Post Subject: "Absolute tone" - I was missing that SoundPosted by Romy the Cat on: 7/28/2007

My playback was in “distraction mode” for a few weeks. The electricity is horrible nowadays, summer… The arrival of APS made me to reposition all components disconnect everything and the failure of the APS so far to do what I want it to do did not encouraged me to put all my playback back together. So, all my cap was sitting “as is”, disconnected, and have been listening for the shitty Denon table-radio driving tiny Mission speakers…

Eventually I got sick from it and put today Milq and Macondo back to service. Hm, it looks like the efforts were not as stupid as always assume. Although the electricity is still not good but it is still a different sound all-together…

I got a few new recordings today: the wonderful Japanese pressing of Knappertsbusch’s Bruckner 7 only not with Weiner but with Kolner Rundfunk from 1963. The Bruckner and Macondo is a very different subject, I have feeling that Macondo even made me to “get” Bruckner.  I listened a few other things but what actually was most thrilling experience was Joseph Schmidt album, the opera and operetta fragments. It hardly imaginable that I need all Macondo’s capacity to play recordings from 30s. Think again.
