| Qobuz Figaro Blumlein is good. Sometimes with a little room ambience mixed in to warm it up.Pops? Use stylast and you won't get any pops. Sounds better too. | |
| Give Bach a try Oracle462 and jimcrane:Pitily, I find Olafsson bloodless. Compare with Lisitsa:https://youtu.be/lTZoKehkZcI | |
| Give Bach a try Hey, Kairosman it's on Qobuz in hi res. | |
| Give Bach a try Yes you can get New Old Stock Archiv 4808383 on 26 CD's - pitily at double the price of the Blu Ray edition. The CD's offer lesser sound and lesser convenience. It's a lot more fun to navigate 2 Blu Ray's than 26 CD's. Why not get a $100 Blu Ray... | |
| What are your TWO favorite Symphonic Recordings? I'm sorry but I cannot get into the Krips 58 Schubert Ninth finding it oddly mannered with weird phrasing. Compare with Krips own 53 recording of the Schubert Ninth with the Concertgebouw. The phrasing is simple and straightforward. Unfortunately ... | |
| The very best sound: Direct to Disc What's the difference between a good community orchestra and a world class orchestra? 10 db. When Sheffield was setting up for the Leinsdorf sessions, they practiced on the Pasadena orchestra. Then the LA Phil came in and blew the lights out. They... | |

| A warm DAC? Burl B2 Bomber. Musical and involving with Oppo transport. Right at yr 2.5K price point. Audiophiles should check out pro gear. Better sound at lower prices. | |
| Help for an Old School Audiophile Nooooooooo! Keep your vinyl.CD on a Nagra is musical and involving but switching to vinyl on a VPI TNT 1 with Benz Glider is that much more musical. | |
| You know you are an Audiophile when: You have a furniture dolly to move your equipment around. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Before the Flood. Nobel Laureate Bob and The Band live. The version of Blowin' in the Wind is the heaviest track evah. Heavy metal eat yr hearts out. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Accurate IS musical. My $0.02, try the Nagra transport DAC combo with their own power supply. C'est Suisse et c'est tres tres precis.Another example from analog, a two track half inch Studer A80 running Agfa 468 is flat from 20 to 20 Khz and is ex... |
