What are you spinning right now?

#188 of this new Mosaic Records set arrived today.

FAT booklet. Yay! And odd packaging: a single disc, and two fat boys one with three discs and one with four discs. But I think that was because of the number of tracks to list on the back covers.

I have long believed that if Mozart or Verdi were alive today they would be composing film scores.

Released 24 years ago next month. Hard to believe.

Wow, this is a really nice cd. . . and man I don’t know if I’ve ever heard a more nimble harmonica player. I bought it because of Nilson Matta and especially because Maucha Adnet sings on two tracks.

I'm on disc three of this set and really enjoying it. The sound is a bit partly all over the map, but the Commodore sides have never sounded better to me, and they are among my favorite Young sides.

Also. . .I’m discovering that “High Regulation” is definitely the way to go with my system on the P10 rather than “Low Distortion.” More three dimensional.

Not if you are like me and never heard of them until now. :)

Is “High Regulation” a setting on the P10? Not sure what High Regulation vs. Low Distortion means…

[stevem2]

It’s in the P10 setup menu. From the manual:

Mode: Here the toggle exists between two different general settings. Low distortion and high regulation. If the Power Plant 10 is being used in an area with relatively consistent, relatively accurate input AC, then it is recommended that the Low Distortion selection be made. This will focus the Power Plant 10’s efforts on decreasing output THD as much as possible. If the P10 is being used in an area with erratic input voltage, or input voltage that is consistently higher or lower than the level 120V or 240V (depending on region), it is suggested that the High Regulation selection is made. This will focus the Power Plant 10’s efforts more closely on regulating the output voltage to a nominal output, and on this setting you may notice the output THD climb slightly higher.

Thanks Steve, I was away from the computer most of the day. Yes. And I think the manual says that tube components may sound better in High Regulation mode; in my system that’s the case.

I found it, here’s the quote from the manual:

As general guidelines, tube equipment and electrostatic speakers will benefit from the High Regulation setting, whereas solid state amplifiers and video equipment will benefit from the Low Distortion setting. In the incoming AC is within 5V of the base-line output, either mode will offer great performance. Outside of five volts, the user can maintain voltage regulation at the slight expense of THD control with High Regulation, or can maintain THD control at the slight expense of voltage regulation using Low Distortion.

The excellent expanded reissue on El! (Cherry Records). Wow . . .what an innovator he was. . . I keep being bowled over by him decade after decade.

Spinning vinyl today and and getting my politics on

Great choice. Fascinating, creative, talented group.

[lonson]

I guess so, but though I’ve tried three of their works I haven’t kept them, just not my cup of tea. They’re talented, but I haven’t really enjoyed the listening.

Right now
