What are you currently listening to (Classical)?

[the_nines]

Yes...ha ha - realised who was who, re composer/band leader - no I meant your audio system - which of your audio systems was that? - looks abit like an Accu Receiver and some Devore's or a Proac floorstander of some sort. TT?

No idea... anyway - loved the look of it.

I see you have a CS600, which is one of my fav's esp with KT120's which I ran with mine when I had one (twice), or 6N3C. Nuisance about the KT's - you had to leave the lid off. Kinda put a dampener of it.

You have excellent taste

LOL, sorry about that. I mis-understood.
The system in the pic:

Fisher 500B (receiver)
Devore Gibbon Eights (speakers)
Technics SP10-MK2 (turntable)
The turntable is sitting in a hand-built plinth I built myself, made of Baltic Birch ply sheets and American Redwood veneer.
Thomas Shick 12" (tonearm)
Denon DL103R PRO (cartridge)

Thank you.

Gosh - how wonderful. We don't have Devore here in Australia - or at least not that I have seen - nor the Fisher brand.

Thanks for your reply.

Thanks Rando - great link. Listened to it this morning.

Yup on the mend - its abit two steps forward one step back stuff. Last time I let a surgeon near me.

Been off audio forums (well - this is the only one I was on) since last I posted here - I checked back in yesterday for a browse about....reminded me why I quit being an audiophile.

Fortunately this thread remains a haven of civility and interest.

I'll be reading this thread with interest for a while. Always nice to get recommendations and jogs of the memory.

Be well mate.

Nice to have you back and get well soon

 

[Andrew S.]

Thanks Christoph. I feel abit of a fraud being here - haven't got any audiophile gear at all these days - but listen to music alot, so can share in that.

I'll pop up from time to time and we can compare notes on some recordings.

LOVE the gear. That is the receiver I grew up with in my home until I left for college. Brings back such wonderful memories. Gorgeous case work.

Good evening, or morning gentleman,

Of late I have been listening to BBC Sounds "Through the night" a 6 hour collage of wonderment.

The one i have been listening to today:

Through the Night - Saint-Saëns from Paris - BBC Sounds

The Orchestre National de France perform Saint-Saëns's Requiem and Third Symphony.

www.bbc.co.uk

with a little fast forwarding according to taste,

I commend BBC Radio 3 to all classical lovers

BBC Sounds - Through the Night - Available Episodes

Listen to the latest episodes of Through the Night on BBC Sounds.

www.bbc.co.uk

I'll add that you soon forget 320kbs AAC-LC in favour of the recordings and performances. Truly - and you will all laugh - a glass of brandy, cognac, port or whatever your tipple is, winter, a fire, the wind outside, and this is all you need for a happy evening.

Estonian Festival Orchestra, Paavo Jarvi - Estonian Premieres

I find the album cover artwork particularly evocative. And the music itself stands up to the challenge.

Minu arvates on albumi kaanekujundus eriti meeldejääv. Ja muusika ise peab väljakutse vastu.
