wkhanna Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Take two (or more) and call me in the morning, Richard Healing therapy of whatever kind the Apothecary provides is always welcome. I am happy your treatments are found successful. Oh yes, the drug that is our precious music. Such a seemingly simple remedy, yet so powerful & effective. Please sir, may I have some more? Two may not suffice! In fact, two came in one with these unearthed hidden treasures. Found yesterday during a hunt, this double album jacket was so worn & water damaged as to be quite overlooked. Yet I felt I saw a glimmer of radiance trying desperately to break through. Oh so lucky, a quick spin on the vacuum record cleaner with proper soaps and voila! Riches discovered to be kept in the digitized vault as soon as possible. For the moment, analog play will be fine. Bill Practicing Curmudgeon & Audio Snob ....just an "ON" switch, Please!

PewterTA Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Love me some Guitar! Though the low end of this is really showing how badly I need to get the plinth and speakers spiked. I can tell how much low end tightness and power I'm loosing. And the B&W 802-D2s are no slouch in the low end. Link to comment

[ATTACH=CONFIG]4273[/ATTACH] Wow, what a find! Milt and Stanley! Heard Turrentine with his Quartet in Washington, D.C. at a Jazz Club in Georgetown. Our table was about twenty feet away. He (they) played for about 90 minutes. Our host kept the champagne poured. It was just glorious. Midnight Blue Hybrid SACD XLD conversion to AIFF. Kenny Burrell, Stanley Turrentine, Major Holley, Jr., Ray Barretto, Bill English. Excellent. Enjoying the music, Richard Link to comment

wkhanna Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I heard this evening that Joshua Bell has taken on the role of cunductor & has released his effort with The Academy of St. Martin in the Fields. Well wish to him.

It is a 24/96 vinyl rip of the 1960's cycle. The misleading image is the result of my relaxed vetting of the meta data automatically imported during the Foobar upload.

wkhanna Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 The 60's cycle is great by the way. Agreed, the '60's cycle is basically the universally accepted benchmark. Which one is 'best' is purely a personnel decision. However, the erroneous image in my previous post has peaked my curiosity. Possibly a SACD issue?

And for this being an Arte HD TV rip... it's actually among one of my best live performances (recorded quality wise). I hope this eventually could make it's way to blu-ray...but the music is great!
