MD's cover choices are great. Fast forward 48 years and those among us with kids would have the equivalent of 2 absolutely silly, ex Disney/rap star tattooed and pierced showing off their "grill"

This issue cover is the best of the last 5 or so I've been receiving. I would like to see a cover with both Jimmy/Jimi and quite a few others.

"Spent the first.." I know what you mean Powerful pic. Probably not meant to be, but just a mesmerizing photo.

What was disappointing is MD not listing Nordost Odin II, Only the cheap Valhalla is listed!
I can't stomach past my nearly Heimdall II rig.

"What a great shot of Grace and Janis. "

+1; from a photographic standpoint, this is just an exceptional photo. to say nothing of documenting a bit of music history from the era.
Agree - it's definitely a keeper

No, But I Did Receive Metallica's Kill 'Em All on SHM-CD, posted on November 24, 2015 at 18:41:38
Luminator Audiophile Posts: 7339 Location: Bay Area Joined: December 11, 2000	So far, I have SHM-CDs of this, Ride The Lightning, ...And Justice For All, Metallica, and Load. They are cleaner-sounding than their cassette, standard CD, vinyl, and gold CD counterparts. The SHM-CD of Kill 'Em All does not have "Am I Evil?" and "Blitzkrieg." If you want those two songs on SHM-CD, you will have to get Garage Inc. The Audiophiles' DJ, _Lummy The Loch Monster

dirtyvinyl	very cool and better yet as a project worthy of displaying in the listening room. I've done the same thing with album covers. Amazing what a nice color matting job does.

dirtyvinyl	Wow! Can't say I'm a Metallica listener, but it looks.......LOUD. I've never been to anyone's house and the volume is low.

Maybe my MD catalog will arrive in tomorrow's mail. I wish they had the Hi-Fi Tuning Silver Star fuse in the right rating for the Simaudio 750D, which I have been reviewing. The 750D's transport gently rolls of the treble. Therefore, maybe it could use the HFT Silver Star's supposed treble presence.

I'm also expecting some more SHM-CD and BSCD2 titles to arrive. I refer to these as "boutique" CDs. The great thing about these is that they are available for popular music titles. That is, music people actually want and enjoy. If you go over to Rocky Road, you'll find some of my capsule reviews showing these boutique CDs.

In general, the SHM-CD and BSCD2 formats have lower distortion and grain. The cleaner sound allows you to hear more deeply into the recording, regardless of the volume level you are comfortable with.

dirtyvinyl	After adding up a tubed Bat setup in silver-linestage,phono and blocs, the BLACK AMEX is just starting to get warm! This is all of the SE models ,naturally. Still need maybe some Nodost Odin cables and speakers. We haven't even thought about sources yet!
