What Have You Been Listening to lately???
03/21/23 at 17:19:28

Guys,

With the 'What's Spinning' thread causing crashes, (when posting from an iPhone, which, out of convenience, is my preferred method) , this is an alternative (and experimental) new thread to see if something new might work better.

If this results in no change (which I imagine will be the case), it can be quickly ignored.

Let the experiment begin - go forth, and be photo postful...

i haven't done any serious listening. My new DSD DAC Mk2 from PS Audio was supposed to be here by FedEx on Sunday. As we were not necessarily going to be here all day Sunday to sign for it, I paid 12 Dollars to have that moved to Monday. Monday morning it showed on the truck and then a few hours later an "operational delay" which turned out to be an all day one and it is supposed to be delivered today, hasn't shown up yet.

In preparation for this new one I moved my modded DSD DAC from the main system and moved it into the place of my OG DSD DAC that in my headphone system. That was a decided improvement in sound as I suspected; that OG will go back in trade for the Mk2--I'm being given full price for the OG, 2/3 in a discount and 1/3 as a credit towards a future purchase.

When I'm back to listening I'll probably contiune in my OG listening thread. Wink

That sucks Lon. Not just for you, but I've been planning on living vicariously through your upgrade

.

I spent a bunch of money upgrading my digital a couple years ago, I'm not doing that again for a long long time.

Also, to get back on topic, an old favorite I haven't listened to in a while. Also one of the greatest albums ever made. Uploaded instead of linked, just for the heck of it.

You’re getting your $12 worth! Sorry, shipping delays are the worst. I once had a center channel “delivered” turns out it was up the street for a week before the guy drove down to me. That was a real fiasco. Feeling your frustration, I tried replacing brake lines today and was given the wrong part. My truck ain’t moving til Friday at the earliest now.

I'm shrugging it off. I'll just dart out for groceries first thing in the morning and then hunker down and wait (AGAIN) and hope that it arrives earlier rather than later and I can get some set up.

Gives me a chance to listen to my living-room system a bit more . . . not a bad thing, sounds pretty darned good.

I feel your pain about the brake parts. My worst brake part scenario was when I was trying to redo the brakes on my '64 Alfa Romeo at the end of the 'seventies. They had not imported Alfas to the US until '66 or so and all parts had to be ordered from Italy. I waited three months for the parts to come in. . . and they were not correct. I was lucky and found someone who did have the parts in a few weeks but. . . man that was a drag. I loved driving that car (1600 Spider Veloce).

Mine didn't look this nice. One day I may have a mid-sixties Italian again. That's my kind of car.

The thing that drives me nuts about these brake lines is road salt led to brackets rusting, as they rust they slowly clamp the rubber lines closed. Anyhow, finally getting to sit down and listen.

Took advantage of the PS Audio’s March discount and ordered Zuill Bailey’s “Bach Cello Suites” from Octave records on vinyl. I originally streamed this to become familiar with the recording. Yes it’s all the rave… phenomenally recorded and mastered. It’s dead silent with black backgrounds and nice decay. The music filled my large room with vaulted ceilings with big sound. This album is well worth the money.

Surprisingly…..when I ran it through the Spin Clean before it’s first play… I found a hairline piece of vinyl approximately 1/2 inch long that came off in the water, as well as a few small vinyl bits. Didn’t expect that!

Hi, Dominick.
Living under a rock, I had not heard this selection, Zuill Bailey’s “Bach Cello Suites”.
However, Tidal came to my rescue once again. I let it stream for a while, but it did not take long for a kind of "permanance" to set in for me.

It's almost like there should be a seperate genre for “Bach Cello Suites” since there are SO MANY recordings out there.

Very nice indeed! I feel the warmth of a future purchase building.
Thank you.

DD,

Yes there are many renditions of the Bach Cello Suites…this one….esp. on vinyl was a real treat. If you are considering vinyl…PS audio is running a special for March on a nice discount. I would grab it…it’s worth it.

Now I’m just streaming through Roon Joe Pass & Ella Fitzgerald “ Easy Living”. Very intimate session… it’s just a guitar and vocals. Very good recording and Joe Pass doesn’t overshadow her vocals. Two legendary performers team up to give you great listen.

Those Joe and Ella LPs (there are more!) are wonderful.

From the shelves. . . .

This one came some months back and I listened to the first disc a few times and didn't get to disc the second. . . correcting that now.

Elvin Jones "Revival -- Live at Pookie's Pub" Impulse Japan SHM-CD disc 2

Okay but not great sound. . . but ELVIN!

I went with this along with coffee this morning.

I could not get on yesterday either, Geno. It was so nice outside, though, I did not spin much until later in the evening.

I am still receiving the same ERROR message this morning, then it just goes through after a Refresh. Something is still going on with the site.

FWIW I didn't have any trouble getting on the site yesterday, but there were a number of threads and that were broken, including I think this one. Things seem like they are back to "normal" today.

Must have been an overload of traffic on the net. There was a lot of prank phone calls to schools about active shooters in PA that day. How about DD LonJon. Sounds a little catchy

I am calling my latest (mass?) music acquistion the "stack of stuff" for now.

I am astounded at the fact that she felt the need to warn me that there was probably nothing left in those boxes, since so many people had already scrounged through his albums for over a year.
Mainly because there is some cool stuff in this stack.

From the stack of stuff, I find this oddly relaxing for a rainy day, which we have today, in spades.

Current set up is perfect for some psyche-head sixties music, too.

It has been a while but "Time of the Season" was one of my faves back in the early 70s. Spirited organ playing and smooth harmonies was cherished by I. Even though it is a compilation it surely would have been snagged by me rooting thru the boxes.

It's a good band, JBz! Maybe check out some of their other albums?

They are actually a band that should have done better than a One Hit and Done band.

There are many of those great bands out there from this era.

Keeping with the '60s theme, "After Bathing At Baxter's" from Jefferson Airplane. "Crown Of Creation" to follow. Good stuff.

Reply #47 - 04/04/23 at 21:04:29 Martinu was one of my "lockdown projects" and he quickly became one of my favorite 20th century composers. This is obscure, even for Martinu, downloaded from Qobuz, but I like it a lot and the Prague Philharmonic Choir is an added bonus.
