Senior Audiophiles - Audiophile since the 60-70's?

Albertporter we agree to disagree on vinyl. Have far more years in saddle. Please don't even menetion Speaker Corner product with any mention of sanity. I have some of those pressings, well did have, could not wait to ditch them, the absolute worse pressings I have come across, when compared to the original pressing.

Interesting, the blues LP's of Howling Wolf and Little Walter are so much lower distortion and so much better dynamics on the Speaker Corner over the original Chess, I thought they must have found a newer version of the masters. Also the Sarah Vaughn Speaker Corner is stunning, every bit as good as the original on my system.

Certainly the tonal balance of the two are different as the represses are done with modern equipment. Generally more highs, but clean.

When you say a few more years in the saddle, are you referring to age? If yes, we can't be too far apart or your hearing would be in question :^).

Oh, hell my hearing is always in question at 65. Putting up with all the artist and corprate butt drafters at CBS and later on TV Guide. It's a friggin miracle I have any hearing at all, and of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most.

Other than that I am doing well, I think. But then again I would have to find my brain to be certain.

Although we disagree on many levels, nonetheless enjoy the music. For me in the final analysis it has always been about the music we all enjoy.

Agree Ferrari, the music is all that matters and the only reason for the equipment in the first place.

Happy New Year, come tomorrow night for our regular Tuesday night music session and I'll pour whatever drink you like. Then we can find some of your favorite music in my collection and we can all enjoy ourselves.

Sounds like a plan to me. Some nice Brandy in a snifter will do nicely and kick back and listen to some marvelous music. I shall be there in spirit enjoy the evening.
