| Best drink while listening to your rig? Driver: I had no intention of causing offense. I thought, at first, you were joking, but on second reading, you weren't. I don't judge anyone about anything, unless they intentionally cause me pain/suffering. You haven't. My apologies.Jmphotograph... | |
| YBA Passion vs YBA integre dt integrated???? I'm still hoping that someone here can directly answer Sea2's question about YBA vs. Plinius 8200. I own the 8200 mkII and cannot believe its stunning performance. To my ears, it's the first piece of equipment I've had that seems to get better eve... | |
| Diana Krall - What is your favorite CD of hers? Rayhall...that was hysterical!! I listened to some cuts from Stepping Out and other DK discs last night. I can't exactly say that she croons, Ernie. Sounds to me more like shouting. Maybe it the engineering...putting her too far forward?Listen to ... | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? Phasecorrect:YES! Port, esp, during these Chicago winters, with some good classical or jazz... great! You dring much LBV? The best deal, IMO, for LBV port is the 1994 Osborne. 95 points in my book, and even higher in James Suckling's, as I recall.... | |
| Mozart Piano Concerto 21. Yes, that would be nice, Tweekerman. I live in Chicago, so Barenboim does this all the time with Mozart at the CSO.BTW: Pletnev's "Pictures From An Exhibition" is terrific, in my book. | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? Where are you, Goinbroke? Penfolds makes some good stuff, esp. for such a huge company. | |
| How do you find BEST classical recordings??? These are all good suggestions. I read everything I can, ask friends, borrow recordings, listen at the store (some stores will open CDs for auditioning). There are also people who post reviews regularly on amazon.com. I have found a few reliable p... | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? Thanks for the primitivo recommendation, Jond!So, ANOTHER QUESTION FOR THE BOARD:We might have favorite food/drink pairings, but are there certain appropriate/acceptable combinations musical genre and drink? I mean, would you pair Bob Dylan with a... | |
| Mozart Piano Concerto 21. Tweekerman, I'm with you with respect to Oistrakh, particularly his non-Mozart canon. As for Pletnev, I hope you're not broadly castigating him. As a conductor, yes I agree, and I'm thrilled that he's largely giving that up. As a pianist, I think ... | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? Contrary to Driver and others, I in fact, like a splash of something when doing serious listening. Lgregoir: you have good taste (and must have a solid bank account)!How do people manage two hobbies: high-end audio and high-end liquids? | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? Jond: you have any particular recommendations for, say, a good Italian primitivo? | |
| Best cd player under $600 used for system I was lurking here waiting for someone to mention Arcam. I have both an NAD and an Arcam (Alpha 9). The latter is tremendous and would agree with Chetiar that the CD72 is worth looking into. | |
| Diana Krall - What is your favorite CD of hers? "Stepping Out" is OK. I don't know that her looks is all that gets the attention. Tierney Sutton is pretty damn good looking herself, a much better singer, has terrific engineers (IMO) at Telarc, but is only a dim glow in the music scene compared ... | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? MILK??!! Actually, I have to drink some to coat my stomach sometimes...for medicinal purposes only!Slipknot: tell me more about this beer! Great taste, though. The Macallan is great. I particularly like the 15yr. And your champagne recommendation ... |
