Who, indeed.

One of the better live recordings I’ve come across to date. Cut a little low, likely since it’s not compressed, but from material to room sound this is a gem. All the players are in very fine form here! #jazz #hifi

Purchased, if you can believe it, rather a lot of heady jazz records today. Real nice stereo/quad copy of this banger!

All of the Khansahib sides on Connoisseur Society are pure gold, but this is the one I always come back to. A stunning performance and possibly the best stereo image that has ever been put to tape. #hifi #vinyl

Some great picks from the Save the LP show here in #Beaverton today!

This is much better on the deck than any of the needle drops online led me to believe. Really glad I took a chance on this one!

Digging on a business trip sometimes pays off. First stereo press, ‘58, Atlantic green labels. #hifi #jazz #vinyl

Not usually a McLaughlin girlie but pretty strong stuff here. #vinyl #jazz #ctirecords

A lot of questionable reprints out there these days but this decidedly is not one of them. They really did right by the masters here! 2024 Analogue Productions AAA reprint of Chico Freeman's "Spirit Sensitive"

Vibing the fuck out?? On a Wednesday? Couldn’t be me

Visited MONO SPACE in PDX today, a new hifi listening space/gallery. Some excellent selections from the inimitable #KMHD host Bryson Wallace on a formidable OJAS based system drawing heavily from historical Altec gear. A lot to like here, will be interesting to see how this evolves!

Revisiting this gem on the big boys this evening. In a banner year for bonkers wax gets, this takes the cake. A masterclass in basically everything. #hifi #vinyl #jazzsky

Whipped up a batch of pumpkin spice muffins... a dense, but radiant muffin, of my own design... and couldn't quite put my finger on what was missing, till it hit me: why not poooooot forth a quarter ounce green rosetta at the summit?

I'm not sure who's putting out these newer Muse reprints but, man, this is actually better sounding than many of my originals. Great value! #vinyl #hifi #DomUmRomao

Been eyeing this at a local shop for the better part of a year and finally bit the bullet. Stunning stereo image on this thing, fantastic room sound. #FreeJazz #Vinyl #Hifi #ArchieShepl

Haven’t had my McLaren 602 pre in the living room system before… now that I have the universal de-rumbler box in front of the amp I’m free to experiment. This thing is a real sleeper, just a fantastic phono stage.

Decided to rack-mount my PSE Studio One preamp in the front room rig to match the DB systems pre. Very happy with both of these preamps, specifically the excellent phono stages and shelving tone controls. #hifi #vinyl

That last one got me in the mood for bass… Johnny Dyani is just incredible on this thing. Deep, hypnotic grooves and amazing vocals. #hifi #vinyl #jazz

Giving the low end a workout this evening… great set of tunes from Christian and Edgar here. And I sniffed out a little noise issue in one of my phono channels, so things are sounding particularly good this evening #hifi #bass #vinyl

My collection is a bit lacking in Miles—hard to find copies clean enough to bother with around here—but I snagged this, which I previously hadn’t listens to before, and it’s firmly cemented me as a Second Great Quintet girlie #jazz #hifi #vinyl

Another great find this week… not recorded to the same level as Water Lily Acoustics or Connoisseur Society, but an enchanting set from the best of the best. #vinyl #hifi #khansahib
