Beethoven - Sonatas Nos. 5 'Spring', 9 'Kreutzer' & 10 (Francescatti, Casadesus)

I digg Discipline to ... 'Elephant talk' ! Not to much a fan of their later works, 90's

something special

have to give Popul Vuh a change on day ... Yeah Fitzcarraldo yeah ... but also Stroczek for me and not to be forgotten; 'My son, my son, what have ye done'. Do yourself a favour and check the last one out (if you haven't). Also David Lynch involved ...

brilliant brilliant first season

Symphonies Nos. 5,6

Wayne Shorter ! One of my absolute favorites !

Tchaikowksy - Symphony No. 4 (Rozhdestvensky, Großes Sinfonieorchester der UdSSR)

Schubert - Trout Quintet (Members of the Budapest String Quartet, Horszowski)

superb, love it

thank you for the usefull information... what do you consider a normal lifeime for a nude diamond stylus (correctly used) ?

27 minutes ... Is that often the case + 18 minutes ? But the music is super super dynamic to (Cesar Franck's Sonata for violin and piano) I bet my stylus has +- 2000 hours on it. From what i read (different people) the playtime (nude diamond stylus) is between 1200 and 3000 hours (big difference !). I don't know. My records are clean and not worn i general.

I have a general question and i hope you can answer it. I am a little worried that my stylus is worn. I played a record with very dynamic passages also at the inner grooves and heared distorted sibilance and some muddy sound in the mid-range. I read that this can happen also with new stylus also if this is well adjusted so i am sceptical about the needle been completely worn out. What are your experiences ? Have you've experienced similar things with extreem dynamic passages at the inner grooves ?
