Ahhhh this is 3 LPs pressing....Sounds superb..

grrrrrrrrrrr how much u bought it....in this case will let go mine and buy like urs

Hmmmmm...now u ask price....it made me feel bad....because big burnt in my pocket for thos one...RM255

paid Rm200 (used) for it those days.... 255 for 3 Lp's version with superb sound i think is a good buy

p/s - Folk singer lp really good huh enjoy every 2nd of it...

I'm rediscovering Shakti with John McLaughlin, which features L.Shankar on violin, R.Raghavan on Mridangam, T.S.Vinayakaram on Ghatam and Mridangam and Zakir Hussain on Tabla....1976, CBS Records 81388...

Intense man... great for a system work out to check on dynamics, coherence and control.

Summer Romance '87 - Leslie Cheung

1 album 4 versions. Took me 4 hours to digest.

For the evening, listening to a load of 45rpm records in a refurbished 1963 AMI ROWE jukebox.
Yes, I have to slot in 20sen coins and press some buttons. I had to tinker and finetune this jukebox including replacing the MM cartridge.
I didn't know there existed "made for jukebox" 45rpm 7" discs of local artists from Ella to Saleem to Alleycats to M Daud Kilau. Entirely nostalgic.

Very, very nostalgic indeed! I miss those jukebox...

Cmboy...i know 1 guy in ipoh wanna sell his jukebox 45rpm discs for jukebox, and this version also can play with normal turntable...let me know if u interested 100 pcs for Rm800 mostly malay song and few english,thai and hindi songs

Wow! Jukebox at home! Drooling...

The jukebox song i missed the most would be "Sejati" by Wings.

Somehow it doesn't sound the same on CD.

Thanks but the lot is too pricy for my blood. Acquired another stack yesterday for Rm1.50 each.

Ok, lets not confuse the jukebox with this thread. Topic is about what are you listening right now, and I was listening to a jukebox, quite straightforward really, something entirely different from the mainstream, moreover something quite nostalgic.
BTW, the Malay 45 singles DON'T SOUND GOOD! Sounds like it was some cassette rip. Cheaply pressed I suppose for the purpose.
Now spinning a Freddie Aguilar (Polydor) LP. Bulag At Bingi.

Agreed with u but i cannot argue also for NOS singles,this is more on collective item and not for sound quality..now days all vintage item going sky hi

Coldplay's "Achtung Baby" album? Not quite but not that bad either except the ridiculous Rihanna collaboration - Princess Of China



The Boxer Rebellion - Exits. The Boxer Rebellion's debut. Angrier and much rockier than their latest

Any more info on Boxer Rebellion?

angry and rock go well together....

Are they anything like the Rollins Band??

The Boxer Rebellion can sound like a cross between Radiohead and U2 but mostly have their own signature sound. I would rate the first album as the noisiest followed by the second and then the third. Angry has also made way for melancholy..

Had a blissful long weekend listening to the following pn LPs:

1. Footloose OST

2. Culture Club

3. U2 - Rattle and Hum

4. Roy Patterson

5. Duffy

6. REM

Elhefe,

the synergy between my Sennheiser HD650 adn your Musical Fidelity V3 is so good tha i have recently started to listen to classical... some how could not capture the emotion of an orchestra on my main rig before. So this weekend listened to..

-Reference Recordings 30th anniversary sampler.

Beautifulllllll!!



Bal.

If there's anything I'd like to own in the near future is getting a pair of good headphones to use once a while. Long ago I had a pair of Pioneer SE-100 till it broke. Missed that so much. Have a H/P amp collecting dust. Time to revive that thingy in good time.

Going to spin my Rega P3 this evening with some Decca label classics.

Bal,

This is what I was talking about in my review thread of M1 HPA - a personal musical 'space' when listening through headphones. It is definitely a different experience altogether compare to main rig.

Good to hear your Senns are blending well with the V3.

This piece of vocal will warm you up during these cold & raining nights - especially on track number 4 (Dance with my father). Excellent recording with warm and touching lyrics. Highly recommended.

Mumford and Sons - Sigh No More. Along with Noah and the Whale and Laura Marling, MAS are one of the proponents of the nu-folk/rock movement and this album their debut is a pretty decent piece of work.



A-Ha - Scoundrel Days. A 25 year old classic which I have not listened to for quite a while (many many years) till recently. Sounded pretty bright and harsh on my old system but wonderfully balanced on my latest.

SADE - Diamond Life (vinyl)

Was here

Now listening to:





Cool Awesome...

Wah ZB, you attended a live concert by the MPO. Good for you. Very different perspective eh, live music

Its a mix genre for all guitar lover.....

Yesterday late nite supper.....

fizi,
quite a (Broery)collection you have there!
As far as Broery is concerned, I only have his CDs and Hapuslah Airmatamu on vinyl.. ada lagi kah yg tak tunjuk.. hehe

heheheheh....hapuslah air matamu pun ada dan ada 2 lagi album tapi x berapa best ler ..

p/s - Broery LP yg cover merah tu walaupun bukan ori tapi kualiti bunyi bagus

My hunch was correct, hat one is not 'ori'.
I do have several not ori singles but heck they sound alright to me!
The other three tu familiar albums but I did not collect them.. You have 'big' collection of malay albums?

