Quote from: Valentino on February 17, 2025, 05:46:33 AMSorry for the delay. Liv Glaser plays Grieg with finesse. These are lyrig pieces not to be hammered like Gilels did.

Something pretty (click to enlarge):

Thorens TD 125 LB (Modification/modernization: Mk. II electronics with new 78 rpm board, stiffened plinth.)
Bokrand AB309 tonearm on Konne Design Corian arm board
Audio-Technica AT33PTG/II cartridge

Thanks for your comments. And is that a new "backdrop" to your record player?

It's not my record player.

Mine is still a standard size TD 125, not Long Base, and the birch ply paneled wall is not going anywhere.

Playing vinyl records is a ritual.

The Now playing thingy is nice, and so is the Mumin cup.
Great recording and remaster, this new release of the Karajan M6. I hope they'll do his studio M9 too in the series. EBS made a video about the making of the M6 release:

I do love your wall by the way. Did you install it yourself?

Do you mean the birch plywood? That's my idea and a good carpenter's work.

Yes.

Cool idea! What did you finish/seal it with?

It's a clear laquer intended for floors, called Trestjerners.
