Man. Those opening notes! I got chill bumps on my arms, and tears in my eyes. This is how music is supposed to move you.

[@davidfromamerica1871]

KZbin gives you control over your streaming quality, but the options are limited to High (256Kbps), Normal (128Kbps), and Low (4Kbps). The 256kbps audio codec works great. This 256 kbps codec gives a much smoother audio quality experience over FLAC and Lossless codec’s. That is why this upload sounds very good.

[@titosirj6262]

I saw Grover Washington play live about an hour’s drive from Buffalo, NY. So awesome to listen to hear him play live. That was in 1988. And yes, he played this same song.

[@freshuniversegaming]

That was his hometown!

[@cyelannford4735]

One of my favorite songs OAT!! Satisfied every time I hear this wonderful classic!! Yes, the good old days...😍😍 Awesome TT too!!🤩🤩

[@MamaHill]

One of my favorite singers and my favorite sax player made an incredible duo! Too bad they didn't do more together. Maybe they are in heaven!

[@Tnapvrvideo]

Great share!!!! The movie Notting Hill has a sound track that is most certainly worth buying for anyone who enjoys this song. It has Withers, Costello, Green, and a handful of others. My wife and I listen to that soundtrack from end to end.

[@jwester7009]

I really like this full view at the turntable. Never quite understood the extreme close up view of the cartridge while playing. So for me it's a big step up. The sound has always been good

[@bareknuckles2u]

Thank you for this, and so many of your other videos. Your care and attention to detail inspires me to derive as much pleasure as I can from this wonderful hobby. You have also helped me re-think the value of higher grade pressings. Since watching your videos this past late spring I have upgraded my system with a new amp and turntable, but mostly I have focused on building my collection of quality pressings. I am enjoying music more than ever. Cheers!

I love your videos. I've discovered lots of music I may not have by watching these videos and then got them on vinyl myself. I only have a simple set up but hopefully I'll upgrade as time goes on. Appreciate the story board at the end. Really shows how much work you put into these. Well done, it's fantastic.

[@HiFisquarepants]

Comments like yours keep me motivated to keep going, which is somehow hard after so many years. Big thanks! :)

Wow! Sounds perfect - always loved this cut by Bill W. MOFI has a lovely rich bass sound. Fantastic equipment you have there too. Thank you for sharing 👍

[@HiFisquarepants]

It is my pleasure. Thanks! ;)

[@bareknuckles2u]

I love this video! Why? Well, for a few reasons. 1st, I would like to share something with you: during this past covid summer, I decided to upgrade my TT from a starter Onkyo (nice, but a starter) to a Pro-ject X2 (intermediate, but a serious upgrade). The colour scheme is the same as this TT. I love it! Wood with the fat acrylic platter. I bought an Ortofon Blue stylus to replace the Silver since it was an easy switch during the lockdown. This was based on feedback you gave me on another video. I then bought the Pro-ject clamp. My Onkyo amp then died on me so I replaced it with a Rega Brio. Together, they are wonderful! Then I bought a bunch of Mo-Fi records and have been enjoying my music listening so much. I feel like I have entered into a different realm of HiFi (sort of entry mid-fi) that is different than what I was used to. I have to say that your videos inspired me to enjoy this lovely hobby on a different level. Thank you for taking the time to post these videos. I know that so many of your viewers enjoy them immensely, as I do. Cheers brother!

[@bikemike1118]

The Brasserie restaurant at Hilton on Park Lane (London) used to play this song in rotation in 1996 … 😊

[@prestonw.coleman4990]

It sounds as new as the first day I heard it back in 1980 or 82. The set up was McIntosh, Lynn turntable (with Ortofon), and Thiel CS-5 speakers. The presence, and depth were so live like, I remember I kept asking myself "why do I keep smiling". The soundstage my God, I had to keep opening my eyes to see if someone sneaked in the room and started playing a cowbell or bongos. This takes me back to Myer Emco 1212 conn. ave. .😊

[@Boudas72]

Used to have exactly this phono stage and the battery power supply. Battery is very quiet but the dynamics are gone with the wind. The set up was based on a Clearaudio Tallisman V2 mc cartridge, Michell Gyro SE turtable, Reed 2A tonearm. The sound was very clear, the system was very quiet but the final result was something with no soul. Everything was "right" but with no guts. Turn on a same price tube phono stage and the difference is day and night.

