I thought I had listened to this Analogue Productions reissue in the past....apparently not as it was still sealed...Sonny in excellent form.

Listening through the `green` WE 16g`s
No need to burn these in. They sound very nice indeed. The flow of a jazz phrase is somehow enhanced.

So Syd,  what'd the green WE's end up costing per foot?...in pounds or dollars...I can convert.  Where was the seller?  I changed my order as I told you and now have four 10 foot lengths of the WE 16g coming...two red, two black, for a dollar a foot plus a few for postage.  My seller will be back from his Canadian Vacation tomorrow. Mark.

Mark, 10 mt`s for £11.70. per foot equals.....
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261643173623?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=S...
The photo makes them look rough, they are quite nice, about the same shade that my light red ones are that I got from the seller you`re using. Black inner sleeve. They sound a bit more refined.
They may carry an extra premium in price because they are older WE`s. No they are cheaper than I thought. I might get some more.  :)



This albums quite dreamy and Paul Motian gets plenty of channels for his drum kit.

So Syd,  11.70 pounds equals $18.20 and 10 meters equals about 33 feet so you paid about 55 cents per foot...a bargain.  Mark.

PS... 5 meters ...so it would be about $1.10 per foot...about the same as the american seller.

PSS...Syd,  I looked at the ad...it says 10 meters for 11.70.   Was that a mistake?

PSSS...my calculations don't include postage....5 pounds would be $7.78 USD...  So, including postage, if you got 10 meters it would be 79 cents per foot...double that if you only got 5 meters

Mark, the adverts right. £11.70 + £5.00 post
I make it apprx 75-80 cents/ft with post.
Not sure if it sounds different or the `new` WE from the usual vendor who`s back tomorrow has some more `settling in` to do. I guess it has.
Hopefully his wire will arrive next week.

Over the years I've learned to like this one more and more. The always interesting Hermeto Pascoal make it for me. Deodata arrangements help a lot too.

Back to this one. Side 4. Sounds so much better on vinyl than on any of the cd releases I have.

Lon...is that the new MFSL release of KOB?   If so, how does it sound?   Are you listening to the SACD layer?

Yes, I'm just listening to the SACD layer. It sounds really good, in line with the other MoFi Miles releases.

I'm not sure it's better than my other recent KOB reissue though, the Ultra HD 32-bit. That sounds incredible. Just Redbook, but newly mixed from the original tapes and sounds so full and natural.

Yeah, side two of Axis the red WE showed it`s paces. Methinks the green may not be ......
The AY Experienced record is a bit worse for wear so I took it off. Axis plays n/m. The Track label version.

Hey dirtdawg....Many of my CD's vs LP's listens yield the same results..LP are just so much better in all sonic departments.  Peter Gabriel US LP is amazing...I've listened to it 3 nites in a row..

I woke up at 2 AM today but I had gone to bed at 8:30 pm...so I got up.  I wanted to watch CNBC but there was a Coin selling program there.  I turned on TCM and watched a bit of "The Swarm" from the 70's...somehow I had managed to miss it until now.  I could only take about a half an hour.  I know "Disaster" films from this era are almost always bad but this has to be the worst.  It did have an amazing cast....perhaps all giving their worst performances on film.

Anyway,  I've pulled out the Keystone Bill Evans Box and put in the first CD.  The music is excellent but the background noise of the recording is far too great to choose this box over the far better recordings found on the 1980 Vanguard Box.  Mark.

PS...I'll add that by the third tune you don't notice the poor recording so much and the music is stellar.  It's hard to believe Bill would be gone in about two weeks.

See, with me if the music is better it doesn't matter if the sound is not quite as good, I'm going to prefer the one where the music is better. It's about the music for me, the sound is the icing on the cake, but I'm in it for the cake.

Right now

Spun this SACD before my classical listening at Dad's begins. Sounds amazing. Always interesting to hear this first recording when you know what came afterwards. One of the few true geniuses in the pop world.
