I'm not informed, but need to be. I like Lacy. I like Waldron. But I haven't got to their recordings together... Where should I start?

No room?

Actually, it might be the default setting. But turn off all volume-leveling/normalizing options...

Oh, and you have to change this setting yourself. Play with the controls and options. You'll quickly learn how to navigate everything.

Dmitry, I also recently got a 2GB Nano. I did some experimenting with different encoding bitrates and did not discern a difference "when listening on the iPod." I first tried the lossless. Then 192 Kbps. I am satisfied with 128 Kbps now... And with only 2GB to play with, you'll appreciate the extra capacity with the smaller files.

Ahhh, Chuck beat me to it. Prestige 7150.

2 outta 3 ain't bad...

Okay...so I'm listening to "Let 'Em Roll" now... Any examples of that on this album? (I'm thinking yes, as the bass just kicks ass.) Seems like he's hitting a pedal at the end of the first two tracks. It's deeeep. I mean DEEEEEP.

Seriously, thanks for letting me know. I didn't know that, but now that I do it makes sense. I'm gonna go relisten to all my greaze rekkids to listen for this happening.

With a mind capable of doing all of that, you could probably be a physicist of something.

Yes there is. You sir, rock.

Side 3 of the mid 70's Prestige two-fer "Gerry Mulligan & Chet Baker ". Nice. And I'm not usually a "West Coast" kinda guy. Next up: BIG John Patton - Let 'Em Roll - BN Rare Grooves Series - "Wally" in the deadwax... Here we go....Oh yeah... I'm noddin'

Yeah...you're right you know... :bwallace2:

Thanks Jim... Hey! WTF!! There's no "Fast Reply" button in this thread...? There was over in the Hammond forum... Upgrading?

I was just looking at the pictures thread. and Jim: whadda ya mean you play the bass with your left hand? I thought you Hammond Organ cats did that with yer feet? (Oooh, I really like this fast reply box... )

Bee Gees Greatest wow...this record sounds awesome. I played Side 2 first, beginning with "How Deep Is Your Love." The first note was a totally warm-sounding bass note. This record sounds great.

I've got that one comin' in the mail... but it ain't mono... and it ain't from 63rd St... I think it may be a Frenchie...

I have it and make no hesitation recommending it on Lp. Classic did a great job on this one, at least on mine. I also like the Classic pressing of One Down, One Up and that had a nearly 30 minute Side 1. Sounds fine. :tup

ARIC!!! ARE U OKAY!!! Your sentence just cut off...like you had collapsed or something...

Another thing I have learned about the mono button/double Y-cord thing is that it can also help cancel out some of the surface noise. I wouldn't really recommend listening to stereo recording with these engaged. Won't the Out-Of-Phase stuff disappear? That's kinda what's happening with the surface noise reduction. It could make things sound all whooshy too...

It sums the two channels. Just like using the double-Y cord set-up I suggested earlier in this thread. Have you tried it yet? Works like a charm.

According to a recent post by Chuck, he says that these last few years have seen so much in print, more than at any other time. Even more than "back in the day." I think I'd have to agree...

My comment about everything looking the same is in regard to the artwork. Just that same damn red artwork on all the cds, box, booklet...no identity. That's what I like about the individual albums. All that cool cover art/graphics.

I've had it for years and have largely ignored it. I would go through periods of being interested in it, but it is just so big and imposing. And everything looks the same. I would recommend listening to this set just a "session" at a time. I've actually been getting into this music more as individual albums as I've been picking up the OJCs and mid-seventies Prestige/Milestone two-fers of this material on Lps for the last year or so...since I got a turntable last year. I've had a tt just over a year and I already have over 1200 Lps!!! I have no self-control...
