What are you spinning right now?

Music
1921

I listened to Dylan’s “John Wesley Harding” on the Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab stereo SACD, and now I’m listening to the same title in the Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab mono SACD. Both are excellent masterings of an album that I find fascinating. Though each SACD is mastered by a different engineer the tonality is very similar. The mono is punchy and fat sound, the stereo a bit mellower and a bit more mysterious seeming.

Dylan’s music throughout his career fascinates me more and more as I age.

1922

1923

A very “Mahavishnu”-like album in parts. Featuring the awesome bassist Doug Rauch who left us way too soon (overdose at 28).

1925

Spinning an LP for the first time in ages. Forgot how good my turntable and phono pre sound!!

1926

Yes, it’s been about seven years since I’ve been spinning LPs again. With the killer phono preamplifier I have LPs have never sounded better, and rival the sound from the DS which is really saying something!

Right now the SHM-CD:

1927

1937

What a glorious set. Playing disc 2. Support Mosaic any way you can!

1938

I agree. I have all the sets that are now in print, and many that are out of print, probably more than 80 percent of their total output. I may buy a few sets for family members for Xmas a bit later this year.

Right now

1939

1940

Spinning the LP: I’m a Soul Man. Still think The Blues Brothers covered it with the respect the great Sam and Dave deserved.
