Here’s one I haven’t listened to in a while.
Kings of Leon, Youth and Young Manhood.
Their best album by far…… in my opinion of course!

What are the speakers please @anon17458420? I have an itch and am looking for stand-mounters to audition. Don’t tell Mrs R…

They are very cheap wharfedale diamond 220s which were fine to try out the second system but am looking for better speakers for that system with great difficulty. They don’t make them anymore and have been replaced by a newer model. Although they maybe available on the Amazon website.

Don’t worry your secret is safe with me :joy:

That was my greatest ever Classical music concert, seeing Carlos Kleiber conduct the LSO at the Royal Festival Hall, standing in at short notice for Karl Bœhm.

The musical press gave such bad reviews of the concert that CK vowed never to conduct in London again, so what had seemed an exciting new partnership between CK and the LSO never went further.

Try to audition a pair of Falcon LS3/5As. I bought a pair recently, to go on the end of a LP12/ARO/rebuilt Troika and a NAIT50 - quite sublime!
