Matthew North - Live Clip Plymouth Blues Bar 28th March 2024
MusicMan amps had solid state preamps and valve power amps, going back to the mid-70s. They stayed clean up to near full volume. Some had overdrive circuits.
preordered the Amazon alternative cover CD - think delivery next week - I like what I’ve heard so far. See you 2morow HMV 🎸🍺
Takes more than 1-2 listens before you can properly review an album.
i tend to get impatient with long in tnroductions I clicked on this be cause I wanted to hear some david gilmour, so I hit the thumbs down
Wow, I am the biggest pink Floyd fan around and there is no way a momentary lapse was a brilliant album. It was well below the average heck even Gilmore admitted that.
It's Gilmour not Gilmore, you biggest fan.
I'd agree in the main. Just finished a first listen so it may grow on me more yet. its a good album. Not jaw-droppingly amazing or anything. I admit I didn't care for Rattle That Lock that much and this is much better on first listen. There is certainly more variety in sounds and styles but maybe too many follow the Another Brick In the Wall Part 2 template of verse/chorus/verse/chorus/outro solo. But its a minor gripe, on the whole its a solid effort. PS - you right about the music on Roger's last tour being the same as his previous one... its all pre-recorded backing tracks!
I think your comments are very reasonable Good album nothing to get worked up about.
You sound like you could play a character on a discovery channel special on the Roman empire
Nice review Matthew. I've been disappointed with Gilmour's work for the last 30 years. It's mainly because these have not been solo records but rather a Gilmour family affair. I don't care for much of his wife's lyrics. She wasn't around during the DSOTM era or any of the Pink Floyd heyday. Now he's pushing his daughter on us and I just have zero interest. I find nepotism extremely annoying.
Hey guys can somebody help me. I recently found one on my grandfathers attic. I put in some new batteries but it won't work. I have absolutely no clue about that thing but i really wanna get it to work. A remote diagnosis is definitely difficult but I would be happy about any help. Thanks ;)
Well it will certainly need a clean certainly the battery contacts then you might get something out of it like the radio but the chances are all the belts and so on on the cassette deck will need replacing. And then all the controls will probably need cleaning as will the big switch on the circuit board for record and play
I really enjoyed watching you bring this dx7 back to life. Where did you learn your electrical skills? If I may ask. thanks
I did do electronics at college and then worked as an engineer for the BBC but it's always been in me but I have re learned a lot in the last few years since I got back into it
That' machine looks like new. I'm amazed someone decided to skip it..
The residue under the electrolytics was glue or some other compound used to make the board more vibration resistant. If you look up pictures of DX7 power supply boards, all of them have similar rings of crud under them. The caps may have dried out, but I don't think they leaked. You also probably knew this, but using capacitors with a higher voltage rating won't hurt anything.
Yep, I just refurbished my old DX21. After cleaning the boards with isopropyl I noticed they were coated in all this weird sticky crap. Once they dried out they were fine though.
I bought one a few weeks ago for £70 and I love it. Only issue I have is that it makes a loud popping sound when I turn it off.
The popping sound is common to all solid state amps.
I wonder if the polycarbonate material wears the stylus more than the vinyl because I think it is harder than vinyl
This is maybe a bit of a tenuous tangent but,, 10 mins before your notification I got a notification from Suzanne Ciani (she is an electronic musican), Its an interview with her and John Chowning I had not heard of him but a google seach told me he invented FM Synthesis. Just thought that was a coincidence worth a mention.
Oh wow that is spooky also shows you subscribe to some quality content :)
@@MatthewNorthMusic yes, how could you think anything else?
People always get scared when they see the magic smoke, but more often than not it's just "rifa madness" as Dave from EEblog calls it, the rifa filter capacitors that crack and then let off their smoke. I've only changed them once in a BBC Model B PSU. I've got an OG DX7 as well, but I've got one of the third party expansion boards in mine.
Yep I've seen many smoking rifas though all the BBC's I've had I got to them before it stank the place put. However some revoxes I wasn't quick enough ! They do stink !
