What are you listening to in 2024 and why might anyone be interested?

I have it and yes I think so (although i got my copy from Japan and it was about £37)

Highlight of this live CD is an extended “Ad Lib On Nippon” but the whole thing’s great.

Definitely worth it then!

Arab Strap - pretty good stuff from the arch miserablists.

That’s what I thought, and whoops…no kitties were involved in the waywardness of my mouse click!

From the Mosaic Joe Henderson box set on CD, great sound.

Anyway, not so much listening as much as watching and listening.

It’s the live stream from the Wacken Metal Festival.

Currently on stage are The Darkness.

On my list for a listen. Fauré’s Violin Sonata No. 1 and Amy Beach’s Romance.

Are you listening on headphones these days with your valve amp you built?

3 Likes

That’s right…. I only ever listen to headphones now. Just upgraded the amp a bit further with some TOTL Jupiter Silver Foil Comet caps… love it :grinning:

I’ve been working through a stack of the Royal Academy of Music Bicentenary Series. Some terrific recordings!

Edit… here it is with the VEGA G2.2!

I have Atom H.E. and headphones. But I’m thinking of active speakers or an amp. I’ve never heard modern valve gear, though I have fond memories of a valve radio with beautiful warm tone.

Beautiful kit you have there.

This one can sound warm if you pick the right tubes but it doesn’t have a big tube sound. The bass is actually very tight and hard hitting with a very big, deep soundstage.

With the current tube load out above, it’s a detail monster but smooth… soundstage like being in the room with artists. Great for classical with a deep stage and easy to pick out individuals playing. I think I would find it hard going back to speakers to be honest.
