Organizing the November Hifi Show takes a lot out of me physically. It’s mostly my fault because I tend to micro manage every situation. This year I decided to sneak out during the Saturday night revelry to catch up on my sleep. The next morning I decided to tune out and shift my focus on some geeky tinkering. I mounted a vintage long body Koetsu Rosewood Signature I purchased yesterday at the Hifi Show. My eyes not being what they use to be, it took me an hour to set things up. Once I got through the Feickert Alignment Tool, the Hifi News LP, a little azimuth and VTA tweaking, I was ready for some Stacey Kent and oh how glorious she was. Hahahaha…I can hear my Audio buddies snickering at my choice of music. Contrary to the serious enthusiast’s goals, I love coloration. Beautiful coloration! And in typical Koetsu form, there were loads of that wrap-in-my-mother’s-arms warmth oozing out of my speaker. I love this vintage stuff!
Today is the last day of the show. If you’re in the mood for some treasure hunting, be it an LP you’ve been searching for, a vintage amp your dad once owned or replacement for that busted vacuum tube, I suggest you make plans to visit. There is a ton of treasures to be found at the November Hifi Show……….unless I beat you to it. Hahahahahaha
