Zombi - Spirit Animal

Eloy - Ocean Haven't heard this in years! Pulled out my German first pressing CD and ripped that sucker

Great pictures, thanks Steve

Happy birthday ye olde fart

WA5, for sure. I can't remember the others

Yup, even with my unmodded HP-1 (more efficient than modded ) there were only maybe 2-3 amps at the NY meet that could really drive them.

Damn nice haul Mike

To be fair I only own Morrissey's first two solo albums. And The Smiths' work is what I am using as the benchmark, where I can best describe his writing as "razor sharp", whereas this album just feels soggy. Gone are the witticisms that make you pause and go "damn son" \ FWIW, Something is Squeezing My Skull and Mama Lay Softly On the Riverbed are my favorite tracks on this album.

Ba

That tonearm... um... it's "interesting" \

Morrissey - Years of Refusal

Stan Getz, et al - The Brothers Oscar Peterson Trio - At the Stratford Shakespearian Festival

If I can get a modded YH-100 to sound a level above the HP-1 I think a 2 ch Beta22 is in my future.

This thread = Feel free to remake it if you want to add some real content to the first post.

I still haven't heard one, but I've started to want a Beta22 again now that I have some hard to drive headphones (orthos)

After more listens I really like about half of the tracks and don't care one way or the other for the other half. I'm getting used to it sounding like a "big band" (some of the songs are in a similar vein to The New Pornagraphers, and I love everything they've put out) album Another thing I realized is that Fox Confessor just goes by so quickly (and I looked up the time and Middle Cyclone is only ~ 6 minutes longer than Fox Confessor if you don't count the 30 minute track), whereas I find this drones on a bit I can still see myself listening to it a few times a year like her pre FC albums. Ian- I actually like Prison Girls (lyrically very interesting, and I like the song as well)

How does it compare to the Lavry Gold?

Another device I have to refrain from buying everytime a deal comes up

I think the songwriting is quite a step backward from Fox Confessor. Having so many collaborators and a bigger band this time around, there is a lot more going on in the songs. And I do not understand the last track that is 30 minutes long.

Happy birthday!

On track 4, this is very different from Fox Confessor...

...nothing that Google couldn't answer or anything Woot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (scroll down to woot off)

Neko Case - Middle Cyclone listenin to dis!

I haven't been to woot since the last woot off, the new website colors/layout feels weird...

But the Jade has no soundstage depth, and a bunch of other problems. I like the HE60 so no argument there. Airbow SR-SC, no comment since I haven't heard it, but I loath the SR-404 Let me pick through your list Jade, RS-1, K1000, HP-2, all of those headphones have good treble IMO. Not bright if matched in a good system. The others I agree with you or haven't owned/borrowed.
