Sunday evening. Time to wash my socks.

This photo should come with a trigger warning. Not for discussion here but that speaker company has had a rough week.

As well as the Focus gig, way back in ‘72, I also saw Jan Akkerman, at a small local venue about 10 years ago.
He was brilliant.
An album of his which I highly recommend (if you can find a copy) is ‘10,000 Clowns on a Rainy Day’.
It’s a live album.
I have it on double CD.
The playing, and recording quality, are both superb.

Edit: This is the album

I will be in the lookout for 10,000 Clowns... Thanks.

I am listening to it now, thank you both!

Yeah. Eric certainly stepped on his genitalia.


And now for something completely different...

Tonight's Jazz recommendation(s). I was torn as to which, but thought WTH, just do them both.

Two Aegirs are better than one — at least to me. Ended up returning the Aegir 2 and getting another OG Aegir to run balanced as monoblocks. The speakers are liking the additional power.

Nice! I bet they do!!!

Sweet set up!

Aegir and the DNA-1 doing that David & Goliath thing!

Just Google "tekton suing reviewers" and you can see what both sides have to say. I would rather not see this dredged up here. Too much drama.

Jesus, anyone that's ASR's enemy is a hero.

Way too much power is to given online Yahoo's (Gulliver's Travels).

Some of them will find something to say to trigger attention.

If I needed new speakers, Tekton would be the first place I would look.

Do a search on YouTube. Lots to see.

To calibrate sound reproduction hearing attended a live performance of Gustav Holst’s The Planets this afternoon. Recording here:

Thanks! I’ve had the DNA-1 for over 25 years. It’s a little noisy — old caps — but still makes music. Might send it to Steve McCormack some day for an upgrade. In the meantime, though, the Aegirs are remarkably good and these speakers don’t need that DNA-1 power.

He's still around. Lives in Vista, if I recall.

Unfortunately, there's a little more to it than that. A lot of the videos have already been taken down, but it was pretty ugly.
