This earlier thread seems to finger Cadence as the best source? Venus thread

Cool, thanks for posting that; I'll have to look into it, I have an earlier cd.

There's not a dip, but I can shelve the treble down on the ribbon tweeters on my speakers by using wirewound resistors and I do lower the output of my tweeters so that the treble is less pronounced (I listen in a small room and I have to in order to get a balanced sound). Also in my opinion a lot of solid state amplification has "grit and grain" in the treble and I dislike that; I find my tube amplification to have a smoother and more tolerable treble. (I'm just not a solid state fan any longer after living with tubes for a decade; I've got a B&O system in the living room now that sounds pretty good--it ought to for what it cost the original owner, I inherited it recently--but I'd really rather have tubes, and I don't really listen to much music on it as my tubes sound more like music). The two lp burns that I have sound better than the Flip Conn to me on my system; the Conn sounds thinner and more digital. I really think that even if he is not using Nonoise, that the Sonic Solutions console imparts something to McMaster's work; I don't dig the sound. JVC's XRCD engineer has commented that he won't touch that console because it makes things sound immediately "digital". . . . I prefer RVGs because they don't sound as thin and brittle as McMasters. Sure there are some duds, but to me there are fewer duds and McMasters I find almost uniformly disappointing in their thinness. I know it's just personal opinion after a point, but I just lately listened to someone else's system with a Denon receiver and some Heresys and I'm so glad to be back to my system! Man it was bright and gritty! The owner thought it sounded great. Ultimately it's mostly subjective. I'd rather have Addey and RVG remaster, but I'm not the producer.

Thanks Free for All! I haven't had one in a long time. Went out on my first date with my wife to Giordano's near UC.

Man I'd love a Giordano's pizza! Tonight at the Armstrong household: Helen's wonderful sofrito!

That's really a good viewpoint. . . I listen to a lot of stuff from cassette tapes dubbed from private recordings, from scratchy lps. . .and am so happy to be able to hear it! I've tried to limit my rebuying of stuff for sonic reasons, b u t it sure is nice if you can buy the better sounding stuff the first time! B-)

Ah yes, likely.

As far as I know there IS no remastered cd version of Exile on Main Street. I haven't bought any of the new remasters; in fact Exile is the only cd I have of the Stones (have vinyl of many I don't listen to) and I'd have bought a remaster; it's my favorite.

Yes, I know. I still don't wear glasses of any kind, even for reading, though I'm almost 50. I guess I'm some sort of mutant. (Fish oil helps!)

Welcome! I'd invite you to compare some RVGs to other domestic and import versions . . . which is an expensive thing to suggest so I won't invite you! Yes, I was so happy to have my ears measured recently and find that my hearing is normal and not diminished; I've taken great care over the last tgwo decades to protect my hearing and that paid off!

I have nearly all this material, and it's quite interesting stuff. Roy had an attitude that was just guaranteed to make exciting music 99% of the time. A few of these sessions don't quite make me grab for them with gusto, but most really deliver!

I can heartily recommend the "The Immortal Miff Mole" cd on Jazzology, a quite late recording that represents a spirited ("well lubricated") band!

C, "Groove Merchant"---Jerome Richardson!

2.97% $%#@ What percentage would it be if I didn't have a life?

Jobim's "Wave" and a cheap Buck Clarke cd from Dusty Groove.

They're too expensive (for me). They work fine though.

Really

I highly recommend this Pepper material as well. This and the material recently reissued on Savoy are high caliber jazz!

Including Texas: "It's a whole other country!" That's right! When the Mosaic collection of the Complete Quartet Out Recordings is released, they're going to say "appearing on cd for the first time."

Look! Presidential skill!

Guess this should be in Audio Talk

I'm with ya!

Are they sure they got the wrong movie?
