So I DROVE my Leaf down to where Alpha Tech is, and bought a new needle! $25 bucks and it sounds perfect! :-) Played side two of Jimi Hendrix's "Are You Experienced?" and yes, I AM! :-)

So when I got home on put on the side of "Are You Experienced?" I was going to listen to, including one of my fave Hendrix songs "Fire" which sounds GREAT with a new needle!

On my Klipsch, Bozak and other great speakers! JAM! :-)

Occasionally instruments in the original Hendrix mixes were recorded
in stereo out of phase and they will vanish when played in mono.

Probably happens only on the original LP and not on remixes.

That was done with many era artists... those were quite annoying when
one channel didn't work well. I have listened to lots of 8 tracks where
one instrument was distinctly on one channel or the other.

Its not the stereo panorama I was referring to but where the same
instrument is recorded (more or less equally on both stereo channels)
with one channel out of phase to the other.

Simply, one stereo side pushes while the other side pulls instead of
both sides pushing in the usual way. It gives a slightly spacey sound
but the push-pulls cancel each other out, which is what mono playback
shows. In normal playback, the better your loudspeakers the more the
unwanted cancellation occurs.

He appears to be in an extended hypomanic stage:

https://www.self.com/story/hypomanic-episodes-facts

An excerpt:

" Feeling abnormally upbeat
Feeling jumpy
Feeling euphoric
Increased activity or energy
Heightened self-esteem
Trouble sleeping
Talking more than usual
Irritability or agitation
Racing thoughts
Taking behavioral risks, like making poor financial decisions"

Sound familiar?

I think somone needs to contact the BJC Medical Clinic psych department.
John claims one of their psychiatrists' has approved this reduction
from 50mg to 25mg of his medication. I don't really believe that but
even if so, doesn't seem to be working well and doesn't speak well to
the quality of their care.

He should call:

I'm old enuf to remember when stereo was a Really Big Deal, and records were
issued in mono or stereo editions...in the late 60's you could get mono discs for really
cheap, as the mono issues were being deleted from the catalog by then...

The late 50's was the "Stereophonic Craze" era, stereo was hyped as a fantastic new technology,
and good old Yankee capitalism made it available to YOU THE CONSUMER!

BTW, the first commercial US stereophonic recording was the 1954 release of conductor
Fritz Reiner conducting the Strauss tone poem 'Also Sprach Zarathustra' [the opening was
most famously used in the movie '2001: A Space Odyssey' ]...

This was issued on a two - track 7 1/2 open - reel tape on the RCA Victor 'Red Seal' label...cost
was $14.95, in today's dollahs that is over $150.00 - being an audiophile was truly a rich man's
hobby back then. From what I've read, the original old acetate - era tapes can still play beautifully...

http://www.boija.com/tape/rca_2-track.htm

'New York, May 22: The imminent issuance of a high fidelity batch of pre-recorded tapes by RCA Victor
will include a collection of Red Seal disk items transferred to magnetic tape. One of the last named
reels will be a binaural offering featuring Fritz Reiner conducting the Chicago Symphony Orchestra playing
Strauss' "Also Sprach Zarathustra" (The Billboard, May 29, 1954). Original 1954 RCA Victor Red Seal 2-track
tape #ECS-1tape box depicted...

You can still buy it on an audiophile LP, and eBay sometimes has an original 1954 tape
copy for several hundred bux:

https://store.acousticsounds.com/d/91383/Fritz_Reiner-Richard_Strauss_Also_Sprach_Zarathustra-200_Gram_Vinyl_Record

https://classicalcandor.blogspot.com/2012/09/strauss-also-sprach-zarathustra-hqcd.html


RCA advertised their "Living Stereo" on the label, record cover and elsewhere...the logo is pretty
cool - and there is a link to a very cool 1958 RCA advertising video, very "suave"! Here:

https://insheepsclothinghifi.com/rca-victor-living-stereo/

Is the RCA Victor “Living Stereo” series the Big Bang of vinyl culture?

In 1958, RCA Victor introduced to the world a new technology under the banner “Living Stereo.”
Focused at first on standard repertoire classical music, the vinyl imprint went all-in on
high-fidelity listening, a movement enabled by stereophonic technology and innovations
in sound reproduction.

Buoyed by the invention Westrex stereo cutterheads that same year, “Living Stereo”
albums tapped engineering advances that had occurred across the previous decade,
including the introduction of Scully lathes, to create what are considered some of the
best mastered albums in history.

At the time, culture was entering a listening craze. The astounding clarity and precision
of stereophonic reproduction begat the idea of “serious listening” as a pastime. Within
a year, the “Living Stereo” series of LPs would branch out to include breathtakingly recorded
albums by Tito Puente, Juan García Esquivel, Eartha Kitt, Perez Prado, Chet Atkins and the
Isley Bros. (That said, the majority of the imprint’s non-classical releases were treacly
instrumental pop.)...

...

Eartha Kitt – St. Louis Blues (1958)

Stop what you’re doing and pull out Eartha Kitt’s 1959 recording of “Chantez-les bas.”
Featuring the seductive diva backed by Los Angeles trumpeter and bandleader Shorty
Rogers (and a young Johnny “Guitar” Watson), Kitt’s take on the W.C. Handy standard
carries you into RCA’s state-of-the-art studio on Sunset Blvd. There, across the street
from the Cinerama Dome, Kitt and band worked the room until it was hot to the touch..."

You are sadly confused.  Most people type in the first person but you
don't understand what that means.  Your bipolar disorder doesn't exclude
you from being narcissistic.  You only post about yourself and your lame
accomplishments and expected failures.  I know you have a hard time
concentrating so you won't reply to anything past the first, or second,
sentence I typed, but you do have problems obvious to anyone and everyone.

I'm told you needed a different cartridge to play mono and stereo LPs.

I just bought a new Needle for my Turntable, which works great!

You posted that 4 days ago, but since everything you do is so
noteworthy, we're glad you posted it again!

I posted about the need for different mono and stereo cartridges years
ago but John replied about his new stylus.

Previously, I posted about out of phase stereo sounds which vanish in
mono on a Hendrix LP but he replies about catching his album with his
sleeve.

Are John's non-sequiturs due to plain absent-mindedness or due to some
misreading, or is he replying from within a different reality?

All 3, I think.

The proper term is "stylus", not "needle"...

My guess is that he wants to stay focused on his original post.
I have listened to Jimi Hendrix on CD in a car that had an awesome sound system. The sound system had such power handling capability and clarity that I could hear his fingers touching the strings. What an ear-opener that was! My guess is that's not possible on most vinyl recordings and playback equipment.
In the end, the material of that era was recorded on mostly 4 track machines and decisions had to be made. Guitarists of my generation used the limitations/peculiarities of vinyl recordings to work out guitar parts by playing one channel and/or playing the LP at half speed i.e., 16 RPM.

I thought that the uncommon 16 RPM was for spoken tracks only...
interesting

It was. What he meant was that guitarists would play the 33RPM
records at 16 to more easily figure out the guitar parts. I never did
that because in all the years I played I only played one cover song,
*Jerkin' Crocus*, by Mott the Hoople, and I didn't even bother to
care if the guitar part was exactly correct. Heck, I was 14.

And it wasn't! The PROPER way to play is on the Two Miles From Heaven at about TWICE the speed it is on that atrocious album!
