Queen

Hi,

Today my eldest son and myself had the opportunity to attend the latest ‘Linn Lounge’ series of musical documentaries, this time ‘The History of Queen’, which was held at Audiovisionaries LLC, one of our local partners, and Linn’s exclusive dealer in Puerto Rico. The system used for the musical presentation was Linn’s newest digital streamer, the Selekt DSM, driving a pair of Linn Exakt Akudorik active speakers.

Mike O’Rouke, Linn’s Sales Manager for the United States, gave us an entertaining and delightful presentation of Queen’s history providing us with some historical innards of Queen’s most famous songs.

As always the musical selection and historical background details were amazing, The playlist was:

  • We Will Rock You (my High School Senior Class theme back in 1979-80!!)
  • Killer Queen
  • Bohemian Rhapsody
  • Another One Bites the Dust (which when played backwards suggest smoking a well known herb!)
  • Crazy Little Thing Called Love
  • Under Pressure
  • A Kind of Magic (Highlander’s movie Theme)

All tracks played were in original master tape quality (at least 96Khz/24bit format FLAC files) and the system sounded amazing. Several times we were given the choice to select which songs to play and believe it or not kids were the ones deciding which songs to play. In my words ‘Proper Parenting!’. The session lasted an hour and as always food and drinks were made available to all.

Kudos to Audiovisionaries and Linn for such enjoyable evening!!!

Enjoy,

Vic
