Shostakovich 4th--Listening all analog, Vinyl (records)with Vacuum Tube amplification. I try to keep digital out of my music.

This composer was forced to write his music according to Russian "rules" at the time and he did not like following the rules. When you listen, you can hear how he gave Russian rulers a big F U..... He sneaks in some really cool stuff while sticking it to the Russian leaders.

I'd really love to stick it to Putin.



Had Macintosh equipment way back when
 
Good stuff, you should have kept it! Those vintage Mac amps are worth a pretty penny today...

I'm using Audionote tube amps.


I have Classe amp, pre, equipt from canada and B&W 804s . just two channel
No vinyl any more .I came from 1000 albums.
I came from great audio ,but i think with blue tooth ,pretty good for the money speakers you can get great music. When I was single ,I would place my speakers in the best locations. When your living room is not under your jurisdiction .its different. If I had $ I would have a listening room ,with acoustic walls a nice chair and a refrigerator.On another note a nice pair of Sennheiser head phones ,something to smoke and some " Time Out Of Mind " from Zimmy isa ting of beauty !

Nice ! I owned a Classe solid state amp, it was a beast. I'm also familiar with the 804's, you have some nice gear. When I went to sell the Classe it weighed in at over 90 pounds. (I ran the Classe into a pair of Thiel CS6 which need a lot of power). My current amp only puts out 2 watts per channel and it blows the doors off anything I've ever owned.

I have a room to store vinyl in and have an entire wall of albums, somewhere around 1000 or so. Nothing beats an analog record (not recorded digitally) coming out of an analog system. My kids broke the tip off my Lyra Helicon (record needle) ouch, not a cheap thing to fix.

Yeah, I think the days of high end audio are long gone. Todays technology doesn't sound as good, but its not bad at all. I'm actually surprised to find someone here that knows what Classe and B&W are. There arent many of us around.
