  1. I felt it extremely bright. Granted is was nice and clean but I recall it did have a bit of hizz on the drop out soft spots. I don't get the chance to A/B much as I never have two sames at once but did here and was sold on the old time warmth offered by the 16 bit-er. Something about the higher rezz that ends up just a bit annoying over the course of a whole disc. Almost as if there is an above sonic level that gets to you after a while. Granted I'm running a solid state system so maybe that leftover zone of shrilliness up top is easily overcome by the out of the wall warmth offered with blocks or tubes. Just my two yen (for what that's worth ).
  2. So what is the consensus of the sound here now that these have been selling for some time. No more upgrading for me but I did pick up "Davis Cup" in the 6XXX series a ways back and could not get it out of my hands fast enough. Nearly RVG series to my system. Guess I need tubes! Luckily I scored a regular old TOCJ cheap and am very happy.
  3. such a big ass orange pilon through the roof is indeed a spooky thing thank god that orange pilon is off by a few yards. safe from the bunker buster once again!
  4. that is cool! found my studio by mere topography. putting in the address is too spooky.
  5. So that's what happens when ya get banned? Ya get to go to Catesta's for ribs! wtf!! We have a loud Harley biker on our street. He's an anesthesiologist, by prior practice and natural selection I believe , at Mass General in Boston.
  6. I see that Water is re-issuing 'Brown Sugar' later this year.
  7. Nice. (post that is)
  8. Took a lot of Googling to sleuth him(sic) out but now SoulStation1 can finally rent out that signature space.
  9. I just read via the AAJ that Parker has another set in the can with Shipp & Medeski? hmmmm. (relyles - i think my reading a couple weeks back was from bagatellen and another site that seemed to want more exploratory Parker for the money. the snips I just heard sound nothing but positive to me. )
  10. thanks sal, listening to tidbits on iTunes now... some reviews I have read take this as not too essential, in so far as Parker's outward play is not the feature I gather they would like to hear, but it sure sounds nice to me. still has his gangling lope underneath it all. seems a bit like Taborn's 'Light Made Lighter' for a pretty inside and accessible Thirsty Ear release.
  11. roddy doyle "The Giggler Treatment"
  12. I don't know why but i rarely check that thread. Funny that whenever i do a search for something it's always one of the ones on call but I never take the time to weed thru it. I do think it's perfect for what it contains ... you got to work hard and pay some attention for the avant garde to bear it's gifts.
  13. so how does the stereo sound in that prius? got to be good since the things are so quiet. really, the only useful thing about driving is the toonz. i finally had a longish drive the other nite in the monsoon and was so completely blown away by Tony Williams' solo on "Olliloqui Valley" that I had to play it three times!
  14. Acquitted? dang, I thought he was just dead.
  15. This BFT no doubt deserves the finest in audiophile playback!
  16. yeah yeah yeah poke fun - I guess you wouldn't wince if it was one of the records with Tony Williams or Blue Mitchell or Frank Morgan, and on. The guy can play and that's a great album worth at least one tenth of that price.
  17. you could buy ten copies of this but it looks too rare. if you do buy just one let me know and maybe we can work somethin' out. feel your groove
  18. Thanks, (fah nuttin') I did just a tad of searching... (searching classical ... c'mon now!) and find you are all correct. I saw some double lp telarcs going in the mid hundreds but those might be rare titles. Others went upwards of fifty but it seemed for the most part that these are not things that command any attention at all so you are at best at the luck of who's looking if eBay is the place to dump them. But hey it is German Digital! I do have one Vivaldi / Karajan 4 Seasons Deutsche Grammaphone in mint vinyl that I picked up at a yard sale for a quarter. Unfortunatley the owner put her name on the front - wouldn't want some drunk at a Frankie Vallie sock hop running off with that one! So Claude, how many of these would you like?
  19. isn't it "my dad and I" ... but man checking out vinyl sh0ps w/ pops! savor them moments. i remember as a kid my dad once went to the record store and had me tag along. the folks at the front told us not to come in cause they were "burnin' one" in the back. i had no idea what that meant then but still remember it nearly forty years later. in fact that record store became the start of all good things to come.
  20. Man you could do a whole Divine thing with that ... America's Funniest videos watch out!
