+1 on Relayer
After my wife goes to sleep later I will be spinning Yes and Rush. How can you play one without the other? |
I watched the documentary In Search of Beethoven yesterday and I started this morning at 9:15 EST with Klemperer and Brundel performing piano concertos and I’m now 1/3 of the way into the 9th Symphony in the nine symphony Von Karajan box set from the 1961-1962 recordings. I’m fighting off dinner until I’m done. |
LOL, I have Bill Evans at the Vanguard coming up next.
A couple of weeks ago I was shopping for a new amp and I encountered my first streamer. The owner, John, was streaming VH-1 Storytellers Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson on some $16k Vandersteins. It was excellent. It was good to get out and listen to music different than what’s in my music collection. That’s why I like to come to this thread. |
I wanted to do a full on comparison, symphony by symphony, VonKarajan v. Bernstein. Just 1 problem- I can’t find my Bernstein set. How a guy could misplace a 9 album record set is beside me. Maybe my doppelgänger stole it? I’ve had this set for ages.
@big_greg I have to agree- Crosby’s album is great.

New phono stage(s) coming Monday for me to listen to and decide on. Very excited.
I need some help deciding what to listen to. Thoughts?
I have rock, classical, jazz, opera, and a bunch of old mom music from my aunt and mother-in-law. I'd be up for buying a new album or two for the occasion.
