| Most achingly-beautiful music Bach Johannes Passion, No. 7. Von dem Stricken meiner Sünden, and No. 9. Ich folge dir gleichfalls', Mahler, Sympony no. 2. IV. Urlicht, | |
| Recent Used Finds Classical Eterna was the state owned LP label of the now difunct socialist East Germany (DDR). | |
| Wilson Benesch Discovery VS Proac D38 Oh, my dream is to replace one day my Wilson Benesch Act One with a Proac Response 4 or D80. Wilson is an OK speaker, and with tubes you could get fairly nice soundprint. But Proac to my ears is the music itself. Of course, I think, synergy betwee... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Proac Response4 driven by top of the line NAIM electronics (CDS3-Naim 555 and 552 and 555 powersupply). | |
| Wilson Benesch Discovery VS Proac D38 If you like proac sound, you likely wont like the cooler and leaner WB sound. Go back to Proac. But the point is that itt would be tricky. D38 is fairly big loudspeaker. But, a warmer, nicer more musical sound than the WB. | |
| Nordost Red Dawn to ValKYRJA The higher you go the better bass you have within the Nordost line. But I would go for the new Nordost line, which is arguably better than the older line. None the less, even Valhalla is on the lean side of the neutral. I cheaper cable not made by... | |
| Next on the list for Mahler.... I would add on the list the cycle of songs Des Knaben Wunderhorn. I think, one of the best version is Szell, Schwarzkopf, Diskau and Cleveland SO. This cycle of songs is a key to understand motives of Mahler, and helps to understand also its first... | |
| Nice looking - for living room? One box solution: new naim one box gear (avi?), mated with a small Proac loudspeaker. Nice sound, relatively cheap, small, easy to use. | |
| cable upgrades , real or rip off I went through a cycle of investing heavily into cables, and deinvesting. I had a 10.000 usd value of cable system (Nordost valhalla ic and pc, eldrod pcs, siltech lsc). Now I had cables made of solid core copper leads as pc and ic and goertz vera... | |
| Which Vivaldi Four Seasons CD to buy??? Hi, there is a plenty of interesting recording around. This is probably the most recorded piece of music. I would go for one of the following ones,: Harnoncourt, Teldec, or Parrott, Virgo Veritas, or Fabio Biondi. Harnoncourt version was probably ... | |
| Is it Audio, or is it Art? Small volume boutique producers of luxury goods try to make their own market niche working heavily to achieve a distinct coloration of sonic soundprint - to rationalise investment within the domain of audio- and an individual visual statement to d... | |
| Best Amp Martin Logan Summit I jave heard it with VAC Phi Beta. Fantastic. Of course, what is nice for me, maybe a coloured and distorted sound for you. | |
| Nuforce Sorry for the confusion. The price bracket I meant is where the Linn Klimax Chakra-ML 431 is. So about 6-7000 USD. We used an ML 39 and a TACT 2.0 as cd player and preamp. | |
| Nuforce This weekend with a friend of mine, who is owner of a Nuforce9, we made extensive listening session in my system (see system). I personally think, that the Nuforce9 is as good as any good solid state amplifier in the price bracket and soundprint s... | |
| Do I want a sub with VR-4jr's? It is so difficult to give opinions to somebody, whose listening preferences and the soundprint of his/her system in an unkonwn room is likely different than mine. I have tried recently to complement with a sub my Wilson Benesch Act One speaker, w... |
