| Seventh Sojourn - The Moody Blues Xiekitchen,Yes, I would agree Seventh Sojourn has aged particularly well. There is nothing I can think of dated about it. The themes of the songs relate to the world and human experience as well today as back then. I have other MFSL LPs but not th... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music "Motherless Child".I'm thinking of the Van Morrison version in particular.Or is "gut wrenching" a better term? | |
| Moody Blues "Question of bal." CD or SACD vs Vinyl I have "The Promise" on vinyl. Pinder/Moodies fans would like it. Very "astral" with some nice melodies and flourishes. The recording is nice as well.Also have both Ray THomas albums on vinyl (From Mighty Oaks and Hopes, Wishes and Dreams). THey l... | |
| Moody Blues "Question of bal." CD or SACD vs Vinyl I'm a big Ray Thomas fan but I was OK with him retiring. I've heard LEgend of a Mind on many occasion and was happy to see them fit in some other less recently heard tunes like The Actor and Are You Sitting Comfortably.Would love to hear stuff fro... | |
| Moody Blues "Question of bal." CD or SACD vs Vinyl I 've seen them 6 times, 1st in 1978 (Octave Tour), 3 times in this millenium. I agree the recordings all pale in comparison to the Moodies live today. THey have really honed their repertoire to perfection live on most any decent night. Like fine ... | |
| Seventh Sojourn - The Moody Blues Rwwear,I don't have any SACD disks since I do not have a SACD player.Have you heard it? Based on the differences I heard with these two, it could be mixed quite differently yet again. | |
| Time to change. But to what? Take a look a Ohm Walsh 300 or 5 series 3 (www.ohmspeaker.com).They're made in Brooklyn, NY. | |
| components vs integrated vs "lifestyle solutions" If it works for you, why not?That Peachtree looks very nice!I've eyeballed the MF unit.There are a lot of very nice integrated pieces these days. Separate components can be tricky to match properly and also take up more room. A good integrated pie... | |
| Moody Blues "Question of bal." CD or SACD vs Vinyl I posted my Question of Balance audio review a while back and also posted Seventh Sojourn audio review including the MFSL Ultradisc recording just today, if still interested. | |
| CD recorder? The Denon in my system makes perfect recordings every time and retails for about $600. The player sounds very good also. Highly recommended.It replaced a $900 California Audio Labs Icon mkII player which was highly regarded by many in its day. I t... | |
| Internet radio stations that sound really good Radio Classique TubesIs this a station utilizing tubes in the playback system? SOunds like it. Very good sound. Classical from France. | |
| Musical Int. Amp that has exstended natural treble I've heard wonderful things about Blue Circle and am very interested in the line.Expensive stuff though. I'd listen first before buying anything. | |
| Krell KAV400 VS Musical Fidelity A300 A 3.2 A3.5 Dkzzzz,Surprises me from your description of what you are looking for that you did not care for the Krell at all. Maybe just lack of synergy...ie not a good fit with the rest of your system? No blown tweeters or anything like that right?This is a ... | |
| What one product has redefined music for you?? Klipschorns, Maggies, Ohms, and Apogees are the speakers I've heard or owned that provided a redefining experience.I owned a Tandberg tr2080 receiver for over 25 years that was my first taste of exquisite component design and what really good ampl... | |
