| Classical Music for Aficionados Have always found Haydn Symphonies difficult -- they are not quite as dramatic as Mozart's later works and most performances do not bring me back for repeated listenings.Then, this last year, found the Thomas Fey/Heidelberger Sinfonien Haydn CDs. ... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados TwoLeftEars (et al):Just got the Tabakova in and have previewed the CD; it is impressive indeed, Highly sophisticated compositional style with spectacular string playing. Who knew the Lithuanian Chamber Orchestra had these kind of chops (Tabakova ... | |

| 20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017 seanheis1:Your comments by Bruno Putzey are incisive.Have noted as well that large weight, quality, and expense are regularly pitted against small weight, almost as good quality, and cheapness and the latter always wins. This has been the case wit... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados twoleftears (great handle...)Thanks for the recommendation; just ordered it from Amazon.Here are two lesser known albums I have found mesmerizing:1. Zelenka: Orchestral Works by Archive and Camerata Bern; pay attention to the Hipocondrie2. Edgar M... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Vindenpar:Have recently purchased a number of ADD sets as large collections from Amazon and been surprised at their superb sound quality. Some of the Columbia recordings by Bernstein have a natural acoustic feel lacking in modern digital efforts.H... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Know nothing of vinyl because I abandoned it in the 80s.Have found, however, that you can get a significant amount of air with CDs by upsampling them in JRiver to 192/24 then playing them back with a quality converter. Engineers have explained to ... | |

| Classical Music for Aficionados Access to product.Having purchased Classical CDs since they first started appearing in the early 80s, have seen the many changes that have taken place in the retail environment. These days there are no music stores left that sell new product (reme... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Almarg:Not sure about the word "noise" in your post. Music at 95db from acoustical instruments is not dangerous at all. Noise, however, can be troublesome as loud as 90 db. Am considering "noise" to be random in nature and not periodic as is music... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Excellent thread idea, RVPiano.Thought about this a while as I have been collecting since the 70s and have too many favorites to list.So here are three "fives" that are extraordinary for both their performances and recording quality (for their day... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Wondering if anyone had to wait for their DI grills a long time, got used to the sound of the speaker without covers, then got the covers and noticed the sonic change. If so, what were the differences?Well, am only interested a little, actually...... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts This is, truly, an exceptional thread and it is buoyed by the quality of the regular contributors and the revolutionary nature of the DI.This is addressed to Grannyring and any others with exposure to both class A and class D amps. Have recently h... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts This is a different perspective that I have offered on this and other threads.One of the great advantages to me of the original DIs (w upgrade) is that they contain defined speaker types that can be purchased directly on the open market. I have do... | |
