Well, summer's officially here at last (ignore the weather, it's just a
glitch) - tonite is the First Night Of The Proms! So all of you who like pop
music and have systems good enough can tune in and enjoy the experience of a
'real live event' without the hassle and expense of actually attending it!!
;-)

(Although I have to say it, if my kit sounded as bad as the PA'd 'live'
event that I experienced at the RAH a few weeks back it would be out on the
back lawn in a heap, by now......)

And hopefully on DAB (T_DAB, T_DVB and S-DVB) it will be broadcast
uncompressed. I know a load of broadcasts from there sound pretty
dire, but the Beeb do seem to pull the stops out for the proms.

I know what you mean. A few years back I wnet to an open air classical
concert at a nearby country house, expecting to treat my ears to real live
instruments. I was gob smacked to see the entire orchestra mic up ( with
what looked like SM58s) and fed to an atrocious pair of bass bins and horns
on either side of the stage. it sounded absolutely awful. What a waste.

Is this Slatkin's first return since 2001? A few memories for him if
it is.

I think so - too dim-witted to be paying attention the other day!

I think it was on the radio (in the background, not listening too closely -
organ music is commonplace in this household as I can't get enough of it)
and then I heard an announcement mentioning something about the restoration
being finished!

If the Prom is opening with Bach's Toc & Fug on it we all need to be in our
seats a bit sharpish! (And me getting truly ****e FM reception today!!!)

I'm glad I made my mega subwoofer a few months ago. Not one of those
honking tuned port jobs, but a seriously low Fs driver in a huge
(concrete cupboard) sealed box. This is what I made it for.
