Great Tweak To Improve Music Listening (1 Viewer)

[John Garcia]

I haven't listened to my vynil in a LONG time (like 10+ years). I no longer have a TT. My vynil is just sitting there :frowning: I may have to break down and go get a new TT...

I know its hard for some people to convert to SACD, since it lacks a lot of music. Say,Led Zepplin, Pink FLoyd, or possibly even Rage Against The Machine. I only did simply because a lot of Miles Davis albums were on it, and some other albums.

John, too bad you did'nt purchase the vinyl releases of Miles Davis. A lot of his library has been picked up by Classic Records as has Tony Bennett. Analogue Productions has also re-released many quality records from the past.
The sound quality is absolutely amazing from these records.
I don't miss having SACD in the least when it comes to music from the 50's, 60's,70's. A good quality pressing played back on a good analog front end can be an enlightening experience. I have had the pleasure of hearing Miles Davis on SACD at a local dealer on B&W 800 sig. speakers and Levinson amp + pre with Marantz SACD and I was'nt blown away, I'll stick to vinyl for these old precious artists compositions.

It's not that I dont have LP copies of Miles Davis or other SACD albums, I just find them sometimes easier to use, but they are not as always as comaprable as their vinyl brother. As an example in Kind of Blue, I can swear to god that Bill Evans in Blue And Green is inside my left speaker.

Anyway, SACD is an alternative to people who love small shiny things, and dont want to have take constant care of vinyl equipment and lp's.

#11 - put the oil based product on the rotating platter....pop, click, pop, click, pop, click....

No, that's only if you dont take proper care of the vinyl, or do not use something like static guard for certain applications.
