“Now Playing”

So I was diddling around, reading The Absolute Sound’s review of the Hifiman Shangri-La Jr electrostatic headphone and amp. The reviewer mentioned Stardust on this album, so I had to check it out. The very best of 1957. Nat King Cole’s first stereophonic album. Just beautiful production. And you won’t hear a better voice on “The Voice”.

ROON does a nice write up, and while I’d like to hear it on the Shangri-La, it sound gorgeous coming through the BF2 :arrow_right: STAX tube amp :arrow_right: Nectar Hive. And what a lineup of great songs! Not only Stardust, but Love is the Thing, Ain’t Misbehavin’ It’s All in the Game –

This album is graduate school in how to write, produce, and sing songs.

Wow that Silver Ladder album is a gem on detailed headphones, always been a sucker for ambient electronic in the background while doing work etc.

For Empy owners, if you like female vocals this album is just a stunner to my ears. A lot of it is recorded by her personally during the pandemic. The is a ton of details and reverb in many of the songs that just sounds fantastic on the Empy. Blood Ballet is one of my favorites!

I love Austra too. They don’t put out albums very often, so I didn’t realize they released an album last year until I saw your post. Thanks!

This one’s great:

The annoying part, though, is that its sound quality isn’t the best, or at least I’ve not found a particularly well-produced version of it.
