Guess im a child of the late 70's and 80's....I was 11 when Ziggy Stardust was recorded in 1972 and grew up on  pop/rock n glam rock, metal,  then punk,  and even New age :)...but i do listen to all recent artists as well..right now listening to Adele's "21".....

Im particularily interested in Choral and Classical these days, particularily a boy choral group called Libera (sometimes listed as St. Phillips Boys ChoirLondon)...awesome when played on lab5's...moves me to a different dimension!!!!!

But i've listened to Chuck B and Buddy holly, and its great. To be honest, ever decade produces some incredible artists and a huge amount of S***.......

HI Paul

I also have a beogram 7000, a rather rare white version in close to mint condition- I love it!

It did come with a MMC2 , but must say the sound improved incredibly when i purchased a SOund Smith MMC1.. worth considering if you have spare cash at any point  :)

Its probably worth me getting Axel to look at my MMC2..

Enjoy!

😂😂, well I'm also listening a lot to newer artist, and agree with your comment. For the classical part I'm into Haendel at the moment, and lately getting interested in a pair of new Mexican Dirigents. Mexico city has one of the worlds best Consert Halls, The Auditorium, 30.000 people seated, and the akustic impresive.

I did also buy the new 180 gram version of Wish You Were Here, my old copy was played to death! Sounds good and very detailed. I have a €99 option (elliptical), two €159 (aluminum cantilever, MMC2 specs) and one €179 (shibata). I might throw up a review sometime, done on Beogram 4000 with the old MMC20-series I have and a Beogram 8002 with the MMCx-series I have. I can also compare with an original MMC2 which is still working flawlessly, a good MMC20S, MMC20E(two in fact) and an MMC20CL 🙂

David, you sholud post a pic of ur white Beogram 7000, and it must sound delicous with an MMC1...perfection!

Soren,

I am a little envoius that you own a Beogram 4000!!! lol.

A Wonderful piece of Beo Engineering, in fact often referred to as over-engineered. and you have an equally impressive colllection of MMC's - im particularly happy to hear thre MMC2 is a good stylus as I will be a proud owner of one within a few days, thanks to Graham:)

I know about the Mexco city auditorium, and  if im not mistaken, Deep Purple did a re-formed gig there last year in 2011 in march or april??

Wow in terms of Handel : "The Messiah" was written by Handel in my city,  Dublin. I adore Handel too.

Can I recommend a piece by another classical composer called Allegri. The piece is called the MISERERE. it is sublime, transcendent, utter perfection. 

It was originally performed only within the Vatican By The Palastrina Boys Choir (some of these unlucky boys were  referred to as  Castrato - a barbaric practice of castrating boys before their voices underwent the change of adolescence in order to preserve its tone and pitch).

it is said that Mozart, hearing the MISERERE as a child age 8 or 9,  wrote it down note for note, from memory,  after listening to a performance.  He said it was the finest piece of choral music ever written. Little annoying Brat by the sound of that story lol!!! Hes lucky he never joined the Palastrina because Mozart, if I remember, was fairly fond of the ladies He escaped the fate of Castration at the hands of the choir-master!

Paul:

I have a Beogram 4000, and my Father has one too; two working examples in good condition in one house 🙂

I prefer a test with rythmic music, though I like some classical pieces. My interest had grown rather unusually from symphonic death metal.

And there are plenty of new releases (and re-releases) to keep you happy :) I am eagerly awaiting Pink Floyd's The Wall on 180gram, due out next month! Enjoy!

I'll be buying this as well.

Bought the Dark Side of the Moon anniversary edition a couple years ago, and was disappointed.  Sibilance.  Then was disappointed to read last fall's re-re-release of Dark Side sounded terrible as well (check user reviews on Amazon).  Apparently the terrible sound was limited to a US pressing, and European pressings were fine.

I did buy the rerelease of Wish You Were Here this month and like it very much.

Has anyone bought the Immersion versions of any of the Floyd rereleases?