If u like broery u should buy the red cover LP...most of the song inside the album is good...The ori version of this album is very rare to fine...1 of my uncle have the ori version of this album (have extra 2 songs)...ori LP cover for this album also not in the internet to share with others....what i can remember from the cover - broery playing piano looks young and without mustache ....

Im not 'GILA' with malay LP ....... just collect my favorite artist like Jamal Abdillah (recording company should produce audiophile copy ) Sudirman and our legenda P Ramlee and Saloma

Noah and the Whale - Last Night On Earth. Synthesizer big beats on a NATW album or their Achtung Baby album? Not quite but still enjoyable in spades. Pretty short @ 33 minutes for an album

Noted! Will give a lookout for that one, thanks!
Am great fan of Sharifah Aini, Uji Rashid and Sudirman to name but a few so I do have some 'collections'.. hehe

CT boy - Malay LP is not cheap now days now we have to fight between antique collector and music lover

Helped myself to a couple jazz Cds since Naim Label was on sale a bit back

Paul Wertico Trio - Another Side



Neil Stacey - Leave it to Last. Groove, fusion type of jazz



Stew Cutler - Insignia. A bit of blues thrown in for good measure



Union - Union



Nicholas Meier - Silence Talks. Completes my Nicholas Meier Naim CD collection

The Boxer Rebellion - Union. Magnificent. Even better than their latest



Lisa Hannigan - Passenger. Like her one time collaborator Damien Rice, the sophomore follow up to the incomparable "Sea Sew" is not nearly as good but still a pretty decent album overall.



Birdy - Birdy. Ms Jasmine Van den Bogaerde aka "Birdy" is a young lady that can sing like a real experienced pro despite all the compositions except one being written by men more twice her age and definitely doesn't sound like a 16 year old. Haunting!

Ushering the new year morning with:

Early morning start with:

Energized by:

Captain Geech & the Shrimp Shack Shooters

My choice in Vinyl.....



First run on my TT and it's "EAGLES" at their best to my ears.

cheers

Nice... By the Oneders...

Adele - Live at the Royal Albert Hall

Two Paul Simon classics.

Graceland incorporating South African traditional music.



Rhythm of the Saints incorporating traditional South American - Brazillian music

One of the gems I got from Singapore trip...Gipsy Kings ...este mundo?..

Kirk Hammet, Steve Vai, Yngwie....might be good metal guitarist...but for pure acoustic melody...Gipsy Kings is the best. I was lucky to be able to see them live...in one of their free street shows in Barcelona...waaayyy back in 1999.... Nice....




And also Joe Strummer and his band....The Clash with their 3rd studio album...London Calling

My first Feist album - Metals. My only previous experience with her was in the Kings of Convenience album. Quite a bit of strings for this one as she tries to mix it up.

Hi guys,
Yesterday nite all this girls bring me to the past 18 years
Its bring back some nostalgia and memories.All this cd's play through my 1st set up sony pre/power combo.During the session its remind me to "Suhana" that always sweet with her pinafore and always belanja me chicken pie and coke at "Grandy's" that time im only 16 y old.After tea time "Pakcik Syed" will bring us around with "Suhana" father "Jaguar" to "Taman DR Seenivasagam" How sporting is "Pakcik Syed" and of coz this session is only between us
What a sweet memories but not so sweet ending

Hidup Suhana

Pakcik Syed SYJ ke bro?

Pakcik Syed nasi kandar kot heheheh...

scularism - welcome to hifi4sale

forever - Dah aruah Pak syed SYJ tu ,1st vocalist SYJ (uncle tajudin) masih hidup lagi, vinyl collector tu saya dengan dia selalu cari vinyl kat flea market ipoh setiap hari ahad pagi aka "loking"
elhefe - Bukan ler...Pak Syed ni driver bapak "suhana"

Phantogram - Eyelid Movies. This debut from NY-based Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel sounds like a tad like "The XX" but has enough interesting moments to hold their own. Big bass!

WE WUZ THERE!!! Me and my old ears, the both of them! The oldest by far, in a sea of screaming kids. What fun we had, attempting to jump and shout and scream until the knees and hips gave way.

Man, the KLCC convention centre, all closed up was the venue. It was big enough to engulf the WHOLE street where my terrace house is, even if the houses were all triple story high. When the 1st bass note hit my chest, i was in 7th heaven. And heaven stayed until the last dying notes of 'Pumped up kicks'.

I wanted to ask the management to let everyone out, just for a weeee second, so i could stand alone in the sweet spot just for the tiniest of time, just to, you know, experience the moment or dream of having a sound room this size, with my own personal band playing (oh bal, the heights of self centerdness you go to!!), but i guess they wouldn't fall for that, so didn't. Sigh.
Oh to own a billion bucks and have a room that size, and be able to employ some one to climb up onto that massive stage to change your cd's for you.

Nice to dream. In the meanwhilst, concerts like these make my blood go zooom!

Bal
