Been decades since I listened to this album. At the time it was one of my favorites while @ U.C. Santa Barbra. (still is??).

Qobuz > Yggy + GS2 > Valhalla 3 > Grado HP100 SE

This one takes me back 30 years. Played it to death and still know every peep and sonic gesture by heart.
I love everything about this album, and considering the fact that Lou really can’t sing makes it even more fantastic that it comes off the way it does. One of those live masterpieces of the 70s, much credited to the band playing. Wagner and Hunter’s interplay is immaculate and together with all the new parts they made for both Sweet Jane and Heroin it really helps send these pieces into the stratosphere. Add one coked up Lou Reed and you effectively end up with Rock n Roll Animal. Fire music.

I’m listening to one of my favourite new artists in Die Wilde Jagd and their new collab with Metropole Orkest Lux Tenera; a vast open sounding mix of ambient with modern classical though on here funnelled through Die Wilde Jagd’s unique glassy and psychedelic filter. The music is grand, enormous, “quiet”, oddly naive melody-wise and then packed full of real instruments like brass, acoustic guitars, pianos, strings and the human voice. Feels like the soundtrack to a great movie.
Went for the AR5000 as it’s been a while.

I just went through his (Bob James) entire collaboration with Earl Klugh - One on One, Cool, Two of a Kind, and with David Sanborn in Double Vision, the other night. Great great albums. I'm also a Bob James fan.

Got that album for Aja, but lately Black Cow and Deacon Blues have become my favs on it. Another great Steely Dan album.

Qobuz (Google Cast) > WiiM Pro Plus (NOS filter) > ARCAM rHead > Sony IER-Z1R
Back at home and immediately drawn back to the rHead. Works great with the IER-Z1Rs with the WiiM Pro Plus allowing me to control its line level with several values between 200 mVrms and 2 Vrms. I really don't get why ARCAM never tried to build on this, despite of the rHead being very positively received at release. Add a nicer volume control, XLR or Pentaconn, juice up some numbers a bit for marketing, done.
