I've always wanted a BIG cd collection. So far I'm up to 55pcs... It's a start!

 

EDIT: So today/tonight's new stuff is

Or coming from a good CD, a CD7000 and a BM7000 with some S75's.

Actual example - although pretty old (1994) but uncompressed...

Boy don't dare to compare that with those 256kbit streams I'm listening most to through the day...

Double posting here as well as the beta while partying like it's 1999.

You have 1999 on vinyl! Can you add any insight to this old thread?

I think what you describe for "Little Red Corvette" is there on the vinyl as well.  I would speculate that Prince was recording at home to cassette and saturised the tape, a la Keith Richards' acoustic guitar parts in "Street Fighting Man," "Jumping Jack Flash," etc.  Whether Prince intended to do that, as

Thanks for checking Rich, I'll just settle with the CD then 🙂

(and keep kicking myself that I didn't bother getting me a ticket when he was in Helsinki last summer for the first time ever - after cancelling numerous times over and over ever since the '80s)

Listening to some basic 80's Europop "Pet Shop Boys" on a Beogram 3000 I fixed  Sunday. I still think that my BG3000, BM3000 and CDX setup is my most attractive.

The Mysterious Flying Orchestra, a late 70's RCA jazz album, each track a different artist. Really good jazz tracks, and I'm listening to it on my just reinstalled and dialed in system, Beogram 3300, MMC2, phono preamps.com phono stage, Beosound 9000, and Beolab 8000's. Wonderful.

Just before this, Oxygene, by Jean Michel Jarre, ripped from CD on my music PC.

A nite for 70's nostalgia apparently.
