Nice. I have Rubber Soul on CD, never heard it on vinyl!
You get some new RCAs too? Looks like Monster cables.mlistens03 wrote: »Bought this, Abbey Road, and LED Zeppelin IV during vacation, I’ve listened to the two others already, and this is easily just as good as Abbey Road. Bought all for around $20 on 180g vinyl, and I believe they are older, although not originals. All were still in the original shrink wrap. Play like new, because even though they are old vintage, they are brand spankin’ new.

Yes they are Monster cables. I’ve had them for a while, although the generic ones I have sound only slightly worse.
I’m using them with my CDP right now. They are a little bloated in the low end compared to generic ones, but otherwise they sound a little better. More clarity to the highs and mids, better soundstage, etc.
Vinyl is most definitely the best thing that has ever happened to my system. Even with a scratched-to-heck 40g record, Sgt. Peppers still sounds better on vinyl than CD, although I still listen to the CD because the record skips occasionally. Thanks to all for your help with my vinyl inquiries. I would look for Rubber Soul on vinyl, because it sounds genuinely amazing. Blows the iTunes mp3 out of the water, and although I have never heard it on CD, I imagine it would be the same result. -

^ Interesting to see a fairly recent photo of her. I saw her in the 90's in a small coffee shop. Really like her style. Just ordered her Mississippi Fred McDowell tribute album, recall her playing some Fred McDowell when I saw her. Thanks for posting.

I've been hooked on this CD for the past couple of days ever since I dug it out of the basement. The extended versions of his hits are great! Good tunes to do home improvement by!

On a similar note listened to these earlier:
This is hands down the best version of Workingman's Dead (MFSL SACD). Don't question it. Just buy it.
This is the orginal, made in Japan (made for the USA) version of this CD. It's the best version of this album available, IMO.

My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

I have the fist pressing made in Japan version of this CD. It's a great album. Glad you like it too.

Don't forget Eyes Without AFace. Best Idol song, period.
