| Too much Yo-Yo Ma? Hold on - Jordi Savall. Just listened to a couple of online tracks. I'm now on the hunt for his works; thanks for the recommendation! | |
| Too much Yo-Yo Ma? I third Jaqueline, followed by Fournier, Starker, and Rostropovich. Would add Casals and his classic recordings.As for Ma, I do like the emotion and intonation he adds to his playing; I keep coming back to his Bach solo #2 1983 recording on CD. ... | |
| Tinnitus sufferer: is it the speakers or the 24bits/192kHz I've had mild tinnitus since birth, but fortunate enough that it really hasn't bothered me in the fifty years I've had it. I have similar experience as keithr in that metal tweets really bothered me in my 20s - before I really knew what was going... | |
| Tube Preamp with Solid State Amp? As you have Klipsch, I'd recommend keep your P5 and try swapping out your A21 with a tube amp. I tried tube pre/ss amp a long time ago (Audible Illusions+Exposure) and really liked it, but practical considerations in integrating HT with my stereo... | |
| Abominations: HT processor to tube amps? I run my HT thru a NAD M15 HD into Rogue M-150 monos. It’s absolutely outstanding. I’ve got an Adcom 6 channel amp running bridged center and surrounds (leaving the other two to pick up Atmos once I upgrade the NAD). My two-channel listening goes... | |
| Which? Muse model 100 amp or Acurus DIA100 integrated? I would opt for the DIA100 due to its control in the lower registers (it's a bit grainy on top). But as Zd542 says - it all comes down to your preferences. | |
| System upgrade advice I doubt you will outclass those electronics with those 804's, but I would audition them first. If you can find a dealer to loan them to you, that would be best.I like the Paradigm Studio series, but can see where some can find the tweeters subject... | |
| amps,pre amps HELP Hi Corin,1. Depends. Convenience in integrated amp, whereas pre and amp buys you into the fun, yet scary world of "upgraditis".2. The JD 9 is a phono stage - are you already running a pre/int? Whenever I hear vinyl in a system, you should look at ... | |
| Borodin String Qtt 2 Ptss - received the disc several days ago, but hadn't the chance to really sit down and enjoy the recording over a cup of coffee (work schedule).I did take it for a casual spin, and can comment briefly on the recording quality - it is surprisingly... | |
| No audio playing SACD"s When playing SACD's, some spinners disable the digital output. Hook up a pair of analog cables and see if you get sound there when you play an SACD. | |
| Borodin String Qtt 2 Ptss: got a copy of the EMI recording you mention on silver disc headed my way. I'll give it a whirl and let you know what I think to continue this discourse. | |
| Borodin String Qtt 2 I only have one disc of Borodin, his Symphonies 1 & 2. Honestly, I'm with Brownsfan - Borodin is somewhat obscure, and definitely isn't a name I would search for actively with regards to chamber music.I will, however, look for your subject dis... | |
| old carver tmf-25 vs new NAD D 3020 I had a TFM-35x many, many years back. Coupled to a Carver Pro-Logic Pre/Pro (forgot the model #), the sound was incoherent, which I later pinned to the pre/pro when I replaced it with a McCormack TLC-1. The TFM-35x turned out to be pretty good (l... |
