Well, the wife is pretty happy I ordered in one of her favorites! #MariyaTakeuchi’s Variety is a top #JPop album, released in 1984 and a staple of her Karaoke repertoire. Most songs, including Plastic Love, are familiar to me too. This is the 2021 reissue. . #japanesepop #vintageaudio #audiophile

Ah, lunch break and today it’s #DonaldByrd time with my fave, Slow Drag. Love this collaboration with #SonnyRed. And the #TonePoet reissue is dynamite! . #jazzmusic #vintageaudio #audiophile

I likes me some small-group #McCoyTyner, and this 1962 trio session (Reaching Fourth) on #ImpulseRecords with Henry Grimes and Roy Haynes is a doozie. #jazzsky #jazzmusic

Christmas is well and truly over, but this green and red combo sure is festive. Sunday evening with #EnricoRava and #MarioRusca, and their 1997 album D.N.A., first released on vinyl for RSD 2022. Italian jazz! #jazzsky #jazzmusic

Every year I create a 4x4 bingo card of records I want to get. I call this #WantListBingo. Here’s my almost completed 2024 card, and the new one for 2025 (with one obvious carry over). Wish me luck! #jazzsky #jazzmudic #vinylcollection

Thought I had a copy of #CliffordJordan’s eponymous 1957 album with #LeeMorgan (the one given a #TonePoet reissue in November). Went to play it last week only to discover I was mistaken. That’s been rectified now. Lovely record, and Lee slays as usual. #jazzsky #audiosky

I think AP reissued it again recently…

Exit2Vintage @exit2vintage.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

Hard to pinpoint, but probably around 2010? Certainly saw an uptick in interest in non digital media and equipment starting around then, and the pandemic just kinda exploded all that.

General quality of modern pressings is very high, but in the early days of the vinyl resurgence audiophile reissues were a significant step up.

Rejigged the office system, with Sony PS1 connected to a Rogersound Labs ia255.1 mini amp feeding ADS L200’s (similar to Minimus 7, but better sound). MacBook Air interfaces with the amp by USB, office laptop by Bluetooth, and PS1 by RCA. A small package with punch. #musicsky #audiosky

2) Nowadays many standard reissue series could also be classified as audiophile, such as the Blue Note Tone Poets and Classics, Acoustic Sounds and Craft OJCs, along with more expensive UHQR and other One Step releases.

Historically a release that had been remastered for modern turntable capabilities, and pressed on heavy, high-grade vinyl for best playback results. Labels like Analogue Productions, Classic Records, Impex, MoFi, Pure Pleasure, Speakers Corner, etc.

The first audiophile vinyl I purchased was in the lockdown summer of 2020. Ordered a copy through Discogs of the 2015 #AnalogueProductions reissue of #GeneAmmons’ 1960 masterpiece, Boss Tenor. Gene had one of the biggest, fattest, smoothest tenor sounds. AP does him justice. #jazzsky #musicsky

Back to very cold in Calgary as of Dec. 31 (good for allergies, but bad for wanting to venture outdoors). Warming things up with the #Bossa sounds of #AntonioCarlosJobim and Wave from 1967. #musicsky #bossanova

It’s been warm in Calgary for about a week now (benefits of Chinook conditions). Unfortunately for me warm = snow melt = snow mold = allergies, so I’m feeling a bit out of it. A little #AstrudGilberto is perking me up though; such carefree, uplifting music! #bossanova #jazzsky

6 years ago when we had JUST moved into our new house, a Photoshop-savvy IG fan put together this #ChristmasStory themed edit of the Shag Palace. System and furnishings have changed since then, but those lamps would make an awesome addition! Merry Christmas to you. #musicsky #christmassky

Something about vocal jazz at Christmas time just feels right, even when it’s not Christmas music. #dinahwashington #jazzsky #jazzmusic

I’m admittedly more a fan of instrumental jazz than vocal, but I heard a LOT of vocal sides at Jazz Kissas in Japan in September and I’ve been bitten by the bug. Now spinning #BlossomDearie’s eponymous 1957 effort, reissued last year. #jazzsky #jazzmusic #vocaljazz

From this angle the #Klipsch Forte’s look a bit like Cornwalls! Ceiling shot, listening to Toshiko Akiyoshi and then-husband Charlie Mariano’s quartet. . #jazzsky #jazzmusic #audiosky

New tubes arrived for the Dynaco today. These Ray Tubes KT88s are monsters, and sound pretty great. Getting into their second hour of use here with #BillEvans and #JimHall… will be interesting to see how these develop as they settle in. #jazzsky #tubeamplifier #jazzmusic
