Someone's TD-160 Super needs to have a run-in with a can of black spray paint to looks its best. But The tunes probably sound good from that machine. Some good choices there.

I've been doing the radio with XPN playing the top 885 songs from this century. I know almost all the artists, only recognize a small percentage of the songs by name.

Then "Echoes brings together a wide array of styles, from acoustic to electronic, jazz to space music, the avant-garde to rock. Echoes is a sound that is cross-cultural and trans-millennial, merging cultures and forms, technology and tradition, the ancient past and the possible future." Playing selections from the top albums of the year. Not sleeping last night I got to hear London Grammar 3 times in the number 4 position. Was a good show.

Then today driving had something in the CD Changer I liked. I'll check on that.

Gonna get to the records soon, gotta look over the needles I have since I got an inspection microscope the other day and know how to use it.

The Angels - Dark Room
I have setup this Hitachi HT-50s direct drive for playing less than perfect records that have not been cleaned. Also 45’s, it is the only table I have with auto return. Standard cartridge with new stylus. Not broken in yet.

Dropped off my wife’s car for service and the loaner has satellite radio. This station is excellent if you like proper jazz (not smooth jazz crap).

The Steve Wilson remix ...

 

[Bob Boyer]

Listening party over at Robert D's house last night. If his new Revel F328 BEs weren't broken in before, they are now. More efficient than his big Sonus Fabers, bigger sound, as well. Seamless. Great imaging, killer sound overall. The Benchmark amps weren't even breathing hard and we were pushing it.

Me likey.

Everything from John Cougar Mellencamp to Parliament to Neil Young to Little Feat with a little Traffic from Welcome to The Canteen thrown in for some live music. Sounded better than the concert ever hoped to. Great chili, good moonshine, much fun.
