Listening to the first vinyl-disc 💫

 


A rather cryptic and (intentionally) inaccurate and misleading title: I'm listening to the first vinyl record since the recent completion and re-installation of the Goto system... well: clearly it's not the "first record I've listened to" ever, but the first on the renovated system... 

… and, yes! 

It's as if it were the first ever, which in reality is true and it's not true! 




Enjoying Audio Consulting “Silver Rock”, handmade power-amp using a ‘40s Kauffman 5998 (yes, it’s same amp which I was using with 2W p.c. ‘65 Telefunken 6080: it’s switchable to different double triodes with proper filament voltage toggle-switch) and Misho’s Wooden Phono Stage… ~ 120 dB efficiency, 4 W per channel and not a buzz and a dynamics hard to believe.

The system is truly majestic in sound.






Thanks to my pal Francesco (The Watchmaker) for this amazing little jewel.





The truth is that everything sounds like it’s... Christmas Day 🎄☺️😉 and you feel inexplicably optimistic and pretty stupidly fine, immersed in something so sincere, clean and natural and “heartwarming beautiful".

In a few words: the first vinyl disc I listened to sounded brand-new-like… and the others which followed, too!
