Bob, some great stuff there. I'm looking forward to the upcoming SRV releases on quality vinyl.

 

Hi Davey,

I always love reading your posts because they are very smart and polite. ...All the threads you started asked the right questions, and always result in some of the best discussions on the Internet (audio forums).

Like many others I'm a big fan of S.R.V. (Rest In Peace Stevie), and I think that I have all his albums and compilations and re-releases. ...On LPs, on CDs, on Gold CDs, on SACDs, on DVDs, on ....

I'm thinking of getting another turntable; a VPI Classic, the 3 perhaps. What do you think Davey? ...Will it honor new album (quality LP vinyl) re-releases (pressings) like from S.R.V. and so many more from the age of the resurrection from vinyls? ...200gr, 45RPM and all that jazz ....
Will I look more 'hip', will I sound more 'me'? :b
Am I right to even think like that?

P.S. It is mainly because of very few people like you that I am still an active member here. I let only the positive guide my life and I'm real glad that I'm still alive to see the good light around. ...From the very bottom of my heart and soul.

 

Bob, thank you so much for the nice compliments. I think the same about you.
As to the VPI Classic 3...I have to laugh. I'm seriously considering this TT myself. I have not heard it as much as I would like, and with some luck, I will be able to rectify that at the upcoming Newport show.
However, when I did hear it, although not for very long, i was sufficiently impressed to put it on my short list. One of the things that I wish when buying a TT, is that one could hear it for oneself in one's own system, although i do realize the difficulties of that. Only other consideration I have is to upgrade my current Linn. I posted a thread on this matter on A'gon a while back... http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1360216694&read&keyw&zzvpi=3 ---got some interesting thoughts.

 

 

I bet that most members here don't even know Serge Gainsbourg.

I grew up falling in love for the very first time with Roxanne, at age 15 (she was only 12), and kissing her (French kisses) while listening to this:

* And of course I got few of his albums. ...And yes, albums (LPs: 33 1/3 and 45 RPM).

Bob, you're a card

serge gainsboug's music is some of the best make-out music ever...you'll also get the urge to puff on a smoke (gitanes of course) and sip a sniffer of Camus cognac cuvee (only the best).

"I'm a card"; first time ever I've heard that one! ...A good card Rob, like an Ace? :b

* Good point; as a matter of fact I was smoking Gitanes at that age! ...Absolutely true!
...Cognac just came up two years later (at age 17). ...Remy Martin. ...And I was very heavy into Chess (chess games).
But at 15 we were drinking (my two brothers and I), Rye Whiskey (from Dad's liquor's stash). ...And lots and lots of French wines (our own, that we bought with our own money). ...And all the best wines too (red of course); Beaujolais from France, Mouton Cadet, Pisse Dru, etc., etc., etc.
Between three to five friends, we drank nine to fifteen bottles of wine per evening! ...With camembert and brie cheese, pate de foie, French breads, and we smoked the best hashish; from Afghanistan, Nepal, Colombia, Marrakech (Morocco), ...

Wow, I can tell you some many happy and unhappy incidents from back around that time.
But I'm sure yourself and others here have some great stories too from the early to mid seventies.

At around 1969 or so, we used to go in one of the parks, and listened to a portable turntable; C.C.R. (Suzie Q, ...).
One of my friends had totally transformed his parent's home basement into a "trip" zone; complete with black lights, posters, music from Steppenwolf, Deep Purple, CCR, and many more...

Another friend did the same, but in the backyard of his parents.
Parties were constant, and Yes, Chicago, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Jethro Tull, The Rolling Stones, The Doors, etc. were routine music.
...And many hallucinogenic substances (all of them) were substantially digested, every single weekend, and even during the week at school! ...Probably why I got all straight As +. ...Ace cards?

I could easily write several books about my youth and growing up in a world of music, love, drugs, sex, and some tough situations sometimes.

It is totally eerie because just remembering one or two things transcends to so much more, so many special events that all contributed to build me eventually.
...I went to the best schools, I had some of the best education; some of my friends are super intelligent.
...My life's journey has been extraordinary. ...And today I can see with total clarity. ...Money or no money (I had both).

 

Some nice music, a simple inspiration ...

...I guess that it was the 'Joker' card ... :b
