Grrrrr: The Black Metal ~ Death Metal Thread*

Yes there are other threads like "Do you hate black metal?" or "I Can't Get Into Death Metal", which invariably receive postings from enthusiasts, but I thought a straight appreciation thread is in order. So, lovers of Black, Death, Doom and all variants of metal therein, what are you listening to?

There's so much fuss over The Rutles right now I figured I would give America's favorite sweethearts some time in the spotlight...

If they were to release all sessions documented for 1969 (per Bellagio) we would have:

January
9 - session: Forever/San Miguel
13 - session: San Miguel (remake) [Sunset]
22 - session: San Miguel [Valentine - 2 sessions]
24 - session: San Miguel [Sunset]
27 - session: San Miguel [Sunset]
29 - session: San Miguel [Capitol]

February
13 - session:...

We keep hearing about defects but actually I am getting some fine quality pressings to balance out the bad ones I receive. Recent near perfect with hardly a click include -

Madonna, Madame X.
Rolling Stones Rock And Roll Circus.
Santana, Africa Speaks.
Bruce Springsteen, Western Stars.

All from the same plants that produce so many bad pressings and none of them specified as 'Audiophile'.

I was curious as to what degrees other forum members tweak/obsess/nitpick over their system?

This is not an all encompassing list but I consider a tweak (right or wrong) to be calibrating your TT, moving components or seating around, room treatments, power conditioning or outlets, vibration control, racks, etc.

I don’t think a tweak is new speakers, amps, cartridge, source, or any other large box purchase. Those are larger than tweaks and there are other threads to share those purchases...

By solo I mean apart from the Grateful Dead. What do you like the best in his solo career-period, ensemble, music type, issued recording or whatever you would like to add to the discussion. All good things.

Upon reading a post from another fellow on a Floyd-related thread, I inspected my Blu-ray discs in TEY Box and found all of the discs are bubbling at the edge on the data side. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? My discs all say Optimal Media on the data side by the matrix numbers. So far they still play....

What records are the rarest/most valuable in your collection?
Mine would be my Clash give em enough rope with a cheap trick label on the b side (Idk how much it is worth but I can't find it anywhere online), my limited edition copy of parachutes by Frank Iero (only 2000 made), my signed soup dragons 12 inch single, or my really mint condition original copy of Jeopardy by the sound.

Okay, I AM SO XXXX AND FRUSTRATED!!! I cannot tell y'all the frustration of finding records, researching and not finding a "real answer" of better presses. I know we all have different opinions. But look at velvet underground nico, the original mono copy is considered the XXXX, thats why I sold my baby for it and happily own it. Another example, The piper at the gate of dawn mono copy, considered the best? bought it and am happy to start off with a good collection NOW!!! Here are these other...

Buying new gear only, what's the least you can spend to get an *audiophile* system?

Of course, "audiophile" means different things to different people. For my definition, I'm using my own standard - pleasing reproduction of music that doesn't leave the listener fatigued after an hour with vocals and mid-ranges that sound something like an actual voice or sax. Deep bass in not a requirement for me. I'm really a mid-range aficionado.

Here's what I might consider a minimum system based on gear I actually own:

Marantz PM6000 series integrated amp (6004, 6005, 6006)

I've been running an Outlaw 970 A/V processor with a NAD 5 - channel amp for many years now with great success in my home 5.1 system. I need to upgrade the processor to something that can handle HDMI and streaming devices to help cut my cable bill costs. I have been considering what Outlaw offers (975 and 976 sound processors : Products ) but wonder if there are other options I should be looking into at this time? Any advice would...

I thought I'd start a new thread and see if there is any interest in continuing it among other classical music listeners here.

There's the Classical Music Corner, but you really can't have a conversation there, you can only talk about classical music. If you talk audio, or about instruments, or about the bad day you had, or how happy you are to be listening and relaxing, or anything else. . . someone complains, posts are deleted, fingers are wagged.

I'd like to have a thread where you an...

Do you think they are important in rock history ? Overrated? Awesome? Too commercial?
