Whats on your turntable tonight?

New Dire Straits debut LP 180 gram remaster. Sounds very good but not sure I like it better than the Phonogram 1/2 speed remaster import from several years ago. Funny thing is that my Straits LP is 11.99 inches and not 12 inches in diameter. My VPI peripheral ring keeps falling off one edge of the record!

Also listening to:

Thelonius Monk - Something in Blue

The The - Mindbomb (great and underrated LP)

Elvis Costello - This Year's Model MFSL release

The Hot Spot [Original Soundtrack] with Miles Davis, Taj Mahal, John Lee Hooker, Roy Rogers, Earl Palmer and Tim Drummond. - Antilles/AP 45RPM

The original Antilles vinyl was rare and beautiful (Sounded excellent) but friends, this is a stunning line up and a soundtrack that only a Dennis Hopper movie could have had a hand in... Don't wait too long or the Antilles/AP 45 RPM version will be history too and you still won't have a copy in your library. The pressing quality and mastering are what Analogue Productions is so well known for, in a word, outstanding. This is another title that Chad of Acoustic Sounds and Acoustic Productions hunted down for years to repress for everyone else. Bravo! Chad Cheers!

Happy Listening!

Rushton, thanks for the invitation.I will return the same if you ever find yourself in Cincinnati,Ohio please give me a message. I listen all the time and would love to have you and the same goes for slipknot.
Just rebuilt my Hafler 220 and it is blowing my mind. All new caps and 80% more saturation in the power caps.So much more air and nuance plus a much lower sound floor. I am a happy camper.The Acoustats are really singing now.

listening to Corydon Singers performing Ralph Vaughn Williams
"Mass in G",Howells Requiem on Hyperion. I bought this when it came out back in the early 80s.Amazing recording and sublime music.

Thank you, Emorrisiv. The RVW Mass is a lovely piece and you're listening to a favorite performance. Beautifully recorded for Hyperion by Antony Howell.
