Whats on your turntable tonight?

@mammothguy54

Thanks man. Yea, there are a lot of conflicting info out there regarding tubes and if ‘burn-in’ is a reality with tubes. I’ve always been a solid state guy, so this is my first foray into a power or pre tube amp. One thing is for sure, it seems a lot of things can effect the sounds in regards to ‘tube power’. Little things like playing with dampers, has a pretty big effect.


Just finished with work for the day, so another round of LP’s and see what the night brings, and the days ahead.

Just arrived today....

Arlo Guthrie - Amigo. Reprise 1976

I saw Arlo Guthrie in, I think it was 1971.  He was the opening act.  Next up was Linda Ronstadt (before she became uber-famous).  Next up was Dave Mason.  What a great concert!

My wife has to go to bed early tonight.  No music for me.  
To be continued...

Ludwig Van Beethoven 
Concerto Per Violino E Orchestra 
In Re Mach. Op. 61
Salvatore Accardo
Violin and Conductor 
Orchestra Da Camera Italiana 
fone 2015

Recorded in 2005 all analogue, analogue cutting and one-step production.  This recording captures dynamics and spatial effects very well.  Tones are rich but there’s something odd about the tone, especially the cellos and basses, and maybe a little hard edged treble.  Maybe it is true to the venue, not certain.   Very quiet vinyl.  Sweet rendition of the music but not completely certain yet how I feel about it.  Fortunately it wasn’t super expensive.    Will reevaluate after the 4th or 5th listen.  

Stravinsky conducts Stravinsky - Le Sacre Du Printemps (The Rite Of Spring). Columbia Symphony Orchestra. Columbia Masterworks 1961
