| Can anyone tell me about CD demagnatizers? Aluminium foil is the cheapest!! Close to nothing.Fold a piece big enough to put the CD in between and slide one hand over the foil. It's so simple you won't believe but it really works. The aluminium just takes the static charge away - nothing el... | |
| vocal music for a newbie Beethovens 9th certainly isn't the best starter for getting into vocal music! But if you liked it I suggest you go to Brahms EIN DEUTSCHES REQUIEM next. Try the Robert Shaw recording. Then try the Passions by Bach: St. Matthew with Ennoch Guttenbe... | |
| A tubes vs. Solid State question. PEACE, folks!Avguygeorge named the habit "my is the best, the biggest" and so forth. That's crap. I was happy with SS gear for years and years until I came across that McIntosh tube amp. Well, I was lost the moment I auditioned it for just a coupl... | |
| recommended versions of Beethoven symphonies? IF YOU CAN GET IT: the early Karajan on vinyl. The by far best recording of the so often played 5th is Carlos Kleiber with the VPOGood luck! | |
| SEPT 11? I was on top of the WTC in August 2001 and vowed to come back to this unique place.... I still cannot come to terms with what happend. On 9/11 I will play Johannes Brahms "A German Requiem" and will think of all who died and suffered so much.Love ... | |
| An upfront and intimate player You are describing something which WADIA's philosophy might be able to deliver. The DigiMaster filter really does the trick when it comes to music rather than to sound. See their webpage www.wadia.comGood luck! | |
| Tube Amp Ventilation? I use the Salamanders - WITHOUT sides and doors, and I still put my McIntosh MC2000 on top of a "bridge"-shelf as they call it, to let it breathe. What's wrong with showing off the tubes - esp. in the dark? :-)Good luck! | |
| Is this the normal way business is handled? Even worse! I had agreed on a deal of a CD-Transport/DAC unit. The seller told me he was glad to sell it as a pair and glad that it would go into good hands and all. Then, while I was arranging money transfer, he told me that somebody else had bou... | |
| Best Looking components / your vote please McIntosh MC2000 Millennium tube amplifier! Especially in the dark with the VUs switched off! And then the sound of it....! | |
| Best Fanfare? Ozawa with Boston Symphony!I heard it live in Tanglewood and the CD transports much of this unique reading of that piece! | |
| Calling Wadia 27 owners I'll send you the settings via e-mail in an Excel file.Good luck! | |
| AA Capitole Mk II - what the evaluaions brought? I agree with "Artistic Audio": the Capitole is one excellent player. The WADIA 270/27ix is a different story, though! of course the price for the WADIAs is accordingly high, so it is a matter of budget in the end if you go for a one box unit or fo... | |
| What is the best Beatle Song Strawberry Fields For Ever surely is the most sophisticated and maybe the "best" song they did but I always find that different songs are my favourites in different moods. I think that was one of the Beatles' mysteries that they had something for ... | |
| Montreal Symphony "Dutoit quits after accusations" says the July issue of GRAMMOPHONE.If you want I e-mail you the full article.I think this is really a shame. Dutoit was one of the greatest with that orchestra. His Rite Of Spring recording with MSO for me is by fa... | |
| Diana Krall - What is your favorite CD of hers? All of her CDs are mediocre compared to her live appearance! Absolutely stunning on stage!Her last CD is probably the one coming close.I wonder is there any recording of "A Case of You"out there except on the DVD from her Paris concert???Thanks |
