As Raja Ram said " I would say that Shpongle is a drug that's administered through the ears"
My "baby horns" sure make it an enjoyable listen,....... always .
You would really enjoy this new mastering Lee.

[Vintage 700b]

A little Jazz and some kick ass Blues today. Blew the dust off of this John Hammond album
and cranked the WOPL'd 700b...... Chased the spiders out of their webs !!!! .
If you love the Blues, Hammond is one of the best ever.......but if you love the Blues, you already know that !

[Vintage 700b]

Today a little Blues/Rock – Georgia Peach Music and some Texas Blues.
I bought the Allman Brothers Live at the Filmore East album new in 1971. To this day it has to be one of my top 10 favorite albums of all time. This is the original, and while they have re-released it, remastered it, added to it, this one still sounds the best to me. No detail can hide listening through the WOPL 700b. It is a masterpiece.

Each of these guys is a master in his own right, and Copeland and Cray learned from Albert Collins.
Very enjoyable album…played loud !

1971 1st Pressing – 2 Record Gatefold...

First pressing, that's nice. I listen to one of the remastered vinyl versions that came out about 15 years ago or so; it's quite good. The first copy I had was a Quad disc, which sounded kind of thin, as I recall. Should have hung onto it but I sold it off after getting the remaster. Some days I'm an idiot.

Just found the 2014 release of Fillmore East with nearly complete recordings from all three nights over on the Pro Studio Masters hi-res download site. $82 in 24 bit/192 kHz resolution, less for 24/96 and FLAC files. It's titled The 1971 Fillmore East Recordings. Artwork looks to be the same as the original album. Have no idea if there's a vinyl version or not.

Hi Bob,
That 2014 release of all 3 nights is a great set to have. For me that music is precious and having the complete (or more complete) set of recordings is fantastic. 24bit/192 will sound amazing as well. Great score.
There is a vinyl edition of the 2014, 3 night remaster. It is a 4 record set, and goes for between $300 and $400. Great material to have.

Gene, I have no idea. Pops are usually static electricity heard on AM.

It would be a sure candidate for transfer to 15 ips reel to reel if I still owned such.

 

[J!m]

I have the “showdown” record on CD. Good stuff.

It definitely would Bob.
I had a TEAC A-7010 GSL Auto Reverse/Ferrite Head reel to reel in the 70's, and sold it when I moved, about 1980. I had so much fun with that deck, and it was the party favorite, because I could put together tapes for certain groups, and it would play all night. Great memories there! I have often thought about getting back into it, but .....so little time. I have wished I kept that deck many, many times. Never had a bit of trouble with it, just took really good care of it maintenance wise.

I miss my Revoxes every now and then; still have the PR99 at work, sitting in wood side panels I made for it. But this room is so small and with a desk tucked in the corner, there's just no space. The iMac for my digital files is clutter enough sitting on top of the record shelves.

 

[Bob Boyer]

Which got me to thinking, I'm listening to this these days:



It's Boz Scaggs Greatest Hits - Live tonight.

 

[George S.]

something is gettin in there...

Yup, most probably. But your saying it only does it on that one frequency. If that's the strongest frequency, then perhaps there's a issue with the AGC (Automatic Gain Control) circuit. You may want to try a antenna with less gain to see if it changes.
Can't find your photo of the antenna you built, but I remember there were other elements mounted on the mast. Perhaps a emission there on the mast?

 

[Vintage 700b]

Today I fired up the WOPL 700b Time Machine and blew the dust off of a couple old favorites. I bought both of these albums shortly after they came out in 1970, and 1971 respectively. They were classics then, still amazing today. Both are very well engineered, with front and center soundstages. They put a smile on my face . The liner note for the Bull Angus Album says it all !!!! Play it loud. The soundstage on that album is especially well done, as they make note of with the guitars L/R.

Used to have all the Spirit albums. Going to check out Bull Angus, very, very, dim recollections of that one in a smoke filled room in Sugar Creek OH long ago.
I love old vinyl.

 

[62vauxhall]

I too have that Bull Angus LP. And saw them live. They were between the headliner, Cactus and the warmup band, The Eagles.

There were maybe 20 people in the audience when The Eagles played but the place (smallish auditorium) filled up before Bull Angus came on.
