For those of us with multiple headphones, which ones are you listening with now?

[Blue Note: December, 1963.] Recorded in Paris during Dex’ self-imposed exile (prior to his several-year domicile in Copenhagen), this album swings! All four are in top form. Whew!

Stand Up (1969) (Steven Wilson remix) by Jethro Tull - I first heard this in 69, when a classmate of mine leant it to me for a couple of days. I loved the cover with it's cardboard pop up of the band in the centre but also loved the music. Sadly funds were short when I was 12 and it would be a couple of years before I got my first Tull album (Aqualung) and have been a fan ever since. This is the first Tull album featuring Martin Barre, who I think was an enormous part of their sound and was saddened when he was basically "let go" in 2012. This was also the first time that Ian Anderson had full control of the song writing and the direction the band would take and the difference between this and their debut (This Was) is huge. Grado RS-1x all the way with this album, great detail, great timbre.... just a great sound.

a) 100% on the Martin Barre observation ;
b) when I was 12, decades ago, funds were non-existent; ‘rabble’ duties in boarding school were ‘involuntarily gratis’…

Bought this album years ago, liked the name and cover so I figured it must be good . Correct , still one of the coolest jazz fusion groups ever IMO.

Love/Hate with this album. Loved the sound, bought it after Joe Walsh broke his hand and was replaced as the undercard by Weather Report with John Mayall at the Orpheum. Sat about 20’ from the left bank of speakers, and 3 Who, 2 Zep, 3 Floyd, and many other concerts and none caused more hearing damage than WR did that night in 1974. Zawinul and Shorter were mixed way over the others.

My new chain: TIDAL->Cambridge->iOS->MXN10->Gumby->Rag 1->HE-6 SE

On this album.

Tonight is an unusual set up. I have been trying to come up with a portable full size estat.

Music is Robbie Robertsons first solo release > Xduoo X10 > Stax SRM-212 > Stax L300
All on a power brick battery!

this is hardest bass hitting song that I know of (I'm open to suggestions)

You must have some tough eardrums. All it took for me was one Marshall Tucker concert in '75 and my ears are still ringing!

Saw WR a couple of times in the 80s but they must have turned everything down a few notches.

Into The Great Wide Open (1991) by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - This album is just a joy to listen to through the RS-1x, everything just sounds so "right". I started out tonight listening to The Travelling Willburys but Tom Petty's voice was like a magnet that drew me in and I eventually gave up and started playing Greatest Hits, which is a crazy good album but then thought I'd like to hear some of their lesser known songs. . . . and here we are
ps. Mike Campbell is a genius.
