A friendly reminder to all that replace fuses in their equipment to remember to turn off the equipment before replacing the fuse. I do not know why but changing the fuse recently with a different fuse resulted in the new fuse blowing. I would guess it was a current in rush situation but on a solid state piece of equipment. So turn off equipment - replace fuse - turn on equipment.
Today I am again listening to Vivaldi: "The Four Seasons" . The most recorded piece of classical music. Hundreds of versions are available.
Giuliano Carmignola lead solo violin with the Venice Baroque "Orchestra". On the Sony label. Why this version? Vivaldi was a leading experimenter with getting more than pretty notes from the violin. This is not the beautiful but always proper music of Mozart, but fiery, passionate, expressive music.
While listening to Carmignola's version, I was reminded of early Jimi Hendrix. Creating soaring, complex sounds with a minimum of effect pedals, Hendrix instead used extreme settings on the Fender guitar and Marshall amp. Likewise Carmignola creates a multitude of expressive sounds but is doing so on an acoustic instrument using creative bowing and fingering techniques.
On Vivaldi's work, the Synergistic Black fuses in the system are allowing me to hear the individual instruments in a very moving way. I can focus in on an individual supporting instrument or simply listen to the combined sound of all the players. This ability to listen to one or all the musicians is one of the reasons I go to hear live music. But live I have my eyes to assist my ears in determining who is playing what part. At home the Black fuses are replacing my eyes in enhancing the listening of music.
A great weekend for music.
