Zero Distortion: Tango Time

Here is a piece that I am trying to find a good one on vinyl but havent found one just yet. It is Sarasate Zigeunerweisen. I bought one played by Perlman but the record did not pass my golden ears. Heifetz's version also sounds terrific on youtube. For now I only have the Gypsy Airs on tape. It is my favorite Ed Pong's. Violin by Tatsuki Narita and Yun-Yang Lee on piano. If you have tape machine you should buy one. It is a knock out.

Yeah the sarasate and Carmen is the most famous of Ricci's, Christian posted the pic earlier, you can get it off G for mega bucks. I heard his LP, sounded awesome.

I have an undated reissue, and this indeed sounds pretty good.
 
Campoli ,Heifetz,Rabin,Bobesco,Hatto and Balkovic have done the better performances.

The Ricci orchestral is also better.

Kindest regards,G.

Tang, wonderful music. When I close my eyes, all is right with the world. When I open my eyes, I am drawn to the power in the right channel because those tubes draw my eyes to the right side. I am left wondering....
 
Peter, get some headphones and an eyemask LOL.
 
Maybe tang can stack them on top of each other to make Peter happy. It will then look like one big middle finger to SS

I was joking, Kedar, but you seem quite serious this morning.

No that was a joke. And yes it is my lunch time so I might be serious. Tbh I never noticed this until you pointed this out once before

He doesn't mind the asymmetry. Symmetrical transparent cable boxes on either side balance the issue

Wrong again! :) The only cables that could be conscientiously used with asymmetrical length by serious audiophiles were the impedance controlled OCOS with the OCOS terminator. :cool:

Why is that? Because O on either side of the C?
