A bit of a rough live version here.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbXZPQlUvyQ |
