Thanks! Must be great to listen to!

I swore given the madness of this hobby i would never go to vinyl...never say never, but i have not yet been tempted. I am just focused on optimizing my digital setup, and buying loads of cheap CDs second hand from Amazon for 2-3 bucks each (including a lot of nice remasters, and some of the more expensive but still relatively affordable second hand FIM, K2, XRCDs)

 

Day's list

Abraxas - Santana
Black Coffee - Al Kooper
Waltz across America - Cowboy Junkies
Spirit - Jewel

 

John, you're enjoying that new MFSL Ray Charles album, aren't you? I just acquired it myself. Have you ever seen him in concert? Phenomenal.

I'm very happy with it, yes! Never did see RC live I'm sorry to say, although I did have the pleasure of seeing James Brown 3 times. Phenomenal is also a word I would use for JB!

 

I know how you feel as my fretting hand ain't what it used to be, pita...Always played a nylon, started with a Gibson GS1, bought it from an FTG2 when he was discharged, then picked up a Guild MK4

Jazz @ the Pawnshop, good choice. I have a few of that one, really like the K2HD from FIM

I haven't gotten into the high quality CD thing, but I might give it a try one day. I keep saying I should get a nice little player like an Oppo 95 or something...maybe next year.

 

Angelique Kidjo – Jazz a Saint-Germain
Pedro Almodovar – Viva La Tristeza
SENS - A City Of Sadness (OST) K2HD

it is a good time buy CDs while they're still cheap. we saw this 20-yrs ago when used vinyl was cheap. I cant say that now based on what im seeing at used record stores, thats if you can find one with any significant sellection of vinyl, new or used.

 

Just think: 10 to 20 years ago, $300,000 would have bought you that many CDs.

Today, you'll get the same number of CDs for only $20,000!

Quite amaxing!

Zenph Re-Performance[/i]- Glenn Gould SACD

Hi Ron,

I am very curious about the Zenph Re-Performance of the Glenn Gould Bach variations...have you compared it to the original? I have the Sony 1983 recording. I also have the Rachmaninoff re-performance which i think is quite good (though i have not studied the original recordings of Rachmaninoff playing his own works.)

Thanks for any insight to the Zenph re-performance...i have heard very good things about it.
