| Best sounding Beethoven symphony LPs For sound, the old ones aren't the standard. The rec's you have received are decidedly uncharacteristic. No one on several boards I know say to avoid Szell's set, whether it's the 70 reissue, the Epic box, etc. All the performances are good. Every... | |
| I was driving my wife's new 2008 Acura RDX doesn't go through, but here's the text, an answer in 10.07 to "Weak ELS sound?" on the acura forum:Originally Posted by pdphillThe image processing of the ELS makes up for less than stellar speakers and amps. When I got my TL, the quality of the ... | |

| I was driving my wife's new 2008 Acura RDX trucker, my system is 5.1 system. No tweets. I had those kind of things on our old car, the Lexus RX 300 (1998 1/2), which had a boomy softer sound, but at least wasn't sharp sounding. | |
| I was driving my wife's new 2008 Acura RDX jeff bowman, good idea :)I am asking for folks who experienced the same and maybe solved it without ripping out this fake high end system. If one looks at the website for ELS audio Acura, they rave like swooning teens about how great it is. | |
| I was driving my wife's new 2008 Acura RDX Guys and gals, I did all the things you suggest, turning the treble up, down, flat and the bass the same way. It's got a tipped up high frequency but no extended high frequency. Everything sounds sharp and it sounds brightly cool on pop, rock, etc... | |
| I was driving my wife's new 2008 Acura RDX Hey folks, some of you are mocking. Acura is selling this off as serious audio. Elliott Scheiner talks like he really knows. I auditioned the DVD-A that came with the vehicle, and it's absolute trash. Tchaikovsky in a 5 channel barrel for the last... | |
| Best recording / performance Dvorak Cello conc. The Fournier/Szell and old sound Casals/Szell as well as Starker/Dorati are widely considered to be the best. If you want a Rostropovich, the DGG BPO/Karajan SACD is historic (in the period of glastnost). I have a tape live with Cleveland Orchestr... | |
| antenna adaptor for Roksan Caspian email MayAudio or Roksan, they respond usually. Or Mike Godar or Gene Rubin Audio in Ventura ? county CA. Gene carries the Godar. Parts Express can sometimes help also. | |
| Sacd/dvd-a, The Hype Is Dead, For Me At Least... I have limited SACD and some hybrids (classical stuff). My own impression on a fair SACD universal player (Pioneer DV-47Ai) is that SACD is a bit better in my own system. People with a lot of money invested in their system rave about it so it must... | |
| Best amp for Vandersteen 2sig To my silly solid state but veteran ears, they seem rather uninvolving in my friend's system, with REL Strata III and Jolida 302B sourced by ShengYa CS10 CD/HDCD and Sony SACD changer. Good to excellent IC's, wiring, power and speaker, and tube ro... | |

| SACD - Dying already? For bundy and you all, i have a recently acquired pioneer dv47ai and my system is hugely better than anyone i know. i have upgraded to affordable (junk to many of you rich guys) gear consisting of a roksan kandy ka i III and whatmough p31 with a s... | |
| Best Beethoven's 9th recording? Beethoven 9th Reiner played the other day by PBS (KUSC) in LA. Great 2nd movement, almost great 3rd movement, and interesting and good last. I missed the first movement. I remember this record when I was a teenager getting started in music and hig... | |
| What integrated amp under a grand is your favorite Bought a Roksan Kandy III for $750 plus shipping from an audiogon dealer (demo) with full warranty. Sounds very strong and smooth, and great soundstage. Actually sounds stronger and cleaner than my old setup of PS Audio IV H and Hafler xl 280, rat... |
