I have been chasing some of the more 'out of the mainstream' stuff I had on vinyl. Trying to locate it on CD. This is the most recent nugget of gold I came across. After 2+ hours of internet searching. Was a big David Peel fan back in the day. John Lennon was active with them for a while.
Still hunting for their "American Revolution" album. |

Officially, none of three original DP albums made it onto the CD format. I have 2 of them on CD so far. These were high end back room efforts with very low output. So they are available. Just hard to find, and when you do find one you buy it immediately. |

Nope. Vinyl is a PITA. A good digital setup plays at least as well as a good analog setup. But quality digital playback is more sensitive to 'cheap' components. With digital, the weak link theory shows up loud and clear. Tubes are also a complete PITA. Been there.....done that. Used one of these for years. Still have some tubes left to sell. This was my old headphone setup. I use a Ray Samuels 'Dark Star' now. Kicks ass. A quality solid state amp is every bit the equal of a tube amp. Minus the fire hazard. |

It's a ritual. Digital is fine for background, when you don't want to get up to change every 30 min or so, car, etc. For lights down/off listening where music is the only focus, it's still hugely clear .... vinyl. "A good digital setup plays at least as well as a good analog setup" Not even close. True, digital has improved, but so has analog. I have both. Very easy for me to A / B back and forth between the best recording on both. Then it becomes very 'clear'. Even neophytes can hear it with some familiarity to my system. Electrostats require a little familiarity. Longer one listens the more obvious it becomes. "A quality solid state amp is every bit the equal of a tube amp" Not close enough. True, solid state has improved, but tube has improved faster. Have had very little trouble with tube over 50+ years of this. Not 'none' mind you, but so little that I'll continue for however long I'm here. My big system is solid state. From the beginning that was going to be temporary. However, with a tube phone stage. Only my office system is tube preamp and amp. In fact, this is my next change .... to a VAC 160i "Still have some tubes left to sell" What do you have to sell?

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
