I hope this is not the start of something..........
« on: December 26, 2011, 12:08:14 pm »
I was alone yesterday morning so I decided to try out the Technics TT I got from Tom.

I connected it to my SO's much-loved 1980 technics amp (25w) and the old Tannoys (60w). Didn't bother with testing speaker placement or anything.

I put on my once-played-only copy of "Evensong for Ash Wednesday" which has the "Pope's secret" Miserere by Allegri, sung by an all-male quartet.

Blew me to bits.

It's not often that something can honestly be described as breathtaking, but I literally had trouble breathing - I have never heard anything like that from a speaker before.

I'd heard a vinyl setup earlier this year twas a Linn, Conrad Johnson and some very expensive Klipsch. I like vinyl for relaxing late night listening. Thats the time I listen to music the most.
