  1. Thorens TD 166 MKII  TT with Ortofon 2M Blue

    Ohm FRS-11 Speakers

    McIntosh C-28 Pre Amp

    Bryston 5B ST (curb find!)

    Couple of Nakamichi cassette decks in the wings, waiting to get sorted. 

     

    The Bryston is a crazy random find. When I first moved to Brooklyn around 2010, my wife and I were walking in our neighborhood that has some pretty sweet $$ brownstones and I happen to see this on the curb and was stunned to say the least. It was also trash day, so someone must have been tossing this! Felt I knew the name at the time, but it was still well worth hauling the block home and researching the piece. It has some heft to it! Turns out the company has a crazy no questions asked 20 year warranty on all their stuff. It still had a few years left on the warranty, so got in contact with them, sent it to their US repair center in VT and had it sorted. There really wasn't anything wrong with it and it cost me like $80 to send and get checked out. It was the basis of my stereo and has been ever since. It's a tank! 

     

    The pre-amp that I had before the Mcintosh, which was a 70's Rotel piece, was also a curb find. 

  2. Found one on discogs, so this can be deleted. Thanks. 

     

     

     

     

    Yep, looking for one. The newer repress is perfectly fine. Only caught onto Dallas' music in June, so totally missed this one as a result. Thanks in advance for any leads. Happy Holidays! 

  3. Received this email from Ambient Inks today about the coke bottle clear I ordered:

    No big deal. I appreciate the update from them.

    So, he hasn't listened to it yet but says it's probably not as good as the Grundman pressings. Good unboxing though.

    Might be this one or his new release vid that he usually does once a week, I forget which, but he says he heard from a solid source that this pressing is digitally sourced, leaving the Grundman one as one of the better pressings. He also did a comparison video earlier this year of several pressings, this not included of course, and said the very first non-CRC pressing is the best, followed by most any of the Bernie Grundman pressings.

    They also have the cheapest price for the clear vinyl box I've seen so far:

    https://justforkicks.de/shop/progressive/11720/closure/continuation-3lp-clear-heavy-weight-in-hardcover-slipcase

     

    I didn't buy it, but this shipped to my address on the US east coast from Germany is $91.25. Not all that bad. Seems to be shipped with DHL as well, so that seems good.

    Really wondering how limited this? PT cut at 45rpm, under the watchful eye, one hopes, of SW is a dream come true! 

    This release being announced this far in advance feels like something they had to do, simply since vinyl productive is taking so long currently. Either way, pretty jazzed for new Porcupine Tree. I like the SW solo stuff and he's great live, but that last release was... something!

  6. Saw Dallas on Sunday for the first time. Really great show. He had one other guy playing several different instruments during about half the set. Two Coins and Comin' Home were highlights for me. Hope to see him with a full band in the future however. At any rate, the only vinyl for sale was Guide Me Back Home on black for $45. Not bad, but that is readily available. The hunt for "Little Hell" at a decent price continues!
