Whats on your turntable tonight?


For me its the first or very early LP's of:
Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South"
Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue
Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer"
and,
Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO

I've been streaming the Respighi Pines of Rome James, very enjoyable. It doesn't hurt that it plays to the strengths of my new (to me) Thiel 3.6 speakers. The guy I bought them from is into classical and has been turning me on to some stuff also. I bet that recording is a lot of fun on the Klipschorns.

Little Feat-Time Loves A Hero 2018 Speakers Corner RE

Without getting into a long, wordy review of the Zus, I'll touch on what I perceive as the finer points of my findings.

The speakers that I have owned or auditioned in my return to hifi in the last few years have been normal efficiency and pretty neutral-ADS, Audiovector, B&W, Maggies...These Souls are anything but normal or neutral! Resolution is like nothing I've heard. Like all the reviews say, they are "lively" without being harsh or fatiguing. Only downside I can find so far is that they do tend to make me not want to listen to some of my older, original pressings and favor audiophile remasters.

The Small Faces - S/T (1966 Decca) from the pile from Germany. Gave them all a US clean today.
