| Where's Opera on SACD??? There's la Boheme on Decca with Angela Georghiu and her husband. The performance is truly very good. The mixing, only acceptable. The "Poisoned Kiss" by Vaughan Williams just came out on Chandos. Quite enjoyable alla G&S way. I just purchased ... | |
| Rhapsody in Blue - Which one? This was one of my favorite works until United Airlines ruined it for me. You can't avoid it whenever you go to any airport. Having said this, I agree with above comments, there are many scoring versions of this that owning one does not do it full... | |
| Stevie Wonder MFSL Innervisions It's superior to the recently remastered CD. The sound is definitely fuller and more balanced. The details are there but not overly accentuated. However, it all depends on the price of the MFSL version. If it will cost you more than $50 then I'll ... | |
| Totem Model 1 Center Signature Centre speakers from Castle, JMLab, ProAc, Thiel, Vandersteen and Totem (speficically Model 1) are tested and reviewed in UHF (Ultra High Fidelity) magazine No. 67. The back issue only costs $4.99. The overall panel of listeners found the Model On... | |
| Sonus Faber Cremona Auditors B&W gives you Hi Fi sound, Sonus Faber gives you music. I used to have B&W...just my opinion. | |

| Recommendation - Complete Beethoven Sonatas Another definite vote for Goode. I hope this cycle gets re-issued on hi-res one of these days because the sound was quite excellent. | |
| MFSL Original Master Loudspeakers OML-2 & OML-1 Lferrera, can you please share the specs whenever convenient? Thanks. | |
| Sony SCD-XA 3000 ES any opinions? You mean SCD-XA 9000ES? | |
| Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart...RIP How about that beautiful and magical duet from "Cosi Fan Tutte" that they used in the Shawshank Redemption? I'll toast to his genius! | |
| Simple, Stylish Songs for Piano How about some Noel Coward or Alec Wilder songs? Coward's songs are funny and clever while Wilder's songs are poignant. The latter are especially easy to sing as the range is not too wide for most people. One of my favorites is "Blackberry Winter". | |
| OT: CES January 2004 Dwudman, If you're mainly interested in audio, then book as closely as possible to the Alexis Park hotel, although the San Remo is also a venue for other high-end audio products as well. No matter where you are, there will be shuttles to take you ... | |
| Combined speakers yeild even better performance Is this what some Nestorovic speaker models are trying to achieve? I think some models come in pairs using inverted stacking. |
