I like too. This Avalon set up is very strange but sound surprisingly good. Excellent value for money.

So now on WBF Avalon compass diamonds, Allnic A6000, Soulution pre, brinkmann balance, FR 66s, Allnic phono, 8 carts (to be fair we are only playing the Decca London reference here) and audiophile cables, Still points and balanced power in a 30x14 feet room is value for money
Is 90% of the much more expensive systems you heard any better than this one Ked?
I can't answer that without upsetting 90 percent of the people Tang. Though I can assure you you are in the 10 percent
Ked, you like the London Ref? I've heard it twice now, and hated it both times. It also eats vinyl.
Sonically it is very good but yes tough on LPs unless set up exact. It has to be perfect to sound good. Otherwise very fatiguing. Very temperamental. Heard that it works best on linear trackers and FR.
In my systems in the late 70's my Sum and Difference Gold and Maroons --with Pods, really shone with dynamics and attack- mounted in the Breuer 5A and 8c's I used at the time.
Still one of the best Front end transducer combinations I've ever owned--and heard since

Christian showed his Stereo version of this album a while ago. Bill and Bonzo said the mono of this is also excellent and much cheaper so I bought one...still very expensive at $185. This is one of the cleanest album I have. Superb sound and performance. I have this Bach Two Violins with Menuhin and Oistrakh, but no where near this album. Very very quiet vinyl with so low surface noise no click n pops. To my surprise, it sounds more like a stereo not mono.
Unfortunately my youtube of this has been blocked.
Kind regards,

I have also heard the stereo of this.. Mono is much better. Btw it was a blind test. General was playing the stereo, and I said this is not sounding as good today, what change have you done to the system. He said this is the stereo.
I am starting this week well. I received 4 records and it is a win four out of four. I bought this Oistrakh Devil's Trills one day before General posted. I saw it while surfing youtube. Most of my good findings are actually from youtube. I don't remember what pressing General showed but this one is not that. Mine is a Melodiya CM029312 costed €40. Excellent sound. You see my dog is sleeping in the video. This is a good sign. He walks around when the sound is shit.

Took me a while to find a mint box set of Quatuor Végh 's recordings of Beethoven string quartets - but it was worth the search.
10 LPs on the Valois label (CMB 83). I listened to op. 130 in B? major last night - the Grosse Fuge. What a sheer delight! Top notch performances from each member on every movement. B gave everyone interesting parts throughout the entire work - no boring ostinatos for the rhythm section. little showboating for the first violin. Cello and viola together were gorgeous. As fresh in the 21st C. as it was in 1825 (though few heard it then.)
The sound quality is superb, very transparent, open and clear.
Thank you dcc, very much, for this recommendation!
