AndreG. Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 So it just happens that I own two copies of Pink Floyds Wish You were here: One german, side A scratched, paper inner sleve and postcard. The other italian, side B scratched, inner sleve made of thin cardboard. One day I´ll get one, with both sides intact! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeloManiac Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 One of the lesser known Prince albums: Around the world in a day. There is one classic on it: Raspberry Beret, but I like these songs even better: Condition of the heart and Temptation 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1291 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Back from the MacDude! Sounds great, looks great and the price was right. Now where to put it. Couple ideas but I still need that extra inch or two. I'm stumped but not stumped. @KROCKI think I'm gonna wire up those old Marantz Electrostatic headphones. Cross your fingers! 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeloManiac Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 On 7/20/2022 at 11:56 AM, MeloManiac said: Back in the 1980s, Dire Straits was hugely popular, and for me their first 4 or 5 albums were/are the best: Dire Straits (epinominous), Making Movies, Communique, and Telegraph Road, and then their live album Alchemy. Knopfler also had brought out soundtracks like 'Local Hero' and 'Cal'. By the time Brothers in Arms came out, they were so huge, filling stadiums, and I always thought that album was very polished and 'commercial', without rough edges - though the lyrics are a mixed bag, with a lot of sarcasm, eg 'Why worry' and 'Money for nothing'. In my pretty complete collection, I have one album not on vinyl, but on CD: Telegraph Road. Back then, I had it on cassette tape - the tape that introduced me to Dire Straits - and I found it so good that I promised myself this one I would buy on CD. Well, I eventually did in... 2018. The thing is, that historically, Telegraph Road was one of the first commercially available CDs. It did come out on vinyl, and so did Brothers in Arms, but back then, the hype was Digital and CD, not analog and vinyl... So I always find it kind of funny when people, myself included, post pictures of Brothers in Arms on vinyl, because when it came out, it was all about the digital quality! Erratum: Love Over Gold is the Dire Straits album on which you can listen to the amazing song Telegraph Road. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeloManiac Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 The diagnosis is official now... I'm an audiophile! 😉 Each time I play a record, I go through this procedure: 1) I take the loupe and inspect the stylus 2) I clean the stylus with the small white brush 3) I inspect the stylus again with the loupe. If not okay, back to step 1 4) I clean the record surface with the carbon brush. 5) I clean the carbon brush. 6) I repeat steps 4 and 5 twice. 7) I close the lid and play the record's side A. 😎Before playing side B, go through steps 1-7! NB This is for 'clean' records, of course. Dalida, J'attendrai (1974) 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeloManiac Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Almost midnight. My teenage son came downstairs and told me he could feel the bass of my music while lying in bed. The volume of my 12wpc Leben Hifi is at 9 o'clock. Anybody telling the Heresies don't have enough bass should come to my home! Go Go Penguin, A Humdrum Star Edit: Is there a server problem?

You might check out https://postimages.org/ You can use their site as a host or get the small app for your computer. I found it right clicking on photos here. When I heard the Heresy II at a friends place I knew I could have some Klipsch for myself. Tight, in your face sound pressure for less than a grand. Knew the Khorns I'd heard were too much $$ for me. Ordered H IIs a couple weeks later. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeloManiac Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 No spinning of vinyl for the next couple of weeks because I'm on holiday in the Austrian Dolomite area. A beautiful 'vintage' mountain cabin. And a wonderful vintage FM Radio as my only 'analog audio source'. Edit: again, my images are 'skipped' because of their file size... So in my account settings I was able to delete my oldest images. The limit size of attachments is a total of 146Mb 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
