| TUBE or SS PATHS The way I see it, you got to put the oscilloscope down and listen to music/voice/anything else, both live and recorded. Take your time. Let your ears be the guide. Keep in mind that source material may not be all that perfect, either, and there... | |
| Imaging and the first violin(s) First violin sections and solo violin have been a bete noire for my stereo systems for years. No matter what I do. Pizzicato is great. Bowed 1st fiddles are another matter. | |
| One Only Please- Your Favorite Track from which album and Artist please Panic in Detroit. David Bowie. In the RCA LP Aladdin Sane. | |
| R.I.P. Dr. John RIP. Loved him. Saw him live, too, I can't remember where or when. | |
| Favorite band or artist of all time? Gustav Mahler. David Bowie. Ihasaguy -- Sorry to report but I walked out of the Allman Bros Band/Duane Allman concert they put on in Santa Barbara in '71, during the same tour you certainly saw. It got to the point where I decided that if I hea... | |
| Anybody play any musical instruments........... Great to see some players among the listeners. Though I haven't gotten much better over the years, I regularly play music (acoustic guitar, fiddle, banjo & piano) until my fingers fall off. | |
| Echo in the Canyon (documentar movie) Saw it. Enjoyed it immensely. It doesn't hurt that my sister has lived in the thick of Laurel Canyon's music ghetto for 40+ years. And back in the 1970's, me and my rock band regularly jammed at my cousin's Laurel Canyon pad. Hey man, like, ho... | |
| Yet another Qobuz vs. Tidal debate I prefer Qobuz over Tidal but like some of you folks I often get streaming interruptions. I'm now best email pals with the Qobuz techie, but the interruptions, though less frequent, still remain. As for my preference for the Q, it's because thei... | |
| So just how much vinyl do YOU own? I'm sure I've said this on other forums here but I have thousands...even after more than a few wholesale blood-lettings. I've got the Monaural and early Stereo records my dad bought in the forties, fifties and sixties. I started collecting for m... | |
| What is they best album out there for showing off the sound quality of your system. The Harmonia Mundi France recordings of Gregorio Paniagua and his Atrium Musicae de Madrid. Anything on Todd Garfinkle's M.A. Recordings label. Yeah, even the CD's have gangbuster fidelity. | |
| Linda Ronstadt I continue to love Linda. She may not have strictly adhered to the styles that the songs she sang demanded, but her intelligence, sheer vocal chops and adventurous spirit made her compelling, anyway. I saw her perform, either at the Hollywood Bo... | |
| New to classical music Lots of great suggestions here. Just dive in.rpeluso -- I saw Pollini, too. Started off with Chopin, and finished with one of those wild banging pieces he has a predilection for. His hair was flying. Many conservative concertgoers walked out. ... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? A husband-and-wife classical piano four hands duo at Hilo College Music Auditorium in Hilo HI, a couple days ago. They sat at a well-used, battleship-sized Steinway. The hall was only about a quarter full, and me and the wife had tenth-row seats... | |
| Analog or digital ???? I have thousands of vinyl records, and this is after me and the wife have engaged in more than a few serious cullings. If you don't have vinyl already, though, I'd politely pass on the format. Digital quality continues to get better, and I enjoy ... | |
| Do people know what they are missing? I just wanna put top flight musical artists in front of me or, even better, put me into the recording studio, club or concert hall. It's an addiction. An obsession. "Virtual" is okay, too. I don't have to see them. I just have to hear them. ... |
