The first paranoid video is on Telefunken M15a and is grungier than the vinyl black sabbath on Garrard 301 + old SPU ones that will follow

Oh. Amps are 12 watts

While I would absolutely DIE without Mahler(obviously!), the Lalo over on YouTube is impressive too. Thanks for these videos, Ked, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the mighty Altecs

Beethoven’s 5th symphony. Possibly my best video.

it was over 17 mins as there was no logical place to pause. Only split in two as the side gets over.

the double bass section is the best I heard

I’m a big fan of misho’s work. Were you able to compare his different amp options?

the 4w and 12w have a similar sound signature, the 12w has a bit more drive and energy.

War Pigs? Sounds pretty awesome. Is this on the Garrard 301?

yes War pigs. On the telefunken. The first paranoid video on this thread then follows, that’s why you see me excitedly telling Misho to not switch it off as I was in a frenzy by then. Of my videos only these two are telefunken. All classical on Garrard SPU

Garrard SPU rolls it off and LP is very good but less grunge.

Bonzo - how large is his room? Looks pretty big on the videos

yes it is big but I am sitting less than 4m there is lots of space behind me, so at some point I will have to try them pushed back to the wall