Very interesting video Matthew.. Surprisingly the DX-7 seems to still hold it's ground in the world of digital sound reproduction.
I think it's great
The FS1R seems to be the one people go mad for when the SY99 is the best IMHO until the Montage appeared.
Always nice when a repair is a simple fix and goes to plan!
Yes these things make me happy
gawd how many records does the DX7 feature on 🤣🎹🎉
Loads but possibly not Grendel :)
@@MatthewNorthMusic 🤣
This has seriously taken me on a nostalgia trip. Excellent video and great memories 🎶
Thanks Kal
They’ve got another sale on at the moment. I was in there yesterday looking at the sale vinyl and there was an Avenged Sevenfold album reduced from £59.99 to about £35. I often wonder who buys some of these full-price albums before they get reduced. Do they actually sell any at the full price. Some of the prices are laugh-out-loud high. I remember seeing an Elton John single album for £60 in there last year (at least the Avenged Sevenfold was a double or triple) and thinking WTF who buys that at that price.
The interesting comparison for me would have been the polycarbonate vs. traditional vinyl, rather than the digital version of the recording.
I've always thought that as polycarbonate is more difficult to damage than vinyl it might make for a more durable record. (I hesitate to use the patented name for the most common form of polycarbonate - it's used for headlight lenses on cars)
Wow! What a treasure! Being a huge fan of independent or "pirate" radio ..this blew me away! I felt transported back in time. And hearing Marc‼️🤯 Hope to hear the rest. Thank you for this from across the pond.💖
Christmas is coming :)
Your achievement is not just a reflection of your hard work but also of your resilience. Congratulations on this well - earned success.
This is a brilliant series of videos. Thanks!
I think it is quite cheap sounding
I was on YTS in a tiny builders office inputting thousands of old invoices in triplicate , it was sweltering luckily I had Laser 555 pirate radio to listen to which did occasionally play Eyes Without a face by Billy idol , the van Halen album 1984 was big
Beautiful RX15! My one had fallen away the painting.
@Matthew North Music Hi, did you compare it to the normal vinyl pressed version to say it sounds about 80% as good as the vinyl version ? This is something I've always wondered... why not use a more durable and high-performance material than simple vinyl ?
There isn't a 'normal' vinyl version that I know of
I use the basic version of Spotify. Just gave you a follow and that channel a share on Facebook and X.
Thanks buddy
Yay! Kids can finally stop saying 'vinyls'.
Congrats Matthew 🎉
Thank you
Great stuff Matt - Now 3 was the first Now comp I acquired 🎉
Ah , poster mags. I had forgotten. ❤
Yes my local newsagents always had the odd one here n there
@@MatthewNorthMusic Going to the newsagent to see the one-off or serial pop magazines was such a joy in the '80s, almost as much as going to a record shop itself. Info about your favourite band could be really hard to come by in those days. I remember the excitement of spotting a magazine I hadn't seen before with FGTH in it, for example. My dad worked for the Government in the '80s, and would often travel to Germany on business. He would bring back LOADS of German pop magazines that were full of interviews with the British stars of the day. I guess kids have some kind of equivalent today, but I really miss finding stuff like that in local shops and putting the posters on my bedroom walls.
Better late than never🤣…another great addition to the series! I particularly liked the ending 10 minutes or so….could watch a whole video of you just going through old music magazines…very entertaining. Cheers!
Thank you
I would like to see a spectrum from white noise. I think looking at the spectrum of music is misleading I think since you always see the harmonic frequencies as well and that may make the spectrum look wider. If you look at white noise and simply do a frequency analysis, you will see a tooth like structure where the harmonics are. Measuring a record involves also additional bits like the needle, the mechanics the A/D transformation while you can basically rip the data from the CD without anything in between. But that is just my humble opinion, I normally look at signals for speech recognition and not music.
