Crazy-Expensive Stereo Experiment (Continued)

March 7, 2008 5:11 PM

Okay, so with having Diddy over for lunch (and having, you know, work to do), I haven't had as much time to spend with our new crazily, insanely, no-way-it-can't-cost-that-much expensive stereo as I wanted. All your suggestions were solid, so keep 'em coming. I'm definitely bringing in a bunch of Steely Dan next week. I've listened to a couple of recently remastered Talking Heads discs (Fear of Music and Remain in Light) and the brand new reissue of Beck's Odelay. My mind is pretty much unblown so far, although occasionally a detail will leap out in way I've never heard before. But it's also clear that different albums bring out wildly different things in this system. Stay tuned for more...

Jimi Hendrix has a blister on his third finger during the solo he recorded for "The Wind Cries Mary".
ask Ripley.

you need to hook up your record player to those bad boys and let loose some of your favorite lp's. doesnt matter which ones. hope you didnt get rid of them like a lot of people obsessed (in vain i might add) with re-mastered cd's. at least get some SUCD's or dvd audio to play with.

The albums don't bring out different things in the equipment; the equipment shows how inconsistent and generally crappy the albums are.

Try rockin' out to Frances The Mute on that stereo!

Aren't the remastered cds known to have worse sound quality. Pretty sure there was an article in Rolling Stone on this a month or two ago.

Okay Jonathan, the only purpose for a stereo like that - and the relentless remastering of already remastered cds - is so you can finally hear the squeaking drum pedal located deep in the mix of Led Zepplin's 'Black Dog.' Or, subtle seemingly subliminal muttering before the first beat on David Bowie's 'Joe the Lion.'

I've seen lists like these of the internet... can't locate them now. Perhaps some readers have suggestions?
