| Vinyl reissues I don't think so. Dartzeel amp and pre. The new Ortofon OB40 MC on a table I have never heard of.This is a truly a "money no object" system in a room built specifically for 2 channel listenings including acoustic treatment and dedicated electricit... | |
| Looking for Wagner recommendations LOL! Gawbless, god bless you. No I have no expectations of Wagnerian porn.As I said, Der Walkure is just plain too long and boring.Of course the famous "Ride of the Walkure" is what everyone thinks of when they think of Wagner.Perhaps this is what... | |
| Vinyl reissues Tim, in fact that is the exact record that makes my point.I have a friend that heard it on a big time Dartzeel system and he was amazed at how bad it was in comparison.sorry if you own that. I have not heard it first hand, but my friend (who has a... | |

| Cleaning Dust off of Vinyl SandPaper!!! I knew it had to be a ruse.sorry about your post.I use a Audioquest carbon fiber brush.I have a friend with the Gem Dandy and I plan on getting one. It works very well and is not stupid expensive like the record cleaning machines.e | |

| Recommendations for close miked classical recordin If you are talking CD, try the Nimbus English String/William Boughton CDs. The Benjamin Britten one is particularly excellent.The Ralph Vaughn Williams is also excellent.These recordings where all done in a long narrow and somewhat reverberant roo... | |
| Bought Some Music Friday I wish they would reissue Joni Mitchell's "Song to a Seagull".This is her first release.It was produced by David Crosby,and the only person on the album besides Joni is Stephen Stills playing bass.This is IMHO her best record. If you can find a go... | |

| Audiogon "Recordings to Die for" a complete summary I like the idea of "life changing LPs" more than "Records to Die for". just semantics,but it sounds more positive.here is my list:IMHOMozart Requiem: Hogwood/Christ Church Oxford, Loiseau LyreThis is the greatest piece ever written.Unfortunately i... | |
| Best Christmas Album ok now for something completely different.Kings College,"Oh Come all Ye Faithful".A compilation of their "Lessons and Carols" service that is broadcast every Christmas Eve on NPR.This recording is easily found on CD, however the vinyl version (of ... | |