I know this video is 2 years old, but this is the first time I've seen it. Friggan awesome showing a Damian Wilson record! I'll be seeing Damian Wilson at ProgPower US this next week (Sept 7, 2024) in Atlanta, GA in the US. I've seen him before with Threshold a few years ago at RoSFest in Gettysburg, PA. Two years later, I wonder what other albums are using this injection molding process. Nearly all the albums I've bought over the past couple of years were made using the traditional PVC pressing.
Say hi to Damian from me. A wonderful human being And simply one of the best singers on the planet
@@MatthewNorthMusic Yes indeed. An awesome singer and I have nearly all the Threshold and Headspace albums. Did not know about this solo album. Did listen to it on Bandcamp, but may try to buy a copy directly from him in Atlanta.
His solo albums are superb as are the albums with Adam Wakeman. When I leave this land is one of the finest songs ever recorded in my book
@@MatthewNorthMusic Very nice. I pulled that song "When I Leave this Land" up on Bandcamp and indeed, an excellent song. Sound friggan incredible on my high-end "audiophile" setup. When I see him live this upcoming week in Atlanta, I hope he will have some of his albums available to buy directly off of him, as that shipping on Bandcamp is killer to the US. The one shown here is 24 Euros (about $26.70), plus another $14 to ship to the US. Yeah, I am excited to get to see him perform live, plus the fact that I am also one of the festival sponsors, which means I have full VIP access, so I may actually get to hang out with him backstage. I'll have my professional concert photography gear with me, so I will be taking many a picture. If you have an e-mail contact, I'll have to send some to you.
6:33 T U R N T H E F U C K I N G V O L U M E D O W N I F Y O U D O N ' T L I K E I T . The point about CD is that it keeps all the information, allowing you to scale it to taste.
Snce yo showed the quite portion between tracks for the record, I was hoping you would show hte same portion from the CD.
Why it's going to be silent after all
@@MatthewNorthMusic So, a zero in digital is zero, in other words, there is No Noise. That to me is one of the biggest factors in choosing a CD over vinyl records. I do get that mastering has a lot to do with the overall sound quality which you showed in that comparison.
I wonder if it's more scratch resistant? Thanks for sharing!
Will I haven't tried to be honest and possibly or possibly not!
I scrubbed over this video more than once in utter disbelief that you went through all of the effort of making this video and didn't actually play us a single sound from that record. Is this the highest level of audiophile lunacy? Buying records just to digitize them and pixel peep the waveforms?
Highest level? You've seen nowt!
It's called copyright. . . .
Two questions one must consider. Is it more durable than a vinyl record? Is it smoother than a vinyl record meaning less stylus wear?
Having a tech background injection moulding pc compared to pressing a puck of vinyl is asking for trouble. I am not saying it can't work or sound great but from a manufacture pov. You need a lot of energy to heat up pc and shape it into a record injection moulding. With vinyl you just need to get to melting point and the press does the rest. Polycarbonate is just as vinyl a pallet as a raw material (resin).
But these pellets are melted before injection, thus these records are made of liquified stuff. This, I suppose, will make for less surface noise.
@@Paul58069 You can not inject pellets without warming them up, you'd get an obstruction in the inlet also called "blocking".
Working on the USA version of one of these now............ hopefully things will shake out for me.
Good Luck
Very interesting to me. How about the durability of polycarbonate vs. vinyl? Are there experiences, for example with wearing by dust between needke and record? From my feeling I would expect that vinyl is more elastic and therefore more robust than polycarbonate (?)
I don't think its relevant any for of plastic will probably outlive the owner by many years! Thus noting to worry about.
Frequency domain of the signal based on Fourrier transform is always dependant on levels of individual frequencies. Less loudness = less dominant FFT presence. That’s why in looks like there are no high frequencies on signal from less loud LP. But they are still there. Your presentation is widely used misconception based on very little knowledge of signal theory. In fact,BW of LP is limited more by rpm,than anything else - and that’s just forgotten physics of physical recording.
We had one in Greenock I rememberb it in the 80's from my childhood. I think I bought some sort of wire or cable from it might have been so that I could connect whatever I had to my brothers car stereo so that I could play my music through it.
