| No binding post a good idea? Think BRF's comment above is something to consider. I am actually about to do this using speaker wire that is unterminated at one end. It avoids the expense of one set of speaker wire terminations, avoids the binding posts, and allows one to upgra... | |
| Most underrated composer of 20th Century? Frogman, good comments and good distinction between underrated and neglected. Elliot Carter stands out to me as someone who is well respected, but is likely to remain neglected,because his music is so inaccessible. I've tried hard on numerous occa... | |
| Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013 Kclone, my thoughts exactly. I'm going to wait for reviews, but the main thing for me will be if Dan Wright offers a mod on this unit. That in my estimation would make this a no brainer, but it could cut into sales on his new DAC, so he may pass o... | |
| Most underrated composer of 20th Century? Newbee, Britten speaks to me as compellingly as Shostakovich, which is saying a lot. I also like Vaughan Williams, but--- just occasionally. The rest are just hit and miss, much like Britten is for you. | |
| Most underrated composer of 20th Century? Schubert, Britten is certainly well known and well respected. So why don't I hear his music unless I cue it up myself. That is my point. Something is wrong here. If he is really what people say he is, why is it that at age 60, I have never once he... | |
| Most underrated composer of 20th Century? I'm going to go in another direction here, My vote for the most underrated composer of the 20th century (maybe all time) is Benjamin Britten. He is well respected, but I think sadly under represented in the concert hall and on classical radio. I f... | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Jordan, You have superb equipment, and zero noise should be the expectation. If I were starting from scratch, knowing what I know now, I'd put together an all coincident system paired with my modwright sony (or an oppo) and be done. But I'm not st... | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Jordan, I feel your pain! Have you discussed this hum issue with Israel? When I first got my CSL, I had hum problems when I engaged the mute switch. As you know, muting prior to turning things off is recommended. It turns out that the CSL has a "v... | |
| Life after ADS Chrshan,I have been and still am an admirer of Kelley's ADS efforts. I still own a pair of 1290s that I use in my HT system. I did not suggest you consider magnepans because of your space limitations, but as Johnny mentioned, they probably capture... | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Jordan, I know your question was directed at Charles, but permit me to offer my observations during burn in. Straight out of the box, the PSVanes were actually somewhat similar to the Shuguangs. I did notice more air, which I suppose could present... | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Charles, I certainly want to give these a try. I never did get a feel for what Vvette was proposing. I don't much care if I buy them from Israel, Rachel, or Vette, as long as the tubes are within the price range we have been discussing and I have ... | |
| Something similar to Mahler Schubert, We are on the same page on so much stuff. Had we agreed on Mahler, I would have concluded you were my long lost twin born of a different mother and separated by 16 years. As for the LvB, those are great performances. 10 on performance, m... | |
| Something similar to Mahler Mapman, The most transcendental music experience I have ever had was a couple years ago in Cleveland for the Mahler III. The only thing that even came close was the first time I heard a live performance of the Bach Johannes Passion. Got to respect... | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 A group buy works for me or Vette can buy them and I will reimburse him. Either way. Let's just get the tubes. | |
| Beethoven Violin Sonatas---favorites and recs Schubert, I can't find the Decca set. Do you have a catalog number and recording date? I do love the DG set with respect to performance. By the way, I picked up the later Milstein Bach set on your recommendation. It is very, very good. Better than... |
