I heard my first 200k vinyl system today

[Atmasphere]

Hey Miles- you pick up any of that stuff I played for you are RMAF?

Here's what Myles played for me, and that I've bought.


45rpm re-issue:




If you like Butoh (it's a form of Japanese dance that I'm a BIG fan of) this music is absolutely captivating




This one's a little expensive, and hard to get in NM. The first copy that came is VG, and pretty noisy. Good music, so I'll be hunting down a good copy.

Myles is a fountain of knowledge of music in general and LPs in particular. If Myles tells me that I need to buy a certain LP, I buy it. All of his recommendations have been great.

Mark:

I'll have to second mortgage the house or offer up our first born male child (comes with fully paid University of Washington degree) before even thinking about buying all the fine LPs Myles has. I am not worthy.

I'm not trying to duplicate Myle's collection by any means. Sometimes when we are at shows together looking at records, Myles will pull something out and hand it to me to buy. Sometimes Myles sends me emails and says "Do you have this LP? If not, you need to buy it." It's funny that of the three pictures of LPs that Gary showed, I have two of those three LPs because of Myles. In fact, I just listened to the Kenny Burrell last night.

I only have Mallets. I must seek out the other two!

So Al, this is where the fun really starts. An analog rig's spring can never rise beyond the proverbial source. Clean LPs are an absolute must if you decide to swim in the deeper water. For yard sale condition LPs an MM cart and a simple table that holds speed might even be better since they are generally more forgiving. LPs to me are touchstones. This makes them more than just carriers of music. Playing a record is a bit like cooking my own meal and my server is like walking into a market (albeit a great one) wondering what to try. They can both be great experiences but I don't think they can ever be the same. This is independent of sound quality in my mind.

have you heard the stereo vers of "mallets"? looks like you got the mono...

You're sharp! The stereo version should arrive with the post on Monday.....

the stereo vers is much harder to find as you found out, my anecdotal evidence suggest 10:1 with way more monos about.

It took me 20 years to find a copy and when I did, it cost $10.

I'm real good at spending other people's money!

I think that Gary actually heard reel 2 of the 15 ips tape. The sound of Burrell's guitar is to die for!

So we'll get Gary via Ki into tape and Al into analog!

yeah, but add up the hours digging though grimmy bins and scouring the net to find one for $10 still a nice score

We need to start a "Myles recommends....." thread. Hopefully it'll include some Rock'nRoll as well. Jazz is nice and all that, but c'mon......

It is!!

I can't remember if Myles had the stereo version..... The copy coming is also only VG - so I don't have great hope for it being clean. But that's OK. My go-to percussion album is still:





Jack is right in that analog is like cooking your own meal - compared to digital which is like going to a restaurant.

That it is. The man has tone down pat.

Best rock album I acquired recently is this one. We played it at our audio society meeting last night, and I think that most everyone appreciated it. Great music and great sound.

Well it's getting close and the more I read and realize this is going to happen the tension builds. I have guys working in NYC in the morning so I'll be there early. As my normal routine is to where one of pairs of CIEM,s and listen on the train ride I will opt not to. But will wear them to keep my ears fresh . I am down by maiden lane and miles is uptown so some quite time Will be really cool for this. I hope all can see I am going to put real effort into this. And having this forum and the people being so kind to lead me , shows me the desire of others for new people .

STADIUM ARCADIUM is a great album to be sure. Need to dig mine out.

 

[Alrainbow]

Now that is a bit shocking to think of playing. Wow am I surprised. I have a couple of there albums on cd of course . Californication for one . I did not know rock like this is pressed on vinyl .

There are plenty of great RnR titles pressed on vinyl, and, of course, original vinyl is cheap (mostly) and there are some excellent pressings out there.

 

[Alrainbow]

Well that's good to know I mean at 57 I am an old headbanger . Although I listen to all genre ,s except rap. As long ad the recording is clean I want to hear it. I go from nirvana to van Morrison. Classical as well not that I know the names , but I have about 6 TB of music in hi Rez. Is any of the Stanley Clark stuff on vinyl . Like if this bass could talk is a clean album a little bright but clear .
