Zero Distortion: Tango Time

Sitting waiting to go to Germany after the pandemic is over. It looks lovely in the corner. The CND dollar took a shit kicking too! So not much going my way.

Sorry about that!

I just procrastinated for so long, now I will continue to wait. Now with more time to listen I didn't get my act together to get it shipped months ago. One day it will be done.

This Glenn Gould Bach Goldberg Variations album is pretty good. I was reading market report and playing this album in my office. The dynamic and energy from piano strikes kept stealing away my attention from what I was reading. Try multitasking something while playing this album, very so often you will pause yourself and twitch your head to listen to the piano. A lot of presence. No black background here. I like doing thing with light on. The recording could be better if the air is a little more see through.

You Glenn Gould recorded this twice
it was given to me as a twenty first birthday present by my best friend at University

his technique is very suited to contrapuntal music
try and get copy of film called Glenn Gould thirty two easy pieces which was also a soundtrack and compilation of documentaries about Gould and often his playing he even had his own music show !

What is contrapuntal music. Is it like two violins play different melody at the same time?

Nice to see you around Tang. Ordered a copy, sounds fun to me.

You might like the 1956 version from a younger Gould in mono: Columbia Masterworks ML 5060

Yes, counterpoint is two or more melodies played at the same time. Harmonies are related while rhythms are not. Listen to the end of Mozart's Symphony 41 for pretty amazing five voice counterpoint.

Thank you Folsom. I am back working at my office now. We are down to just 1 additional infected person per day. New cases seem to only come from people migrating back from abroad who were forced to be under quarantined for 14 day under assigned facilities.

My basshorns are sitting in a warehouse. Ralph is unable to fly here and install for me because of flying in restriction. I will have to install them myself having Ralph supervise over Zoom or something. I have been working a lot during this Covid. Surprisingly I have been selling very well and had the record breaking monthly sales last month. My brother said I should remain working from home.

Music is still very good in the room.

Just an update. It took the whole day just to carry these horns up to my office on third fl. Some time I just wonder what have I gotten myself into.



The guy in the pic isnt me. He is a race car engineer whom I asked to assemble the horns for me. I had his pit crew do the heavy lifting. The designer of my speaker couldn't come due to covid restriction. But That's ok. The Thais can do it better.

Everything is still unplugged.

And to think the rest of us have something like a Bose Wave radio in our offices. Simply incredible. Congratulations, Tang. Race car driving indeed.

Nothing does what you described better than Magico Subs Marc.

Oh, just your new friend, Tang. He's taken his trousers off Lol.
Me and subs? 12 years of love/hate (or is that more, hate/despise) relationship w my Zus subs finally sorted a week ago.
I'll raise a glass to you that you get yrs sorted in 12mins or 12hrs, and not 12 yrs...

 

[Folsom]

Now everyone can see how big a horn has to be to actually be a horn that reaches into actual bass territory horn loaded! So big the hood ordainment is an actual race car driver.

Looks like you got room on top for tri-ML-3 amping per speaker. Actually maybe just a custom super wide Nothing rack over the back?

 

[Ron Resnick]

Dear Tang,

Are these the same model of basshorns as audioquattr just installed (but with the pieces pushed together instead of separated)?

 

[HughP3]

That is a “wow” picture! Zeus size

Yes, Sir.

If I cant get them to work I just turn the things off and have a few motor show girls come dance on them Marc. First time I saw, I was thinking of pole dancing stage.
