What should I be playing my record player through ? to get a good experience what sort of budget should I be looking at for an amp for this thing. I'm not looking for something that will break the record in tonal perfection, but something to help me enjoy the experience of listening to a record, in my head I'm thinking a small classic valve amp to go with that retro record player experience, but I'm no audiophile, so wanted to put the question out to people who are, and know what they are doing, no what is myth/fact. I'm currently plumping for 2.) as I like the idea of being out of the way of the other living room users and just listening to some classic records, so that said I need a small amp for the record player to play through. Past laureates have included Metallica, the Afghan National Institute of Music, Sting, Bob Dylan, Bjork, Sonny Rollins and Ravi Shankar and Dizzy Gillespie.I'm having a bit of an audio nostalgia and decided after seeing a bargin on a Pioneer PL990 turntable to get myself a record player and amp to listen to some of my old records.ġ.) use the pioneer turntable with my pioneer home theater setup amp - it's a good amp and I'm sure would sound greatĢ.) the more fun one, get a new small amp and put the record player and amp in my spare room for listening to music.the old fashioned way. The prize’s stated goal is to “break down musical boundaries by bringing together people from all the different worlds of music”. The Polar Music Prize was established in 1989 by the late Stig Anderson, best known as the manager of Swedish pop superstars ABBA, and selects two or three laureates each year. She also runs two charities helping young musicians. “With her Stradivarius under her chin, Anne-Sophie Mutter is not just one passionate and risk-taking musician - she is also a storyteller.” “For more than 40 years the German violinist has thrilled audiences around the world with her virtuosity and astonishing clarity,” it said. The jury also honoured four-time Grammy Award winning violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter. “The Playing For Change Foundation shows how music can be used to inspire, build bridges between people, create positive change, and conditions for peace.” The jury hailed the global project with 15 music schools and programmes around the world for having “impacted the lives of over 15,000 children and their surrounding communities.” The Playing for Change Foundation was honoured for providing music and arts education to underprivileged children around the world. Grandmaster Flash, who with his Furious Five group were the first hip hop act inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007, said in a statement that winning the Polar Music Prize was “such an honour, because a lot of times in our culture, what we do as DJs gets overlooked”. “His adventures at the turntables – ‘the Adventures of the Wheels of Steel’ – changed the course of popular music.” “Grandmaster Flash is a scientist and a virtuoso who has demonstrated that turntables and mixing consoles can be musical instruments,” the jury said. The 60-year-old is the first hip hop artist to win the award. Grandmaster Flash, whose real name is Joseph Saddler, is best known for his 1982 hit “The Message” about inner city violence, drugs, and poverty, and for developing DJ techniques such as scratching, backspinning and punch phrasing. The winners will each receive one million Swedish kronor (95,700 euros, $108,000) at a gala in Stockholm on June 11 in the presence of King Carl XVI Gustaf. Grandmaster Flash, one of the pioneers of hip hop and DJ music, on Wednesday shared Sweden’s Polar Music Prize with German violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter and US charity Playing for Change Foundation.