[@Beaut_Beau]

Wonderful song in the best quality i have ever heard it in, thank ye kindly for your efforts good sir!

[@platterjockey]

I'd love to hear the long album version on this system.

A smooth jazz classic! The Pro-ject looks and sounds great - and the "cut glass" effect on the clamp is a nice touch of bling. This is a very clean-looking setup too! I like the video story-board at the end! I wish I was that organised ;o)

If you went to an "institution for the criminally insane" and borrowed a "Single Ended Triode Valve Amp" and plugged it in ??? ... Would the sound reproduction be just as "mad" ??? ... ... "Be Away" these "blingy" new Rolls Royces and even Bentley 4x4's !!!!!!!!!!!!!! ... As your hi-fi is a lovely vocation !!!

[@javaking1000]

I think this might be the best sounding recording I have ever heard on KZbin! It's even a bit better than the Dire Straits recordings on here, and some of those are pretty spectacular. When I first started to listen to this track I immediately thought - oh, not this song again, I'm so tired of this one. Then when I heard the sound quality I was immediately drawn into it, I was hearing things I had never noticed before. Then when the cowbells(?) started in the left channel at 2:40 I literally gasped! HiFisquarepants, THANK-YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS SONG AND YOUR AMAZING EQUIPMENT WITH US!

[@yorkemar]

I found pro ject gear riddled with rumble from turntables, and hum from their electrical products. Gone rotel and technics.

[@douglasmaclean5836]

w an audio friend we compared cd and vinyl, no comparison, the vinyl filled the apartment w rich lush sound & no way to easily identify where the speakers were... that was 20 yrs ago.

[@Si1983h]

I have a very decent vinyl and digital front end but I can easily identify where my speakers are, I can see them, they’re right in front of my listening position where they’ve been ever since I put them there... I know what you’re saying though, the sound completely escapes the bounds of the cabinets... I’m lucky in that I have that effect whether listening to vinyl, CD or streaming.

Hola Francisco: Pues si no es porque entro a mirar, temiendo una prolongada ausencia, es que me topo con este video el cual no había visto. este ya tiene un mes :O Mas vale tarde que nunca. Tienes un TT muy bonito, la va muy bien ese clamp, :P Esos Phono Box que tienes no podrían funcionar en mi patria, usamos la electricidad 110V, aunque creo en mi país rara vez llega a completar esos 110V, con todos estos apagones. Muy bonito espacio, sobre todo veo que los "cassette case" dan muy buen aspecto. Para el el millenial o centenial promedio tales objetos han de ser totalmente desconocidos. Precisamente, hoy(al momento de escribir aquí), había estado pensado en hacer un upgrade a algunos de mis equipos. Con las condiciones que nos trajo este 2020 no había podido hacerlo pero espero que para próximo, ya se pueda. Más adelante pediré tu recomendación, justamente los discos que he comprado más recientes tardan mucho mas tiempo en llegar, un asunto con el cual tendré que lidiar mientra estemos en estos tiempos. Muy bien, todo este trabajo visual acompañado de un buen trago, cada quien que lo haga con su bebida favorita Veo que usaste un storyboard, yo también los hago. Tu dibujo, aunque son bocetos no terminados, están bien hechos. sobre todo con el TT y la BRONZE o mas bien la OM BRONZE :) En mi caso, la mayoría de mis storyboards los hago con lapicero, una vez terminado los tiro a la basura, es que con los dibujos que hago, entre otras cosas, esto se volvería, como dicen en tu tierra, un follón. En Mis recientes videos no he hecho Storyboard, fue con la intención dejarlos más espontáneos, aparte de que no tuve in incluir tantas imágenes, pero es mas recomendable hacer el storyboard ;) La única queja que tengo, es que esta versión es el radio edit, esperaba la de 7 minutos y medio aproximadamente. De todas maneras, y como siempre, ya es costumbre en tu canal que la calidad del sonido va de excelente a sobresaliente. Hablando de videos recientes, justamente hace unos pocos días subí uno video en mi canal, hago de las mías en mi famoso intro, te invito a que lo veas y comentes. ¡Saladines!
