Voltron

Glad I have waited so I can buy the new one.

Just looked up the history of that album, and it was his last recording during 1978 when he was quite ill and looking to make some money pretty desperately: "By the mid-1970s Green's health was in serious decline, in part from his long battle with drugs. His failure to become a big name in music, with the accompanying financial rewards, and a series of failed relationships, further demoralized him. Green married Karen Duson Wallace, a nurse, in 1974. By 1977 the marriage had failed. Dorothy Malone became his constant companion until his death. Green recorded his last album, Easy, in April of 1978. That autumn he had a minor stroke that left him temporarily paralyzed on his left side. A blood clot was found near his heart and the doctors ordered triple-bypass surgery, but Green refused. Instead, he drove across the country for a gig in California. After the long drive back to New York, he suffered a heart attack and died on the way to Harlem Hospital on January 31, 1979. He was 43."

Man, I couldn't take it. Switched. Grant Green -- Grant's First Stand

Most likely. Fucking A&R douchebags.

Fail.

Grant Green -- Easy I don't know what this thing is, but it starts off with a cheesy, string-filled version of Easy [like Sunday morning] and finishes with Three Times a Lady. Grant's tone is great but it is laying on top of muzak. Who made him record this shit?

I don't think the HE90s sound very good from the BHSE so the normal bias Stax jack would be a good idea unless you just want two pro bias Stax jacks, of course.

Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble -- In Step

Thanks for taking the time to write up your impressions Todd. It does sound like a damn good value. Is the Dynahi a pretty transparent amp? I don't know how that amp sounds, and it will be interesting to hear your thoughts on the D100 through your speaker amp or any other headamp you have access to. Also, have you tried the Dynahi with the APL Denon? I'd be curious to know how it compares even though the price range is different. On another note, it has been said before but why do these manufacturers keep using the same names for DACs and amps? Stello, Neko, Channel Islands, Cambridge, Genesis, etc. all have D100s or DA100s and I am sure there are others.

No and No. Under discussion. But I thought you were going to be elsewhere at that time.

I got a link to a music player playing Wilco's brand new album.

Anja Garbarek -- Smiling & Waving Pisses me off that Steve Jansen is not on Rhapsody and I never remember to look for this disc when I am at a store.

The Allman Brothers Band S/T

This is a cool album. Jazz big band but from a modern perspective. Recommended fwiw.

Darcy James Argue's Secret Society -- Infernal Machines

Steve Earle -- Townes

The Crystal Method -- Divided by Night

It's only 141.8 you wuss.

Happy happy, joy joy! Cheers

That seems odd to me -- although I am not sure of your definition of hot -- because I would have put the Northstar as more in your face and the ECD-1 as more laid back when I have heard them. I have to say, though, that I think the Northstar I heard the most was modded by Maui Mods and I have not heard either of them nearly as much as you have. I just think of the ECD-1 as the slower, more rounded and euphonic and therefore cannot associate "hot" with it in my own mind.

I want to hear the Wheatfield, please.
