  • Let me know what you think if and when you buy it    :bz

    I've just bought a mint vinyl copy for a fiver inc. postage.

    I'l let you know how it goes.
  • Jim,

    Where did you get your vinyl copy ??

    Scotty
  • Ebay.  Out of the hundred or so LPs I've bought from there in the last year I've only had two that were unplayable and I got refunded.

    I was the only bidder at £1.99 and he wanted £3 postage.
  • Jammy git !    :O

    Indeed - some really well-crafted 'pop' songs with well-grounded musical structure. Great fun, and a really dynamic recording too (mine's on vinyl). Best played REALLY loud too! :)

    "the perfect stare of perfect eyes that kiss you as they tell you lies..." Lucky you.

    I was a teenager when that was out - lyrics like that don't leave hormone drenched kids...
  • PS - you got a fast sale on that DAC mate! Result!

    Didn't think it'd take long - DM's seem to go quite quickly. Bought Si's hot-rodded CA 840C so looking forward to hearing how that sounds - it'll be used mostly for its dac. Picking that up from his place tomorrow.

    You can tell him I'm loving his battery pack for the Young DAC then - you'll get to hear his too. Perhaps you might tell him we've got quite a discussion going over the Young's power supply now - he's welcome to join in. Some more technical knowledge might be a good thing, and he seems very capable.

    Any idea what Si's done to it Richard?

    Jim - Si's done the following (Chevron Audio did the work I believe)...

    1. High accuracy Tentlabs XO module, supplied by a local 5v tentlabs shunt module- a bit more toe tappy.

    2. Paul Hynes regulator for the digital line on the DAC chips, decoupled
    from the analogue line- signifcant improvement in replay across the
    board, removal of glare.

    3. Balanced outs, disconnected for better sound and reduced power supply noise- quieter ground plane.

    4. Output stage rebuilt with Analgoue Devices high bandwidth low noise
    opamps and LM4562's with additional decoupling. Entire stage biased into
    class A.

    5. RCA plugs replaced with solid Silver CMC rcas' and wired direct to the board with 4n silver in cotton braid.

    Should be good hopefully! :)
  • Blimey!! Just a wee tune up then


    :-O

    Hope it's good mate.
  • I get the impression, from dealing with Simon, that it'll be nothing if not excellent. He is pretty no-nonsense to say the least.


  • You seem to have a penchant for things NOLA, Mr Brown.

    How are you with stuff like the Neville Brothers and the Meters?
  • Love it. I have two or three meters (they were the house band in Allen Toussaint's studio for years) - from memory I have Cabbage Alley & rejuvenation, maybe another one somewhere. The only Neville I have is Aaron Neville's solo album 'Warm Your Heart', which is just joyous & beautifully recorded. Apart from copious Dr John I also have Allen Toussaint's 'The Bright Mississippi' & the earlier 'From a Whisper To A Scream'. Check out the little instrumental 'Either' from this. It follows the track 'Everything I Do Gohn Be Funky' and he was not lying.

    So yeah - I quite like it. Enjoying some luscious texture on those funky bass-lines right now.
    B-)
  • I like the Nevilles' Yellow Moon, even if its production has lost the top end.

    Van der Graff Generator - To He Who Am The Only One

    Is this jazz?  I reckon it might be.
  • Nine Horses - Snow Borne Sorrow
  • Lindisfarne - Nicely Out Of Tune
  • Van der Graff Generator - To He Who Am The Only One

    Is this jazz?  I reckon it might be.
    I disagree with you there, Jim. How is VDGG jazz?? 
  • Sorry. Can't stand the VDGG, so thought of something more obvious, and more obviously climbing over the jazz fence:
