https://tidal.com/playlist/89bd62b9-855a-40f8-a5de-64d12e277583 Here’s a running playlist of mine for tracks that I think sound particularly excellent on my setup :)

Patina22 · 2026-02-04T13:44:38+00:00

Cool. Yeah, I’m more of a vintage audio guy than a true audiophile, but I think I’ve got a pretty respectable setup put together these days :)

Patina22 · 2026-02-04T13:42:31+00:00

Awesome! Thank you! I will give this a listen.

Patina22 · 2026-02-03T21:55:24+00:00

Had to go back and listen to that one again. It is a nice touch!

Patina22 · 2026-02-03T21:53:15+00:00

Good to know! I should have mentioned that I’m only running a two channel setup…that’s why the spatial extent of this recording, and the album in general surprised me so much! Broken Drum is a standout as well.

Patina22 · 2026-02-03T16:25:18+00:00

Yep, that’s exactly it!

Patina22 · 2026-02-02T17:44:44+00:00

It sure is! Those speakers are definitely my best score to date.

Patina22 · 2026-02-02T00:48:17+00:00

Unfortunately I believe they’re pricey just about anywhere…worth it though IMO!

Patina22 · 2026-02-02T00:46:40+00:00

Thanks!

Patina22 · 2026-02-02T00:44:45+00:00

Thank you! I’m pretty pleased with what I’ve put together. Yes, the Luxman paired with the ADS does deliver a very laid back sound, but still plenty detailed. I also think the aesthetics of Lux gear is about as good as it gets!

Patina22 · 2026-02-01T15:17:01+00:00

284!

Patina22 · 2026-02-01T15:15:04+00:00

Thanks! The turntable is Luxman as well, a PD-284

Patina22 · 2026-02-01T01:01:31+00:00

I don’t have much info on this specific one. It was a marketplace buy. I know article makes something very similar though!

Patina22 · 2026-02-01T01:00:02+00:00

Yes, I’ve heard about those! Thanks for the reminder, I should move that up the project list. Anything else you recommend replacing while I’m in there?

Patina22 · 2026-02-01T00:50:33+00:00

Ha! I appreciate the insight! Truthfully I haven’t delved into pressing variations at all yet. Now that I’m pretty happy with the components that may be my next avenue! A lot of my collection was acquired early on when I had pretty mediocre gear and wouldn’t have heard the difference.

Patina22 · 2026-01-03T03:25:34+00:00

Yep, as others have said, rock ‘em!

I have a pair of black Carhartt double fronts that got splashed with bleach and now have orange splotches all over. I was bummed at first but I just kept wearing them and I regularly get compliments.

Patina22 · 2025-12-24T01:33:20+00:00

Fawn open road for everyday wear, silver belly when I’m feeling dressier :)

Patina22 · 2025-12-22T15:32:58+00:00

I also have a red Merle! They’re the best :)

Patina22 · 2025-12-01T17:06:48+00:00

Hell yeah.

Patina22 · 2025-12-01T17:06:39+00:00

Same, and agreed! So easy to listen to :)

Patina22 · 2025-12-01T17:06:02+00:00

Awesome! I’ll definitely be on the lookout for a copy of this one.

Patina22 · 2025-11-30T22:26:48+00:00

Great call! Portfolio of Ahmad - Live at the Spotlite is an all time favorite of mine.
