GWSmith Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Hello friends..........glad to make it back with a bit of vinyl listening. It was a somewhat saddening morning when I learned of the passing of Tony Bennett. So, today - Friday- I am doing a little tribute with the two albums from my library. To start, the living room system / Bang and Olufsen with UTurn Custom and Klipsch RP-600m standmounts. I will return after I go to the market and spin the other recording from Music Hall. RIP Tony 🍷 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also found their last note interesting being the first and second notes of the scale (whole step apart) Just got back from the market, so I will be spinning what I believe his last duo album. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Good evening everyone. Well, at days end, it is time to relax here in LFM Hall and continue my tribute to Tony Bennett whom passed away today. This album is a celebration of Gershwin with the Diana Krall and Bill Charlap Trio. Recorded in 2018 in NYC. at Jimmy Hendrick's studio (Electric Ladyland), where my 80ies career rock band recorded TWICE! Listening to the sweet sounds of the Willsenton integrated now outfitted completely with JJ. Electronics tubes (latest rolling) including EL-34 outputs driving the Forte' 4's. Here is the cover art. Inner sleave photo.... Rear cover art..... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full Range Posted July 22, 2023 Author Share Posted July 22, 2023 Just arriving and unpacked Will open and give a thorough clean before spinning later on tonight Fingers crossed it is faultless as a small number have reported quality issues Artist - Mike Oldfield Title - Tubular Bells 50th anniversary 1/2 speed Album ID - https://www.discogs.com/release/27186831-Mike-Oldfield-Tubular-Bells- 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Full Range Posted July 22, 2023 Author Share Posted July 22, 2023 I am glad to report that the 50th anniversary Tubular Bells was well packed in its cover and the paper sleeves were plastic lined so the record was not scuffed But I did notice a few fingerprints on the record surface After cleaning I settled in for a listen and my first impressions were excellent Just a quick evaluation for ya all Overall it’s a well mixed record with everything in place However if they just reduced the loudness of the pipe organ at the lower register by 10% it would be perfect Having said that it was very enjoyable to have the musical layers open up very cleanly to just enjoy the work without having to strain the ears on certain complex notes that are dotted throughout the record So it was a good purchase in my opinion 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full Range Posted July 23, 2023 Author Share Posted July 23, 2023 I gave the Garrard 401 its annual service today, noting that it was built in 1965/6 In the past I have pulled it all apart to service everything and made judicial modifications I also took this opportunity to replace the face plate made of stainless steel that I purchased many years ago Looks and works like new again Everything in the drive section pulled apart ( old face plate ) All back together after cleaning, lubricating and sanding all the drive surfaces to remove rubber and shine - including the idler wheel and eddy brake New face plate ready to go on See just like new again 🤘 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
