What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XIV)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 31 December 2017
On the eve of a new year, it's time for a new thread.
Last year's thread can be found here:
Herbert von Karajan - Beethoven Symphony 9
I'm really getting into the spirit of things now. This really takes me back to my yoof, great stuff!!
Was going to dust my speakers this morning but thought it was easier to just play this! Martin Nonstatic Ligand on Tidal
Jimi Hendrix - Valleys Of Neptune, not a diehard Hendrix fan so I can enjoy these posthumous releases
Earlier this morning...
Great...
If you dig Keith Jarrett solo, you most probably also like this...
Vinyl released 1969 - A revolutionary classic of soul music, four string-drenched epics. ????
Rick Wakeman - The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table - vinyl
Now I have figured out how to get the speakers properly positioned, the stereo imaging is getting better and better. I sort of believed that Naim doesn’t give very good imaging because that what others had said. I sit opposite the left speaker because of our large fireplace and the right speaker seemed dead. Quite contrary like it gets dramatically better if I move the right speaker further right (now 2260mm between centres. The other way was even worse.
It certainly brings out all the sound effects in this album. It’s a bit of fun with sounds.
