enjoying a new find for me... Katie Noonan

The Ashes - day one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ashes

So, I have been looking at building out the liquid cooling on my main computer rig... and I found this helpful tutorial - It helped a lot - I think I will watch it a few more times for reference.

So a google image search for this ^^ - because I now want a Graaf GM 200 amp.. But it found this.. (close)

Just as a followup to my first experience with feedbands. As reported I had a high level of surface noise on the disk that I received. I sent a question out to customer service - trying to see if this was pretty standard for them. I got a quick reply back, talking about the recording quality, but offered a replacement disk. I was okay with the recording quality - from the digital download. I got the replacement disk (no charge) in yesterday, and spun it last night. It was Much better - not silent, but surface noise was low enough not to really bother me at all.. So happy to report - good customer service - and not systemic issue with the disks. Looking forward to the next release. Cheers, Mikey

Please report back when you finish the set...

Yeah that is like Bugatti not letting them take the veyron on the track for many years.

this... Cheers Greg - hope you had/have a great one...

Hey Wait! that dude in the hat and blue shirt looks like me...

That was the shocker... very true - even if one almost took Alonzo's head off.. Great driving by the great drivers... when they are given new treads and don't have to worry about fuel, they kick ass.

Well ... I have to say that Original '77 Atlantic.. may rule them all. There is a lot to be said for the remaster -- but there is a pace and tone to the analog that is hard to beat...

Now the SACD layer -- oh yeah....................

Other than deadwax. (FEED 2a and 2b).. nope.. But I guess with different colors you would know. There is the tracklist on the back of the LP cover. Anyway - much more serious now... Blade Runner - OST - Audio fidelity (red)... (thx mr hoffman) Sound is great - I kind of got use to the Esper edition (super long) -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_Runner_(soundtrack)#Esper_Edition

Well As far as the band goes - I am a fan. As far as the pressing goes - I am a little mixed. The overall sound is good - but there is a higher than I like surface noise. Not pops and clicks - the surface is clean (VPI 16).. but just the ssshhh sound on the quiet passage and in between tracks. I don't know if I have a late (noisy) pressing, or if this is indicative of their releases (colored vinyl and all) I have sent them a note - we will see if they have anything to say about it. Like I said - I do really like the album - but the high level of surface noise really takes me out of the music (now and then). Granted this is on my main rig Linn LP12 -> B&W802... So maybe on a Uturn TT and a pair of Active speakers it may not be as much of an issue. But we shall see what they have to say - Don't really want to pay $25 a month and listen to the digital download (mix of 192-320 tracks) Cheers.
