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 the following album: Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (1975)
"Wish You Were Here" is Pink Floyd's mournful 1975 tribute—mourning founding member Syd Barrett's mental deterioration while critiquing music industry soullessness. The title track aches with loss. "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" stretches across nine parts of gorgeous, melancholic grandeur. This is Floyd's most emotionally direct statement—less conceptual than "Dark Side," more personal and devastating. Absolutely heartbreaking beauty.
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.
