I posted " two against nature " in the YouTube spinning thread yesterday , that was recorded from 1997 till 1999 and was released in the year 2000 , it´s quiet good ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one! lol Yeah, I bought this double LP today! Very 'swinging', excellent guitar solos and, of course, excellent sound quality. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebuy Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I decided Not to but a TT because of the Price of Records. I see these special releases and the prices are just stoopidly high. I can't pay two or three hundred $ for a record and even if I could, I would not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see these special releases and the prices are just stoopidly high. I can't pay two or three hundred $ for a record and even if I could, I would not. Up to now, I have avoided buying these expensive special releases too. But listening to vinyl records needn't be expensive at all. I have my personal collection of vinyl albums which goes back to the 1980s, and I have recently bought a lot of interesting albums in the local thrifstore for 0.5 to 3 euro per album! You can buy really good, new pressings of classic albums for around 20 euro / dollar per album, eg Maiden Voyage, a Blue Note album. You can buy a really good pre-owned TT for around 200 euro, a fraction of a new TT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one! lol https://essentialhomestudio.com/what-is-sibilance-in-audio/ There aren't many Steely Dan live albums, so I have no regrets buying this one! There is, however, something a little bit annoying: in Donald Fagen's singing, I can hear a distracting sibilant /s/, a distortion that I also hear in the high hat sometimes. I first picked it up on my Heresy speakers, and today, I listened to the album on my Beyerdynamic headphones. Side 3, in Things I miss the most and in Aja. My tangential turntable normally is sibilant free, so I guess it is the recording or pressing that is to blame. These reviewers don't mention it, so maybe it's just me... https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/steely-dan-northeast-corridor-steely-dan-live/ https://www.uncut.co.uk/reviews/album/steely-dan-donald-fagen-northeast-corridor-steely-dan-live-donald-fagen-the-nightfly-live-134287/ https://360degreesound.com/album-review-northeast-corridor-steely-dan-live/ Edit The sibilant s is not present on Spotify, so this motivated me to give both the needle and the vinyl record a good cleaning, and things improved quite a bit. Conclusion? This song is a good test for your tt's handling of sibilants! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Fair enough. Some live lps have this throughout, typically older recording. Since now as opposed to then, care must have been taken to create a sound recording for a live release. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
