Whats on your turntable tonight?

the Mahler backstory as it were ;


@tvad …could be that i got lucky…. A friend with a superb system circa 1983 or so…Infinity RS ( model down from IRS ), SOTA, Souther, Dynavector, CJ Premier… also a renowned music teacher in Mid Ohio..treated me to Mahler preconcert lecture / symphony in Cleveland …

Part of the lecture ( i may have inhaled ) focused on the selection of material for the death blows…. Leather over wood with a massive wood mallet ( think sledgehammer )….

Amazing, near religious event….

Now is the SOTA at that time Infinity servo woofer cabinet capable of slam and nuance ?….. Better listener for sure…

and fun.

anyone here have any of Lederman’s DirectGrace discs ?

@tomic601

I have been sampling various Mahler No. 6 versions on Qobuz…

Berlin is winning so far….

Not really a surprised Jim. But….did you check-out the Sony remaster of Szell and the Clevelanders? Pretty good.

Who was the conductor of the Berlin 6th you like?
