Whats on your turntable tonight?


For me its the first or very early LP's of:
Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South"
Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue
Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer"
and,
Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
slipknot1
Rory Gallagher "Against the Grain" (promo)

BTW: "Voyager 34" exceeded my expectations. Real nice!
Carolina Chocolate Drops  "Genuine Negro Jig"

Rhiannon Giddens...I think I can already say...the Great Rhiannon Giddens. She was just in town (her home town) last weekend for the Folk Festival in which she was the curator for artists this year. What a great talent!
Savoy Brown "Getting to the Point" original US pressing/Bell Sound/Parrot


Just broke the seal on the 2016 re-master of Pink Floyd "The Wall".

After just listening to "Voyager 34", it seemed like the right thing to do.
Cueing this latest "The Wall" up, I was ready to post, it is muffled compared to my original pressing. Then, I kept on listening. That was the correct approach. Because now, I hear delicate details that I never heard before. Moreover, the child choir is more expansive and important than ever before, "Another Brick in the Wall". I can now hear a faint, singular person singing along with the children's choir on this track. Very cool.

This lp always needed the full volume afforded by any system to sound it's best. No difference here. The more I turn it up, the better it sounds. Ahhhh, glorious analog! The real sense of space and the original acoustic environment is all here to enjoy. I think what I may be trying to ultimately get to is the warmth that comes along with all of the previously unheard details I just mentioned all equals out to be...this pressing is superior to my two originals, hands down. That's pretty darn good for me.
…...it seems to me that the goal here was not to in any way enhance, but to provide a clear path forward. Job well done!
