| Most achingly-beautiful music Tejo, is that Amalia Rodriguez, the great Fado singer? I heard her live at Lorenço Marques, Maputo now, in the early fiftees. P l e a s e tell me the name and marque of the CD/LP, She moved me to tears then, when I was a young boy.... | |
| Reviewing the Reviewers Well I think we owe a lot to Holt, who started it all, to HP, who gave us a language to describe our listening experience with and to Moncrieff for understanding cartridge loading and the influence of caps on sound. For me Salvatore is on a mighty... | |
| Best Thread in Audiogon. I liked "Most achingly beautiful Music", which I struck upon only now, best and also found the arguments on cabling generally interesting , before they became as monotonously repetitive as vindictive. I learnt a lot , thanks Gregm, in "What's Musi... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Elizabeth, thanks for reminding me about " Die Kluge ". You are so right. Must dig it out and listen again. For me:Schubert, Quintet in C, 2nd movement and the beginning bars of Mozart's Requiem. In another vein: Bach's Magnificat and the main the... | |
| Applause: Bummer If the applause sounds right, there's something wrong with your system. In live recordings, generally the performers are closely miked, with one or two mikes on the stage for ambience perhaps, hardly ever there are mikes over the audience, I would... | |
| Where will be hi-end audio in 2050? Aaron, it will still be chasing after the "absolute sound", in case that still exists. Cheers | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? Hear-hear, Redkiwi: Short and unrhubarbily to the point. Cheers, | |
| How much time do u spend listening. OOps sorry, I should have evened out no-money, which I did, but others had been at the good work already before me! Ssomit got also voted down, hence my mistake. I guess it was the same person. Why does he not speak up? I just have no patience wit... | |
| How much time do u spend listening. Ssomit, I evened out this stupidity for you. 2-3 hours every evening, full concentration, sort of concert like, sometimes classical, sometimes jazz, or pop, as the mood takes me. Sundays its tweaking, testing and also about 2-3 hours of concentrat... | |
| I am stunned Hey its incredible. Liguy has already been voted down! I gave him a plus 2/2 and got two zeros as a result. Shooting in the back I call that. Why does the person not speak out, if he has something to criticise. Its just plain lazyness and or cowar... | |
| I am stunned Liguy, thanks for your intellectual honesty and sharing it with us. Obviously you are a true empiricist, not stuck in the ideologies, which are passed on from one generation to the next, which in maintaining to be scientific fact more often than n... | |
| Spiked feet O heck Fpeel, we're such a serious lot here. As Jademo6 pointed out rightly a few threads ago, trying to be funny is often punished. I tried to start a thread about audiophile jokes a while ago, it started off great, but soon petered out. Obviousl... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Wow Wehamilton, excellent! I wished, I would have been able to write that post. We are a bit behind here in continental Europe, but its coming fast and some high end stores are beginning to fold, others begin to diversify into HT. So your sociolog... | |

| Help needed to set up an analog system Prs123 has said it all. He is very knowledgeable and his advice is sound. I've given him points and I think so should you. Robert Hartley is VERY useful and if you can hunt up old copies of TAS (The Absolute Sound) articles by Enid Lumley about to... |
