What's the use of a record which doesn't get played?It’s like driving a new car off the lot. Playing the record diminishes its value by 50%
Ordered June 2nd and it came last week with a nice low number....
I’m listening to it for the first time and it’s amazing. Agree with Amadeus 100%. Great recording and performance.
13 is my lucky number. You should send it to me Howie.
People who use Koda amp seem to get all dynamic they want.

Tang,
i'm sure what you meant to say is you don't like the Bruckner 7th........yet.
classical is like that, a journey where one thing leads to another. there are so many corners of classical i could not get my head around, then......i did. sometimes it's even system evolution. your new bass horns might make a type of music essential that you could not previously fathom.....as an example.
that's even true for rock. 5 years ago i sold around a1000 70's and 80's rock records that were bands i could not get into. they had come to me in a collection. then 2 years later my mind opened to some of those groups and i kicked myself for being so short sighted. same with classical even more. i realize it's on me to get the music and to be patient with my progress; nothing wrong with the music.

I cannot say. Maybe my liking evolve over time. But for now Bruckner symphony, I like the no 3 and no 8. I like drama, hearty touch and impact in music. The build up, the pace changing, to climaxes. The eruption. The 3 and 8 have that for me.
Not the 7...for now.

7th is my favorite Bruckner. first and third movement are excellent. I heard 5th to 9th. Never heard 3rd.
mine arrived today #787, no advance notice. obviously i started this thread and ordered and paid on June 4th. so 6 weeks.
but......it was absolutely worth it.
an unusual full symphony recording perspective for sure, but i was captivated. it's a textural and tonal dream-like experience. you are up front and immersed in this enveloping embrace of music. and the precision and lack of distortion in the grooves is unique. the air bearing CS Port tt/linear tracker -> Etsuro Gold -> EMIA silver SUT -> CS Port phono really revealed every molecule of information and i got an amazing amount of detail and sense of individual instruments and flow. like a field of wheat billowing in the wind in a ultra high resolution picture.
you did not get the same sense of huge space some large orchestral recordings impart, but such an intimate touch with the music. yet it had plenty of scale and authority. it's going to take me a few listenings to this to really take it all in. tonight i just let it wash over me and sat back and enjoyed it.
i could see it would not appeal equally to all; as it gloriously breaks lots of rules and has it's own message. you have to accept it on it's own terms. i enjoyed all the box set materials, and feel the specialness of this recording totally justifies that extra effort and expense.
i'd love a shelf full of recordings just like this.

loved it fully. it will be often re-visited personally......and a 'go-to' show-off demo disc for sure.

Tang,
forget about whether you 'think' you like this particular symphony; get this as a musical event on it's own terms. like abstract art. mood music.
hard to imagine it would not touch your soul. you deserve to hear this played on a system.......just.......like.......yours.
trust me.
