John Coltrane - Coltrane Plays the Blues

Cool, I'll grab Tomcat. Jimmy Smith - Plays Fats Waller

Al have you had to return any of your Music Matters LPs due to pressing defects? And are they generally free of surface noise? I have only heard the ones I got from zippy (stunners), and haven't waded through the huge thread at SH.

Vince Guaraldi - Vince Guaraldi Trio (ojc)

Unless he moved the speakers into a room with a fireplace...

Are the Blue Note and Impulse! SACDs limited and numbered? I'm thinking about subscribing to those and hand picking the albums I really want on vinyl.

You've been to pj's house? I can just imagine you two getting together

Milt Jackson and Ray Brown - Montreux '77 (ojc) it looks like they photoshopped Milt Jackson's head onto the cover

I don't understand...or is this an inside joke amongst Ultrasone fans?

Hehe what was the name of the band?

Dave Brubeck & Paul Desmond - St Louis Blues

Not just that, but I think Ray's post is inappropriate because he is using the IEMs with his amps (though he didn't explicitly state), which people are going to think are a good match for the Westone and might seek an RSA amp out.

Thanks for the analysis wualta. I think I just need to live with them in modded form a bit longer, or try a different amp. Stock I felt it does have the right amount, but a bit undetailed and "dynamic"-ish. Faust do you think you'll make the NY meet? I'll know for sure this afternoon. I'll bring the HP-1 if I do.

Nice scan

Queen - A Night at the Opera (DCC Gold cd)

That's my experience with second hand shops in Europe as well. Used discs for 8-15 Euro

Black Sabbath - Paranoid (Japan PD33-353 first pressing CD)

Bobby Timmons - This Here is Bobby Timmons (XRCD)

Usually grave robber auction lots. You would be surprised the number of people that want to be buried with their music collection.

They are to aardvark Blackmore: I usually only pick up 10-20 new releases in a year so I don't even bother going into mega-mall type record stores. I also make judicious use of internet sampling before buying vinyl or CDs.

Led Zeppelin - untitled (Japan 20P2 first issue) continuing the "Levee" theme

Yup full agreement with you here. Which is why I'm surprised most of the reports I've read (including wualta's roundup) said they need modding.

Nope I don't think I had a spinning device at the time
