| Classical music listening... what is a better source High Rez or Vinyl? I agree re Decca/London and EMI recordings. They are my favorites for the most realistic orchestral sound. Kenneth Wilkinson was a wonderful engineer. It is the recording that ultimately counts. Having said that, for me, that same recording wi... | |
| Classical music listening... what is a better source High Rez or Vinyl? My take, based on MY priorities, of course.For me, there is a fundamental difference in the sound of digital vs the sound of analog and this difference can be heard, to one degree or another, no matter how expensive or close to SOTA your equipment... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Kikoski is a terrific player and he keeps getting better and better. Thanks for the clips, acman3. I liked them very much. His playing has a very “up” quality; reminiscent of Chick Corea in that regard. Check out his solo on this. Wonderful! And w... | |

| Music is sound, sound can be music jet88, point taken. I agree with what you wrote about being respectful; no problem there at all. My reaction had to do with your pointing to the use of electronics as the apparent reason for why rap is disliked by some. As I said previously, that ... | |
| Music is sound, sound can be music Of course it’s avoidable; it’s a choice we make. We all set standards for ourselves; I do, anyway. There in lies the reason you and I will disagree on this point. I’m ok with that. | |
| Music is sound, sound can be music Sure, there can be different criteria used for defining something if one is comfortable with that kind of relativism. Some would consider that a lowering of standards. A cinder block works just fine supporting a speaker. Will it do as good a job (... | |
| Music is sound, sound can be music OP, you’re missing the point. The issue has nothing to do with the use of electronic vs “traditional” instruments. There is lots and lots of electronic music that is loved by many who don’t like rap. Aside from the personal opinions about the mess... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Thanks, edcyn (and even); I’ll check it out. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados mahgister, thank you for the wonderful Neuhaus and Pollini clips. I enjoyed them immensely. What a great teacher of interpretation Neuhaus was.“(Play it) a little more worried”, “...as if there is a sigh” Wonderful! | |
