Randy Weston: Blue Moses CTI

I keep playing this one because the music is great and it just sounds so amazing through the ZP3.

Disc 4. Found a copy at Half Price Books (my pal David gave me a gift card) for 19.99. Case was broken but discs and paper pristine. One of the best used deals I've found in a while. This has been out of print for a long time.

Beautiful album. Just picked up a stack of ECM label vinyl...usually very well recorded and this is no exception.

Mosaic Select #5, Paul Chambers.   Just fantastic playing and a wonderful collection of recordings.  Unfortunately on CD, but still good.

For anyone who is interested, the new Rhino version on vinyl is much better than the Sundazed edition. Very very good IMO.

The sentimental favorite of my Tull albums.



Played the most over the years. . . and still in pretty good shape.

Flipping between the rip of the SACD on the PWD and the actual SACD in the Oppo. No comparison on the SACD multichannel; it's just something else. But stereo to stereo, it's a toss-up, something I suspect may be due to the fact that extracting hi-res tracks from SACDs is still part voodoo. I know it's not in the cards, but I sure wish PS Audio could make an SACD-compatible PWT.

These albums bring back a lot of great memories of when I was stationed in Memphis Tennesee while I was in the Navy.   Smiley

2 For 1 in the music bin at Amoeba Music in Hollywood ... Has anybody ever been there?  This music store occupies an ENTIRE CITY BLOCK on Sunset Boulevard in downtown.  It's the biggest music and movie store I've ever seen and maybe even the biggest in the world!  The Jazz Room is crazy ... supposedly over a million titles!

Lon, you're a bad influence on my habit and my wallet. Wink

Checking out that Duke SACD proved more challenging than I had thought. Found a new one on fleabay, "discounted" to $289, and thank goodness had the sense to do a more thorough search where I found another purportedly new one for just $160. Both claim to be sealed, but I have seen that before. Come Tuesday, we shall have a listen!

Sorry Greg, didn't realize it was going for that much. It's a great session of music and the MoFi SACD sounds better than a vinyl version I have which surprised me. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Just having fun Lon. All the MoFi SACDs are expensive, and at $160, this one isn't even the worst. Some Patricia Barber versions went insane over the last few years.

Boy do I know it. I won't pay that sort of money for discs I'm afraid. I was thrilled that MoFi was doing this Ellington on SACD and pre-ordered it way back when so only have the original price into my copy. I sold a few dozen SACDs last year when I was a bit short of making my property tax payment, but didn't sell that one. For me it's that rare thing: music I love that is also a fantastic mastering.

Just got this note from the seller:

Quote:
I want to thank you for your purchase of this important and exceptional SACD. It pleases me that there are a few audiophiles in America who still hold quality over quantity. This is a very important production, in my opinion. Thank you for this purchase and your respectful ear and heart.

Gotta love that.

The ZP3 has hit a new phase lately. I just listened to two sides of this release, which I've had since it first hit the stores what seems as if it were a long time ago. It's never sounded like this before on any medium, just amazing percussive sound and overall ambiance.

Well, I could have lived without it but I'm glad I finally was able to afford the upgrade. Mk II improves my DVR and Blu-ray sources, which were impressive before then. There's less improvement on my Redbook sound imo, I'm using the PWT for those discs and it already has a "digital lens" inside and adding one more in the path I think does improve the sound, but it's less so than adding one for the other inputs (which didn't have one beforehand) has brought.

I'm very happy with my digital front end now (or still, or again). And now my analog front end is as good as I feel it can be for now as well, and I'm enjoying that world of sound immensely too. It's giving my Redbook cd habit a run for its money.

I am probably being dense here, but how are you routing your DVR and BluRay through the PWD?

Remember, I'm a died in the wool Luddite two channel person who does not do surround sound.

I have the DVR coming in to the PWD via the optical input and the Blu-ray via the coaxial RCA input.

Some James McMurtry. In mono, or more correctly, from my right channel. I really need to get off of my butt and order myself some new tubes.
