BEETHOVEN'S VIOLIN CONCERTO (OP.61)

Let's take a break from all the hardware and focus on the software. After all, the hardware is the slave to the software. It is sad but true, many people have fallen by the wayside and become enslaved to their equipment; choosing to play the same piece of music over and over again in the pursuit of audiophilia*

I love violin concertos and the Beethoven is my favourite. Of the 8 versions I have, this is the one I return to over and over again. There is no doubt in my mind that Jascha Heifetz is the greatest violinist of the 20th century. His technique is flawless and that warm, full bodied plus fluid tonality has never been reproduced by anybody else. If you love violin music, you owe it to yourself to check out Heifetz and the Beethoven Violin Concerto. I thank God I managed to purchase this wonderful LP (complete with extensive notes on Heifetz) from ebay for USD5.

*Audiophilia

My definition for a group of people obsessed with getting their setup to reproduce the last iota of irrelevant detail (e.g. timpani player whom by accident released some gas while striking his timpani during the fortissimo).

MY SETUP

First and foremost, I am very happy to say that I concluded two deals on Saturday. I hope the gentlemen are finding great satisfaction from the (Frank) Pipit 2 & (Rogers) AB-1. THANK YOU ! A few words on my humble setup(s): AV - NAD 3020, Astro Decoder & No brand paper cone speakers. I can only say that the NAD 3020 is a very decent amp. If you could find one in great working condition below RM500, buy it! It has a good phonostage as well. Bedroom - Spendor LS3/5A (11 ohms), Marantz CD53, Arcam Alpha (1) & Mogami cabling. The LS3/5A is very special and the Arcam manages to tame the slight brightness of the CD53. Bought the Arcam (made in England) for RM430. A bargain if you ask me. Also, if you are in Singapore, check out Mogami speaker cables. Real value for money. Listening room - Spendor SP1/2, Naim Nait 1, Rega Planar 3 with AT95e cartridge & Pioneer DVD393s player. Naim Naca 5 speaker cables. Simple setup with PRAT. I really love the Naim Nait 1. A true collectors item! Oh, I also have an Audio Note Soro SE in reserve. Also, if you are looking for a cheap & good source for CDs, check out the Pioneer DVD393s. Warm & smooth sounding. Bought it in SS2 a few months back for RM250. Take Care & have a nice day. P/S: If you like my blog, tell your friends about it ok :)
