Graceland on Vinyl
Posted by: MangoMonkey on 04 August 2012
Listening to this the first time ever, and on vinyl to boot.
COSMIC.
Typing this today and on a keyboard, to boot.
But if you put a hicap on the keyboard, it will emit poetry. Oh, and dont forget to audition a power line. Once you get used to it, you won't be able to love without. Don't do an A/B test though. Give it a week to settle in first.
And if you are hankering for an upgrade? Source first.
If your still not happy, move the screen a few mm to the right or left for best stereo vision.
Put a flatcap. Put a hicap. No wait put a supercap.
Oh, but you Need to go to x+1, that's when your system will sing.
And then the other group: nait 5i is all you'll ever need.
And Naca 5 is the answer to all the mysteries of life.
And din is better than RCA, and the standard din is really really good.
@Adam: yeah, that pretty much sums up this forum. No posts needed any more.
Or would you have preferred a debate on the various Vinyl pressings? And how compression is making expensive HiFi moot?
Graceland has one of the all time great openings and many hooks and riffs thru the album with great lyrics. I was captivated by "She had diamonds on the souls of her shoes"
Friends I rented from had a christmas party that was also a closing party for an airline crew in Santa Barbara. At the end of the party there was a joy that was going to crash to the floor in sobs as 12 people were going to be moving on. I punched the start button on Graceland and the party sailed on to new heights and good byes. My roommates thanked me ever so much for helping make it a success.
I love Paul's whole career, his solo works I think can be the best. It's comfort food to me, the lyrics but also musicianship he gets in the studios.
