Spirit Torino Valkyria

But it was the only amp used for it at the Spirit Torino booth.
Looking at the picture from CanJam, I think it’s a new amp from Spirit Torino, a more affordable version than Sigfrid (the amp that was designed to drive Valkyria).

In my conversations about amp pairings and options with Andrea he has told me about this new amp. The stripped down version of Sigfrid amp . And it is supposed to have a great synergy ! :)

Yup, it was great. A bit on the darker side (which I believe is mainly attributed to the headphones), but actually in a good way that made the overall sound feel really refined. Kind of hard to describe actually.. But I think someone here said that the overall presentation of the Valkyria reminded them of the OG TOTL Grados (HP1000, PS1, etc.), and I would concur, but improved overall.

My friend had a chance to listen to them for a brief time , was sooo impressed. Incredible stage, saturation and body to the sound that is found in none. I know he changed the pads and had a palladium cable and was blown away by the sound .

Spirit Torino Centauri New Planar Magnetic Headphones


I meant to mention, got to hear these as well. They were very good. A more upbeat and lively sound, was very good with rock.

Desert island recording ...

Sure an unorthodox, re-creational interpretation (it's Pogorelich!), yet a most riveting one.

Pushing piano sonorities and evocative powers to the limit.

It triggers an impossibly broad and contrasting range of emotional reactions, from sheer terror, to transcendent meditational status, to grotesque, sardonic figures, to sparse desolation, to reckless euphoria. A genuinely impressionistic performance.

Not for the faint of heart :guardsman:

Hello all.
Perhaps some of you are aware of this but
I have come across this site. All of Bach, They have videos of their high quality recordings of Bach. You can watch it on their site or on their chanel on YouTube.

Too bad it's not available in audio only. I have written squiring if it is available on audio only. See what they reply.
Enjoy.

Here is the answer I received:

Unfortunately, at this moment we do not offer our recordings via audio streaming services.

The main idea behind the All of Bach project was to create an online streaming platform for video and audio combined. Most of the recordings are live registrations of concerts of the Netherlands Bach Society and we believe that the video images add an extra experience: as if you were present at the concert. That information will be lost if you separate the audio from the images. On top of that, the legal agreements with our musicians prohibit the separation of video and audio.

Since the arrival of our project All of Bach. Our music and recordings can be viewed on our website or Youtube for free.

So I guess we listen and watch ...
