About this Event
Join us for a listening session where you will experience the warmth and depth of vinyl records through a meticulously curated stereo system. Each listening session will last for 1.5 hours, during which we'll be playing a selected album on vinyl, in full, from start to finish.
For this session we'll be listening to: Lauryn Hill - The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill (1998)
"The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" is Hill's staggering 1998 solo debut—hip-hop, R&B, reggae, and soul fused into intimate confession. Post-Fugees, Hill revealed her full genius: singing, rapping, producing, arranging with unprecedented vision. "Doo Wop (That Thing)" topped charts while teaching hard truths. "Ex-Factor" aches eternally. This swept the Grammys, sold millions, and remains singular—raw vulnerability wrapped in flawless musicianship. Absolutely untouchable.
A little bit about our carefully crafted stereosystem...
- At the heart of our setup is a vintage Thorens TD160 MKII turntable, renowned for its precision and clarity. This Swiss-made classic brings out the nuances in every groove, faithfully reproducing the artist's intent.
- Powering our system is the legendary McIntosh MC275 vacuum tube amplifier. This audiophile favorite delivers rich, dynamic sound with a touch of tube warmth that perfectly complements vinyl playback.
- For speakers, we alternate between two exceptional pairs. Our vintage Pioneer Exclusive (TAD) speakers from the 1970s offer a glimpse into the golden age of hi-fi, with their detailed and expansive soundstage. Complementing these are the modern Zu Soul 6 speakers, built right here in Utah and known for their efficiency and lifelike presentation, bringing a contemporary edge to our listening experience.
