@tgilb,
A worthwhile pursuit. A nice way to get it would be part of the box with 5 early albums in it. They are favorites.

@bkeske, ...listen to Hilary Hahn play The Lark Ascending. I believe my favorite version oh yes it’s wonderful, i hadn’t really heard that line about her (not saying much - i don’t really keep up on classical intelligence or criticism) and it never would have crossed my mind about any of her music that I’ve heard. I mean, she plays as if she’s playing for me. Really. That said, I think this is my favorite "Lark Ascending": https://www.discogs.com/Vaughan-Williams-Moeran-Delius-Elgar-Holst-Tasmin-Little-BBC-Philharmonic-Si... Not sure I can say why except that maybe its just simple. Pure. Superb. |
"He rises and begins to round, he drops the silver chain of sound ... and ever winging up and up, Our valley in his golden cup, And he with wine which overflows to lift us with him as he goes. Til lost on his aerial rings, In light, and then the fancy sings." lines by George Meredith added by Vaughan Williams as preface to his score of "The Lark Ascending" It's a soft warm summer evening here in the Pacific Northwest and the music suits it fine. |
@tgilb, Thank you for that. Appreciate it. I think it will be one for just the streamer ------- Pat Metheny First Circle Twice The Doors Eponymous Haydn Symphony in G Major, No. 94 ("Surprise") Symphony in D Major, No. 96 ("The Miracle") Neville Marriner Academy of St. Martin in the Fields Philips early 80s re-issue very nice indeed |
Guess i had enough if I'm recommending records like that sorry... I left the tubes to warm up while I'm down the corner here mostly wondering why i can work up so little interest in the basketball A Beethoven sonata came in the mail today - betting the bartender here it will sound better than the squawking pop on his system |

@slaw @boxer12 One is a 12’ from phono to sub, the other is a 1M from sub to amp. You're running your analogue signal from your phono stage straight to your subwoofer before it goes to a pre-amp or integrated amp? Forgive my lack of sufficient experience with good stereos but i don't understand how that could possibly not degrade your signal before it gets to your amp. Seems like it might also challenge different timing elements. Whats in your subwoofer? Class C amplifier(s)? I'm scratching my head. |
