I'd say I've listened to about 5% of it since 2010.

I'm a BIG fan!

Holst / Sir Adrian Boult, New Philharmonia Orchestra, With Chorus ‎– The Planets

Put this on to see how the amp would handle Mars, it did fine.

But Venus showed me that the new tweeter not as 'expressive' as the original in other box.

How much break-in time do tweets need?

[richidoo]

100 hours should get most of it. If still not right, the replacement tweeter has too different parameters from the original.

"The Planets" is so much fun, and so many great versions recorded. If you like Holst, check out his First and Second Suites for Military Band. That was a game changer for concert band music, like Bird was to swing.

Thanks Rich.

Hank Mobley: Workout

  Blue Note 180g LP

I heard about the Acoustic Sounds sale on 45RPM Blue Note albums and figured it was time to revisit some of my Blue Note collection. I have a number of them on heavy (180g?) vinyl with note readily visible makings as to who exactly did the repressings (not that they really matters from a listening perspective)
