It’s a been a while, but sometimes it’s nice to slow down from my normal YouTube channel and get back to the things I love – like lacquer! I have been meaning to do another volume for some time and here we are. Volume 6 brings us the venerable Nina Simone and her I Put […]

When you talk about truly iconic, powerhouse recordings, Steinberg’s “Also Sprach Zarathustra” with the BSO is the real deal— one of the most recognizable pieces of all time. The fact that Supersense got access to the original tapes for an Archival Tape Edition is frankly wild. This isn’t just another reissue; it’s a direct-cut lacquer

An oft talked about album, John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme is regularly mentioned in the top 10 of best jazz albums of all time. While I have mixed feelings about it myself, I do understand the sentiment. It wasn’t until hearing it on lacquer that I truly understood though – there is an emotion that

If I had known Jack’s music prior to purchasing this lacquer, there’s a very real chance I wouldn’t have done it. But damn am I glad that I did, because there was so much emotion in his singing that he made a fan out of me. For a full review, you can watch my video.

Okay, it’s hard to say at this point that I don’t believe in lacquers as I’m not the proud owner of over a dozen of them. That said, when Burmester announced their Pure Sound series for the eye watering $900(!!!!), I debated internally for quite a long time over whether it was worth the purchase

When I ordered my first lacquer, I’ll be completely honest that it was due to an off-the-wall dare from one of my friends. Little did I know that it would turn into a small obsession. If I had to use one word to describe the Gregory Porter release, it would be “life-like”. It is undoubtedly

For those in the know, I am a rather big Double Bass enthusiast. Call me biased since I play the instrument myself, but it’s totally better than the cello in every way possible. Growing up, there was a particular album by Gary Karr that I always loved. Partly because of its sound, but also because

The Planar 6 sits at the middle of the current Rega range of turntables. Not groundbreaking, but neither is it a slouch. I was quite surprised when I dropped the needle the first time. But seeing as it was a turntable I never expected to own, you know I had to write a review once

As I start to get back into the swing of things, I think the perfect album to start things off is Odesza’s latest, the Last Goodbye Tour. Just like most releases from Odesza, this one took me by surprise. I knew they were on tour, but I didn’t quite expect them to record a show
