Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site

I was playing today my this week FM recording of Mahler’s “Songs of a Wayfarer” and the “The Song of the Earth” (both life-to-tape by baritone Thomas Hampson, one from San Francisco and another is from Concertgebouw) and I felt that it ever it was good Macondo sound but I was missing my MF “funkiness”.  Last week I decided to “save” my YO186 and I put in there type 45 tube.  Now I felt that it was not enough anymore…

I kind of was looking at my YO186, thinking how much life I can get from it. Theoretically it they run at 8W then might live VERY long. I also have a few of them, though I have no idea how the others will sound. I was contemplating all cons and pros and then it come to me that I was idiot.

How much of that life left?! I might die tomorrow from some kind of stroke – why shall I refuse myself pleasure to hear and to burn the tube that I love?! So, I have made the decision to put in the amps the YO186 and forget it. It is imposable to explain how lucrative and palatable the YoYo tube made the sound of Macondo.  It like the sounds have millions miniature bells and they all ring with different colors…

I decided to celebrate the decision to live permanently with my YoYo tube my playing something where the YoYo would shine in full glory. It was the Mahler "Resurrection" by Ozawa with Saito Kinen Orchestra.  I do not like the performance and the recording as much as I use to like it in past but as a freak show of my YoYo it was beyond my expectations.
