what are you listening to?

SRV On Pre-recorded Cassette

Pulled the Marantz SD-9000 out of storage, as in a couple of weeks I plan to do a mix tape exchange with a recording done at 2X-speed or 3.75 i.p.s.. The likely deck to use would be my Teac C-3X, as the Marantz has no tape calibration, bias fine tuning - just tape type selector.

All those buttons and no tape calibration? Interesting...

Pretty deck, though.

Impressive bass line capture ... from a mobile device. The entire spectrum is good tbh albeit curved, but I was taken by the low end for sure.

Put the single drivers back in the system the other day and took a good listen tonight. No active crossover. Started with some John Mellencamp - the drum mix on the Pink Houses album is revelatory on these things. The power of the drum kit on Crumblin' Down - and the air that was captured (or added as reverb?) - sat me back on the couch. This from digitized vinyl at 24/192.
 
My new 3.5mm to RCA Y-connector from Chris Cables after I got in from my show last night. Found the "missing" bass that I've previously noted from the A&K DAP in comparison to my DAC. Will listen more tomorrow after the last show is over tonight but nicely done, Chris, nicely done!

Loaded the cdc again after listening to overnight music for a week (streamed, bedroom, echoes.org has the playlists) and heard the following...twice

KKSF-FM 103.7 Sampler #2
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Second Helping
Jethro Tull - The Best Of Jethro Tull: The Anniversary Collection one of the two discs
Santana - The Best Of Santana
Neil Young - Harvest Moon

Was just working around the house, mostly kitchen making the birthday dinner. Today I put in a couple discs I had not heard and left three of them in the machine.

Tomorrow a new set goes in. Dang the rig sounds good these days.

I use that same series Amohenol RCA, wonderful to work with, plenty of room and appear to be without a glaring weakness....Nice Chris...
