| Fed up with people making noise at classical shows Rcprince. You are correct, we all want to see expansion of audience, and I don't think anyone seriously wants them run out of the hall, electrocuted, or doused with a bucket of paint. Sneezing and coughing, while annoying, is actually decreasing n... | |
| Upgrading Fuses I've had the Audio Magic fuses in my Magnepan 3.7's for about a week now. They gave me an immediate and obvious reduction in grain. Very nice! Next up, fuses for my Cary amps and ModWright Sony. | |
| Fed up with people making noise at classical shows People go to performances of classical music for a variety of reasons. Many of us are very serious about music and Devilboy's comment regarding the emotional investment is right on target. We are fully absorbed by the music on an emotional and int... | |
| Fed up with people making noise at classical shows Maybe I just want to hear the music. I expect the Dawg pound or the black hole to be an anything goes venue. What is OK in a football stadium isn't necessarily OK elsewhere. Most places have expectations with respect to appropriate behavior. There... | |
| Fed up with people making noise at classical shows Rdavwhitaker, I've seen the same thing. Standing O's for pedestrian performances week after week. CEO's who fire music directors who resist programing Beethoven every week in hopes of drawing in huge numbers of newbies so they can clap after every... | |
| Fed up with people making noise at classical shows You, sir, have opened a can of worms. In Indianapolis, we have over the last few years had a steady increase in people clapping at the end of each movement. If that is not bad enough, we had people applauding twice during a minuet and trio, prompt... | |
| Choices for speaker 2' from back wall Dali Helicons can be used close to the wall even though they are rear ported. That is an intended feature of their design, and I have heard them 2' out. They sound fine. Otherwise, sealed designs are good, but the choices are limited. | |
| ever been duped ordering "new" CDs on Amazon? I have never had this happen. I have had new cd's shipped instead of the used ones I have ordered. I probably buy 5-8 cd's per month and I have never seen this. I'd leave bad feedback. What a pain. | |
| Dali 400mkii or 800mkii? Bigkidz,You are correct on the congestion. For what its worth, at some point I may pick up a pair of used 400's for my home theater. I really did like them, but at full retail they are no where near the speaker the Magnepan 3.7's are, which is wha... | |
| Dali 400mkii or 800mkii? I auditioned the 400MKII's about a year ago. They struck me as being lovely speakers excelling at reproduction of voices. I thought they would be ideal for opera lovers. Very good with orchestral music, but they did tend to congest at higher volum... | |
| Trying to ID this peice of classical The audiogon version of "Name that tune." Sounds like fun. | |
| Trying to ID this peice of classical Almarg, I would have bet good money it was one of Schubert's chamber works. Fortunately, it didn't take long to scan through his 2 trios, and once I ruled out LvB, Brahms was my next stop. I listen to the Schubert, LvB, and Brahms piano trios the ... | |
| Trying to ID this peice of classical What do I win? Its Brahms! Piano trio in B major Opus 8. 2nd movement Scherzo! | |
| Trying to ID this peice of classical This is not Vivaldi. My first thought was Schubert, maybe LvB. Very, very, very familiar. | |
| Trying to ID this peice of classical This is definitely familiar. Its going to take a while to place it. It will come to me eventually. |
