I think that the tube amplifier " PrimaLuna " and the open baffle are a very good combination.

The whole country of Italy is under quarantine since yesterday. Public life is no longer taking place. Night curfews, borders with neighbouring countries are closed. Nearly 10,000 infected and over 1,000 dead. Germany currently : almost 1,000 infected and only 3 dead .The German government is taking all possible precautionary measures to prevent a pandemic.The spread of the virus obviously depends on general medical structures and care. Nevertheless, nobody can predict more precise estimates

There are also incredibly good musicians in Scandinavia, one of whom is called "Jan Garbarek". His album " 12 moons" is a "must have" for every jazz lover

I have the entire collection of" Supertramp " at home. There is hardly a rock band that fascinates me as much. The lyrics, voices, compositions remain unique and remain unforgettable.

We should call this thread "Genesis Thread" from now on...
I have the first two solo albums of Peter Garbriel as the first pressing " Label Charisma Records " in 1977 and his second album " Label Virgin Charisma "from 1978.
I heard these two albums more often than my entire Genesis record collection-

Not all CD players are old fashioned against streaming and flac's . Well, there are also exceptions, SACD players with external 2 Bits DAC's for example .
Regardless of the price range, you can't go wrong with a used Marantz CD player..........

You know I was joking with that.
Believe that's when I first responded to the thread because of the fun or not attitude displayed about that by others ignorant of it!!
Seriously... it was your knowledge of all of this put into action!
Yeah, I know, I got it that way.

I haven't been following it too closely ... there are at least two cases in my town though.
Twitter was ablaze with criticism of President Trump for saying that the death rate was 1% folks on twitter are saying it's four percent (based on USA statistics). Given the varying medical facilities, procedures, and restrictions, I wonder how to determine an accurate "overall" fatality rate or if that is even possible or applicable?
Given the numbers posted above, 1170 cases in Germany and only two deaths isn't 4%
can we compare or it silly to even try?
every year more people in Germany die of an ordinary flu. One should relativize the virus, but what makes it so dangerous we do not know yet, worldwide researchers are working on vaccines. I hope they have rapid results.

So far the only effect on me from this Corona virus is low bank interest. But there could be a multitude of issues forthcoming.

In Germany there has been no interest on bank balances for a long time. Thanks to the monetary policy of the ECB, it is better to spend it .

This is not directed to you but is this shocking in any manner?
We can clearly see what is happening in other countries and it will happen here. Contrary to what we are told, we are not special and in fact we are collectively relatively lazy and ignorant. Watch the BBC, Canadian new, Australian news, or Al Jazeera if you want a perspective from the outside.
Cases are spiking here as some testing is now occurring, expect the numbers to rise very rapidly. I see 15,000 new cases worldwide since Friday on the Johns Hopkins site. 2.5 days.
It is not shocking, it was to be expected and we will probably reach similar dimensions as the "SARS" virus in 2003.

Gary in my post is just a local dude who's been playing for prolly 50 years. He's just a good friend and the leader of the pack. They're all pushing 60 and have been playing together since they were kids. Every cover of everything they do is great. No improv just the original song the way it was recorded. They do run doin their thang once in a while though. All the guys that are there are the same way. The others play in other central Ohio groups. The bass man played around for a while in Foghat. They rythmn dude also plays keyboards. His son plays the drums. Gary is just a mailman getting ready to retire. The real treat is when this dude who used to play drums w/Black Label Society & Zakk Wylde shows up. He worked their tours and sat in at times. That dude can git it. He just flops down and makes a cheap kit sound great. He NEVER misses. Twice I've thought he was gonna miss but both times he nailed it. He looks at me and we both laff. He's a tease! lol When Gary retires I'm sure they'll all get together and play more. Just a nice time with like minded people. Typical bar out front w/some tables & shuffleboard then they have a big back room w/a bar and tables and chairs. It's laid back and just lots of good people.
so this is what it looks like ........

Must have been the "secret sauce"
I was surprised when my Fortes started to sound even more full a few months in. Did not do the "break in" things like running them non-stop for a few days. So it must have been at a certain point a hundred or so hours in.
Enjoy!!
Yes....Thanx...I´ll do
Noooooooo, it´s nooooot the german wonderfluid ......
...but there is so much copper used in the external crossovers , that needed approx. 200 / 300 hours of operation to burn it in.
...but it also requires a lot of patience if you want to experience how the sound characteristics change positively over time

You sure have a lot of the favorite musicians of mine that I listened to on "Jazz Flavors" a Sunday evening radio show here long ago. That's how I got my exposure to the genre.
I put Al Jarreau's voice up there with the greats Sinatra, Cole, Mathis..........
These artists will all live forever and ever and inspire us with their music..........
