what are you listening to?

with external antenna...no doubt...
i think i will really use the tuner...
the forwarding company said i needed to repackage the tuner....at 189 dollars....or they would not be responsible for damage....i declined...and reminded them it made it to miami via ups without issue....
not first time i heard that one...i cant ever remember damage ... but they have lost 2 packages over the years ... one was a pl400...i was reimbursed....
we shall see...hope they dont bust it up....
 
A recording of Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade. It's one of a number of recordings I copied from DAT to Mobile Fidelity gold CDs years back for the Music Department. Vahktang Jordania, a Russian conductor who defected and became the Conductor/Artistic Director for the Chattanooga Symphony Orchestra in the late 80s and early 90s, donated these recordings to the UTC Music Department in 2005, shortly before his death. After his time in Chattanooga, he went back to the Soviet Union as a guest conductor for the Russian Federal Orchestra, among many other conducting positions worldwide. All of these master recordings came from his performances with the RFO.
 
I know we have some Simon Posford (Shpongle, Hallucinogen, Younger Brother) aficionados here on the Forum. I had pre-ordered the Hallucinogen ReMaster set of 4 albums back in early May, and it was just mailed out. With the purchase you get the digital download, and that was just made available today. First listen of the digital versions through the WOPL’d 700b and the LaScalas, sounds mighty fine !!!! I have been collecting vinyl since 1964 and am really looking forward to giving these newly remastered versions of Twisted (1995) 2LP’s and The Lone Deranger (1997) 2LP’s a listen. I listen to all different types of music, and while Posford’s music is not for everyone, I love it. The vinyl recordings of any of his music are quite hard to find and very expensive when you do. This was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. Will repost a review when I receive the vinyl, but the digital music is great!

As an addendum to my previous post, the more I listened to the digital version of this remastered Hallucinogen set, I found that the sound stage on many tracks was 270° which is amazing. Any of Posfords work always has a great sound stage, but this seems to be some new engineering in the remastering. Not only a full stereo front L, R, and center soundstage, but pretty impressive direct left, direct right, almost over my shoulder effects. Very enjoyable. Was shipped out of Chobham, UK on Saturday. I run my digital music through a Schiit Gungnir DAC and while the music sounds amazing, the vinyl always sounds richer…..can’t wait to hear the vinyl.

I agree, Simon's music isn't for everybody ( don't get that) but i do indeed love every bit of it. Always well engineered and mastered. Never heard a bad Posford track... bout the time I think the horns can handle anything at 120 db plus I put on "God Particle"....the explosion and subsequent diffusion has taken more woofs than anything...

Ahhhhh, "The God Particle"
As Raja Ram said " I would say that Shpongle is a drug that's administered through the ears"
My "baby horns" sure make it an enjoyable listen,....... always :D.
You would really enjoy this new mastering Lee.
