You saw the upcoming Nola show, huh?

Yeah, I saw that. I remember them from back in the day, but I never really got into 'em. Picked up Surfer Rosa the other day, I'm digging it.

So this just arrived...
Blind Melon "Soup", 2016 reissue
Top 3 album All Time for me! So pumped to finally have this on vinyl, as the OP's are insanely high. This record was recorded entirely in New Orleans, and its dark and just hauntingly beautiful. Eight weeks after it was released, we lost Shannon, in the same city Soup was recorded in, New Orleans...

Where did you find that? It's one of my all time favorites as well. Would love to add it to my collection.

Everywhere should have it now, it was released today. I had pre-ordered from Amazon.

Round 2...
I had never heard this on vinyl before, it almost sounds like a different album at times. At the beginning of "Mouthful of Cavaties" you can actually hear the cats making noise. Had never noticed that before...

Did you ever see the documentary about the making of the album? I haven't seen it in ages, but it is great. The entire album was recorded in an old house if I remember correctly

No, but I'd love to. I'll have to look it up.

and there is. Ohm’s. Ever wondered why phono cartridge loading is so important? We want to make sure a moving magnet is properly loaded at 47KO, the moving coil perhaps 100O. Get those input impedances wrong and the system won’t sound right. A phono cartridge is little more than a coil of wire. This coil of wire is where the electrical signal is generated. A magnet attached to the end of the cantilever is surrounded by this coil in a moving magnet. This coil is attached to the end of the cantilever and surrounded by a magnet in a moving coil. In either case, (the magnet moving closer to the coil or further away) a voltage is generated in response to the movement of the needle in the record groove. Apply this tiny signal voltage to the input of a preamplifier equipped with the proper equalization, and voila! we get music. Seems simple enough. But there’s a catch. When we use magnetics (coils of wire) to either transfer or generate energy, we run into a hitch in the get along. These devices are not flat in the frequency domain. At their frequency extremes, they work differently than in the middle of their range. At the lowest frequencies, they don’t work at all. At the higher frequencies, they lose steam and begin rolling off—but not before they get louder—sort of a last gasp before their swan song. This louder signal at higher frequencies is called a resonance, a peaking. It is to this peaking we apply our buddy, Mr. Ohm. In a moving magnet cartridge, we want to terminate with a 47KO resistor and a small capacitor. This damps out the peak and makes for a smooth transition as the cartridge rolls off on the top end. Too high a terminating resistor and we get an unnatural boost at the top end from this peak. Too low a resistance and we lose the top end. The same applies to the moving coil, just on a different scale.

Hey Marco.... absolute sound a good mag to get? They sent me something in the mail for $14 for the first year.
Also, still waiting on my man roger to get back with me. Prolly shoot him an email on Monday.

I get Absolute Sound and Stereophile--those are the Big 2.

I need to call Roger tomorrow--I got a few gift certificates from Santa...

I don't want to beat him up too much about it cause I know he is trying to help me out. Emailed him around the 10th I think, he told me to give him another 2 weeks which would put us just past 2 weeks now. Hopefully I hear something from him this coming week, I know he said the cables would be a special order due to the spades. Maybe that's what's taking a bit.

My music board brothers...
If you love discovering new stuff, check out Thank You Scientist. Caught 'em in NOLA last night, good live show with the horns and all, and very cool cats. I've only heard their latest LP, which I own and enjoy more every time I listen to it. Prob spin it again later. Cheers
