Thanks Purk. Isnt it about time for a family DC vacation?

CHEAP TRICK at Budokan

Dolly, Linda, Emmylou....."TRIO"

I guess they figured they got it so right the first time......;)

Added a second table (VPI scout 1.1) and a mono cartridge (ortofon quintet mono) I'm running it through my back up phonostage until I can pick up another BAT phono used. WOW, listening to a japenese blue note of Lee Morgan "Candy". Soundstage depth is incredible. There is a sharpness/cleaness to the record I have never heard. This is one of the better investments involving listening to records I've made. Now to clear a separate shelf for monos only.

A few really nice records worth buying, at least the vinyl versions, haven't heard them on CD. Daniel Lanois "shine" and "Acadie" Also I have picked up five LPs on the Pure Pleasure label, They are all insanely good as far as recording quality and are super quiet. Bobbie Gentry "Ode to Billie Joe" Junior Wells "Pleading the Blues" Junior Wells and Buddy Guy "Going Back to Acoustic" Keb Mo "Suitcase" Jimmy Witherspoon "Spoons Life" Also have an Al Green on backorder. Hope its up to the same level as the others. I'm going to start chipping away at there catalog of soul & blues. (edit, added an LP I forgot)

For me it would be more like the flavour of the last 20 or so years.

Thanks Brent. Got one ordered, gets here today.

Listening to the little silver round stuff. Van Morrison "Back on Track" Lyle Lovett "Joshua Judges Ruth"

Benz LPS had to go to Sound-Smith.............I'm in CD/Laptop hell. Any one using or used the Ortofon 2m red? $100 to be listening to records sounds like a deal to me.

Listening to "Buddy Rich, Very Live At Buddy's Place" Thinking how cool going to a Night Club used to be On Groove Merchant and worth owning

Count Basie Swings, Joe Williams Sings...Verve "88 Basie Street" Count Basie...Japanese Pablo

I'm in shock.

Johnny Cole "Little Johnny" 45 blue note

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

THE BLUES AND THE ABSTRACT TRUTH 45rpm Impulse reissue Bill Evans, Roy Haynes, Eric Dolphy, Oliver Nelson, Paul Chambers, Freddie Hubbard.........Great, Great Record!!

Busting out some oldies but goodies on vinyl. "Chicago One" and even better (but the same) The Sons Of Champlin.."Loosen up Naturally"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUSTY!!!

MONKEY JUNGLE Duke Ellington, Max Roach, Charlie Mingus

Rolling Stones "Beggars Banquet" vinyl/London pressing

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

oh yea Purk dropped off an upgrade........ arrived by surprise. Purk dropped off ultra desktop dac balanced ultra desktop amp, and desktop power supply!! Plus ted allen balanced headphone cable Life is good

So I had to come back to Atlanta to do my transfer to a different store up in VA. Just my laptop and a pr. of senn hd201s. Then here comes the king of all friends...(that would be Purk) Brings me a pair of HD800 and HD650's. Sets up new software on my laptop, brings all cables and a nuforce converter, along with headroom desktop headphone amp/dac and desktop power supply. After 7 months of health issues and not being able to work, getting back in the groove was not easy. Having these tunes to come home to has made so much difference! Thanks just doesn't cover this much trouble and time he's put into this hook up. He's the best
