I thought it would be interesting to see what we choose to play for our first listen of the day.
Here’s what I started today with:
Interesting idea…
This was my first album today…
I have several complete sets of Bach cantatas on CDs. I have been for a few years listening to one at a time each morning.
Excellent choice.
I have two sets of the cantatas.
For me choosing the first listen of the day takes a few minutes of thought. “How do I want to set the morning’s mood?”
Just sat down in front of the “Big Rig” for first time today:
Via Roon/Qobuz…
[Hat Tip: @terzinator]
I have most of the newer things I’ve acquired on my phone, pretty diverse mixture. I normally put it on shuffle and let it do its thing. For me I find that I latch onto tunes and artist a lot quicker. Every next track is a surprise. Always find myself wanting more.
That will wake you up in the morning. Depending on the time and the morning, I may just hit play on the transport and listen to whatever is sitting in there or stream KEXP into the system.
I often will stream WBGO through Roon. It’s one of my favorite Jazz stations.
I’ll have to check that station out.
After cleaning all my connections and adjusting the absorber tuning rings to @vmax spec., I will play the Octave Records Bach Suites to start, and will add one of the masters’ Volumes SACD later. I am expecting an upgrade in SQ without spending a penny.
How did it work out?
No question these tuning rings work, but it really depends on cables. I think the more expensive cables with better shielding design benefits less, but @vmax likes them a lot on the whisper cables, as well as on AQ Dragon.
The music? The Octave discs never sound better, and even my daughter said there is a “real” improvement.
Not a bad cut on the entire record…!
today was Waltz for Koop
On the best days it’s Nat King Cole
