The Pass labs amp and preamp aren't bad. Neither is that Sequerra tuner.

[frenchmon]

Pops that Pat Metheny "Off Ramp" is also a good one.....You've got to listen to the one tune on that album called "Are you going with me". Its Methenys vey first hit that put him on the map.

[frenchmon]

Oh man...That Ramsey Lewis and Earth Wind and Fire!!!! Bringing back memories my man....The first cut on side one....Sun Goddess is fantastic.

[frenchmon]

Ok this is the last one and then im done...

That John McLaughlin and The Mahavishnu Orchestra is some heavy stuff. Jan Hammer and Billy Cobham on the same recording is scary good. I think those where the years when John was into his Indian spiritual stuff.

Guys these are all fantastic. Fidelity wise the "Incantation" LP is off the charts. It's traditional S.American music featuring heavy guitar and pan flute. Gorgeous sound. The top one in the first pic is Peter Tosh. The Segovia is a Decca Gold Label in excellent condition. It tracks really, really nicely. Any of you guys have experience with gold label?

Hey Pops hey noob...heres a little heads up for you two....I got word that a album by Paul Desmond was being re-issued again on vinyl after being out of circulation for a while. You can always find it on CD but not on vinyl. So I ordered it about 2 months ago and I had to wait till they got pressed and shipped over to cduniverse. Its a limited pressing and supply. And its only $18 not including shipping, and its 180 gram virgin vinyl. I got my copy yesterday. The album is "First Place Again" and he has Jim Hall with him as always and he has the second half of the "Modern Jazz Quartet" with him as well..that being Percy Heath and Connie Kay. so if you can spare the loot, go ahead a grab a copy while they still have them....cduniverse.com http://www.cduniverse.com/sresult.as...le=music&rmf=P

Is this where, as a mod, I tell you no double posting? lol. That album looks fantastic. Next record show I plan to search for Desmond Lps. I am good for vinyl for a while. I have some gear considerations now...

Any of you folks ever have someone who you're so hooked on that you'd get this much of her stuff?



shhh...don't tell Mrs. Noob.

When you're buying VHS tapes, you know it's the real thing.

[02audionoob]

I bought that VHS tape back when it was current technology.

My wife and I both love the "Talking Heads". Great lyrics!

The copy I got is really clean, sounds great. Super nice production on that.

I stopped by and did a little record shopping on the way home from work, today. For the princely sum of $12.99, including tax, I took home this batch of classical that all went to the clearance bin yesterday, according to the date on the tags. That one front and center, Karen Bella, is the exception...not classical. I bought it on a whim because it's local to Dallas.

[poppachubby]

noob, how do you select your claasical? Are you familiar with the music, or do you just go with composer.

[02audionoob]

It's a bit of both. With this batch, there were 15 total records. They were all from the big name composers and noteworthy works by those composers, so I took 11 of them. I left behind the Domingo and Caruso performances, as well as a Mendelssohn and something else I don't remember.

I will often take a chance on composers I don't know as well if the perormance features a well-known musician I know I like. I discovered I like Haydn because of taking a chance on a Wynton Marsalis record and Elgar because I found a Jacqueline Du Pre record.

I do like to have the most famous works of all time, even multiple performances of them. I don't have a great many of those cases, but certainly several among Beethoven, Mozart, Mahler and a handful of others in the top tier. I also sometimes like to explore a composer's influences or proteges. With all those considerations, it's about like my approach to jazz. One day I'm listening to Brubeck and then suddenly I realize I've "discovered" Desmond.

Getz also made dozens of great vinyl records.

Check out pages 6 and 7 in this thread...and post 'em if you got 'em.

The best of today's clearance-bin digging:





Or maybe this one is the winner. It's Ray Brown, Joe Sample and Shelley Manne...

I have the three vinyl, but not the "rocking the filmore". This is simply a GREAT thread!!!

Glad you like it. There's only a few of us who keep it afloat, so please join us, by all means. If you read page 1, you'll see it was actually audionoob who suggested we use it to display our vinyl pick ups.

[poppachubby]

Nice grab noob, you probably recall I scored that Humble Pie in NM condition. Personally I love that LP, and I am partial to the entire Filmore E/W series.

As for The Three, with Ray Brown in the line up, you're guaranteed a good LP. Have you listened yet? Is it a good candidate for a rip?

I like it pretty well. Recording to WAV right now.
