Thanks so much for the additional info on your system, Stephen. Six 10 inch subs with an 18 inch one octave lower "super low sub" plus Aura bass shakers in the seats - that's gotta provide for an amazing experience.

To be more specific on the repair of my JBL LE-25 tweeters, I did get them reconed twice. The JBL repair part is called a "diaphragm repair kit" and includes the voice coil attached to the tweeter diaphragm cone and it's surround, so when it was done they called it "re-diaphragming". Your suggestion of a 1.25 - 1.5 fast blow fuse is an excellent one.

Hope you do post some photos of your system in the Desper thread. If you're up for it, I'd also love to learn more about the evolution of your recording/playback matrix, from it's early days through the Spacializer devices, but I'll save that question for a post at a later time in the Desper thread.

One more question for now. I recall you stating that Altec speakers, I think 803B's, were used in Brian's home studio, as they were his favorites. Due to their size, were those in the recording studio proper, with different monitors in your control booth, for example 4310's or 4311's in there?

COMMENT:  Most people simply do not realize how much power-to-move-air is required for clean, quick, and solid bass. The six subs, powered by 900 watts, is about the right match for the JBL 4311's. These are studio monitors and as such are very efficient. I can play them so loud it is uncomfortable, so the bass extension by an octave has to keep up with that. This takes power and surface area. The 18" crosses over at 40 Hz as do the accelerometers. They are just for movies. I like action movies, so when the space ships fly over, or the bombs go off, I want to experience that energy -- and I do.   

Your question concerning the house studio monitors and other monitors used in the making of BB records during my oversight is answered in detail in part two of my book. It will be out this winter, I hope.

So, can I get a double check on Scott Nangle for the SACDs? I remember at least one member here ordered theirs from him successfully, but I just want to confirm this before I order ASL/BBT/SDSN/PS (I'm skipping Party!... for now).

I bought my Surfin' Safari SACD from Scott and it arrived just fine. Service was swift, packaging fine. I still have the Holland LP and SACD on order from him… no date for those from AP yet though.

I've ordered all the AP stuff from Scott and had no problems.  I ordered "All Summer Long" and "Party" last night and he mailed them this morning!  In my experience he's a good guy and reliable. Grin

Received all five new SACDs from Diverse Vinyl in Newport, UK, this week… took about five days to arrive. Slower than Scott but bought on price alone - delivery was gratis. Fastest delivery was from Analogue Sounds for four of the first clutch of five - two working days from the USA! – but customs and delivery made the price hurt.

My pleasure, John!

Ok, lads - time to check under your car seats/couch cushions for spare change, or enlist in medical experiments etc, as the next clutch of mono vinyl is expected to ship on 20 November.

Listing here (just ignore Smiley Smile, that's up next year's sleeve), including Party to compliment the current Party feast before us.

Thanks for the update, Alan. While the forthcoming AP SACDs and LPs have been delayed from their originally stated release dates, from a cash flow standpoint it's actually a bonus ... but that being said I'm really looking forward to the rest of the releases.

Hey Custom - me too, although (and we're talking First World probs here) we're spoiled for choice this christmas to further deplete the readies:
- various Dylan bootleg vol 12 sets
- various Beatles "1" remastered sets
- BB mono vinyl (and the first batch of pesky SACDs)
- Party Uncovered etc
- BW RSD releases
- XTC Blu Ray Audios
- a new album from The Chills
- a whole load of other sh*t I can't be bothered to remember

May the dance begin.

Just received letters that I get money back from natural gas and electricity pre-payments that adds up to the sum required to buy all mono LPs from Surfin' Safari through All Summer Long. Yay!

The vinyl prices will be raised $5 each beginning next year. There's a 15% discount running on the Acoustic Sounds website, but it's only for in-stock titles so I wouldn't be surprised if it expired before the new titles release.

The five newest mono LPs -  ASL, T!, SD(&SN!), BBP!, and PS will be available Tues Nov. 24.

Unfortunately, that's 2 days after the Acoustic Sounds 15% off sale ends.

The stereo LP versions are now stated to be coming in December.

The good news is that means all 8 LPs will be available before the US $5 price increase on in January, for a total savings of $40.

The bad news is that you have to spend $240 to save the 40 bucks.

Has anyone else purchased the new Analogue Productions "Beach Boys Party!" mono LP? I was expecting the sheet of 15 full color fan photos, but none was included.

I just sent them the following email:

The Analogue Productions Mono LP I received of "Beach Boys Party!" does not contain the perforated card stock sheet of "15 Full Color Fan Photos Free Inside" as stated on the front cover. Please send me that sheet.

If for some reason all your reproduction Beach Boys Party LPs were inadvertently manufactured without this sheet, please rectify this oversight and sent me the missing sheet of 15 Full Color Fan Photos.

(Note: These fan photos were included all Capitol pressings of this LP album, except for the early 1980's budget re-release. In the case of the budget re-release, the cover statement that 15 free fan photos were included was removed and replaced with a picture. I am certain that Analogue Productions would want to include this card stock sheet in their high quality LP reproduction. This card stock sheet which was perforated on the original pressings, but the perforations were replaced by small black dots when the LP was reissued by Capitol in 1994.)

Thanks for the tip, it did save me at least a bit of money. But they charged US$49 for shipping and handling! I think they screwed me with that. At least the 5 first mono vinyl albums arrived quite quickly, in less than a week. I had preferred to pay only like 10 bucks and have the stuff arrive in the new year...

Just received the Winter 2015 ESQ today. Lee Dempsey has some very informative comments in his review of the second wave of Analogue Productions SACDs, where he compares them to previous issues.

One thing Lee didn't do, and I wish he would have, was to compare the SACD layer of these new reissues to the CD layer. In my personal experience I've found that just about any the difference I've felt I heard between the SACD layer and the CD layer on the same disc disappeared when the layers were played back without me knowing which one I was listening to and I was required to consistently correctly identify which layer was which.

And, as Lee mentions, why does Today have such a recessed sonic signature, almost like it was recorded in a tub? The original Duophonic mix is far too reverberant, but the original mono mix sounds very similar in that respect as well, almost like they folded the Duophonic down to mono. Fortunately the modern stereo remixes, especially of Please Let Me Wonder and Kiss Me Baby, are a huge improvement over the original 1965 mono mix and it's Duophonic counterpart.

Lee mentions he prefers the 2012 stereo release of Today over the stereo on new Kevin Gray SACD, a comparison I'll have to make this weekend.

Which mixes are the stereo LPs of Today! and SD/SN? The original Duophonic ones or the recent digital stereo mixes?

I'd love to have the mono All Summer Long LP too, but they say it's $25 shipping to Germany... does anybody know a way to get it for less than $55?

Sold! I mean, I ordered it from there right away. It's only $40.12 given the current exchange rate instead of $55.96 including credit card fees. Remind me to buy you a beer when I get to Berlin next time. Danke! Smiley

I was wondering, does the Pet Sounds mono SACD and mono LP sound the same/similar? I have the SACD, but still prefer the CATP/PS Artisan pressing.
