| An observation about "Modern" classical music. Eldartford,"Don't we all narrow our musical choices to stuff we like?"No sir, we don't. The list of music that I didn't especially like until after a considerable investment in multiple hearings, and in some cases, multiple performances, is quite ... | |
| Everything Bach ever wrote Bach Werke Verzeichnis = Register of Bach's works. This was compiled by W. Schmieder, therefore sometimes you hear Schmieder listing instead of BWV. They are equivalent. | |
| An observation about "Modern" classical music. Robm, Robm, Robm!I can't give you details on John Adams creative process, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't involve thin air. Interestingly, I got involved earlier today on another thread when a poster decided to dis Bach's "Opera." As you know, diff... | |
| Everything Bach ever wrote Dmurfet,My apology if I came on a bit too strong in my first post. You may gather that these works are extremely precious and personal to me. I understand they are not everyones cup of tea. If you're listening to Bach that "warbles" like Italian ... | |
| Everything Bach ever wrote Dmurfet, you are killing me. I will let Bach speak for himself from BWV 80.Das Wort sie sollen lassen stahnUnd kein' Dank dazu haben!Sorry, with all due respect, I would point out that Bach's cantatas and Passions were written to the glory of God ... | |
| An observation about "Modern" classical music. Lousyreeds,I moved from Ohio to Indianapolis about 15 years ago. As for the moniker, being a browns fan is a terminal disease, and results in a long, slow, painful death. One does not recover, even by moving to Indianapolis, where the local team i... | |
| An observation about "Modern" classical music. That last post from Lousyreeds cuts to the heart of this issue very nicely, though might be a bit hard on Robm 321.At the outset, let me say that I am not a musician and my last music class was in the 7th grade. My parents weren't interested in se... | |
| buyer beware of late Too bad people have to screw up every good thing. I've been an audiogon member for several years, but I've really only been active for the last year. I've only bought one item, and it was a great transaction. Earlier this year, I almost got scamme... | |
| Review: Audio Mirror D-1 DA converter Sonics1,Just one more thing. When it arrives, be patient with the burn in. What you hear out of the box is nothing like what you hear after 50-100 hrs of burn in. I got the first glimpse of what what coming after about 8hrs, but I played a CD on r... | |
| Review: Audio Mirror D-1 DA converter I bought an AM DAC several months ago. I sent Vlad several e-mails during the ordering process, and he usually got back within a couple days. Hope this works out well for you. It's a wonderful piece! | |
| experience w/ Auralex room treatment I've been using auralex products for about a year. Probably the best $100 I ever spent in terms of bang for the buck. You might want to check out their website. They will do a free room analysis for you and make recommendations on locations for ro... | |
| order of improving sound quality in system? I hate answers like this, but, it depends! I've been doing some upgrading over the last year. I started the upgrade process with some pretty good speakers (magneplanar 1.6 QR) that I was ready to sell because my system sounded pretty awful. Thinki... | |
| Anyone have experience with "Signal Cable" Cables? I have Signal IC's, speaker cables, and Digital. Very nice improvment over my old stuff, which was a grab bag of audioquest and Kimber. I found the Signal stuff to be very smooth. Essentially grainless high frequencies, and good low frequency repr... | |
| Jolida CDP question Sfrounds,Its tough hitting that just right balance! I spent about 6-9 months trying to figure out which way to go for my digital front end. At various times I thought about going with a modified Music Hall, Jolida, Shandling, or keeping my CDP an... | |
| classical sampler? If you live in or near a metropolitan area, you should be able to pick up a classical radio station. It's free, the music is all high quality (though you may not like it all) and you will be exposed to a very wide variety of classical music. That ... |
