While this was the ninth studio album by the group, it was only the second since the group went on an extended hiatus nearly a decade earlier. Musically, Long Distance Voyagerbalances itself by employing some of the dreamy, intelligent songs for which the group is best known, as well some modern beat-driven pop tracks. In 1974, after seven albums in seven years and several world tours, the Moody Blues commenced an extended break. Some songs were composed for a near future group album, but these were instead to become Blue Jays, a duo album by guitarist/vocalist Justin Hayward and bassist/vocalist John Lodge. Other group members also released solo albums through the mid 1970s before the group finally reunited to record the 1978 album Octave. This would be the final album to involve keyboardist Mike Pinder. Pinder was replaced by Patrick Moraz, previously with the group Yes, which prompted Pinder to file a lawsuit to prevent a new Moody Blues album from reaching the public without his contributions. Ultimately, the lawsuit was unsuccessful and the Pip Williamsproduced Long Distance Voyager was released in May 1981 and was the first release in a decade and a half not to be produced by Tony Clarke, who had worked on every Moody Blues album since 1967’s Days of Future Passed. This album is also notable as the sole one recorded at the band’s own Threshold Studios, which was custom-designed for the band by Decca Records but disbanded shortly after Decca’s sale to Polygram.

turning light into sound ?

nice bass

with a pair of ear buds listening too black water by the doobie brothers

it says it come with a adc cartridge and new stylus..

it doesn't look like a shure...

1 is to many and 100 is never enough

my mistake to was a 32oz bag....@$17.99...after $5. coupon 13.99...pikes place ground coffee.. and yes I have a burr grinder... I don't have time to grind beans..

can you post a pic of the room... standing in front of the Windows ?

your the initial post...has the right stylus.. if equipped with the factory installed cartridge.... here's another good read... http://www.soundfountain.com/amb/ttadjust.html

for those of you. that are not in the know...part of Frampton 's comes alive....was recoreded at Paul Smith's

if that does not work out I found this.. https://stlouis.craigslist.org/ele/d/jvc-f66-automatic-direct/6274478998.html

you have to go in the winter... for the ice sculptures.... I'm about 140 mile away ..in the foothills of the Adirondacks

all I know is .....the turkeys are smart birds here in the states....try calling on in during the spring hunt....or mating season...we have the spring hunt . the whole month of may...and the fall hunt...in September...

no matter what is said and done... or what format is used... sound waves are still analog.. and the best source is being there. for a live performance..... and the only way to disprove both formats...is listening to live , analog , and digital ...of the same performance ..and do a/b/c...testing

http://www.klipsch.com/blog/digital-vs-analog-audio Home Blog Digital vs Analog Audio: An Overview DIGITAL VS ANALOG AUDIO: AN OVERVIEW Dave Gans September 18, 2015 Regardless of where you stand on the issue, both digital analog recording have their merits. We felt it necessary to break down the two recording methods to give you a better understanding - so the next time you’re in a heated audiophile debate, you will have more ammo to hold your position. DIGITAL VS ANALOG RECORDING PROCESSES No matter which recording process used, analog or digital, both are created by a microphone turning air pressure (sound) into an electrical analog signal. An analog recording is made by then imprinting that signal directly onto the master tape (via magnetization) or master record (via grooves) – from which copies can be made into cassette tapes and vinyl records. Digital recordings take that analog signal and convert it into a digital representation of the sound, which is essentially a series of numbers for digital software to interpret. After the analog signal is digitalized, the recording can be copied and placed onto a compact disc, hard drive or streamed online. AUDIO BANDWIDTH Bandwidth is the ability of a recorded signal to be reproduced at varying degrees of resolution. Think of it like enlarging a low-resolution image versus a high-resolution image. After a certain point, enlarging a lower-resolution image will become pixelated and difficult to see, where the hi-resolution image will resize clearly. Like images, audio signals can have a limited bandwidth if recorded digitally. Once a digital recording is made, the bandwidth is set in place. An analog recording is considered unlimited. Therefore, it can move to a higher and higher resolution without losing its original quality. Why does bandwidth matter? It really depends on what you’re listening to your music with. If you have a pair of overpriced earbuds that cost $8 to make but you paid $200 to cover the company’s advertising budget, then you’re probably ok with any mediocre bandwidth. On the contrary, if you’ve invested in quality audio reproduction speakers (like the Klipsch Reference Premiere series speakers) – the greater the bandwidth, the greater potential you have for sound. SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is the amount of noise generated by the recording’s signal to your speakers. Digital recordings can have a greater signal-to-noise ratio depending on the bit depth of the recording. What the hell is bit depth, you say? Think of a sound wave in a digital recording format to looking more like a set of stairs, rather than smooth hills The digital wave must walk up and down stairs, as opposed to smoothly roll over hills. This jump in elevation can create a digital noise. The smooth analog signal matches the recorded sound wave better than the steps of a digital recording. However, the analog medium (vinyl or magnetized tape) the recording is imprinted on can have tiny imperfections that cause cracking and popping noise.

where in the dacs ?

the needle doctor and l.p. gear.. are good reference for cartridges.. l.p. gear goes a little further in known factory installed cartridges.. on turntable makes and models... so it looks like check the cartridge for brand and model....and take from there... I hope this helps you and anyone else.....
