| Classical Music for Aficionados I am more a piano guy. Piano concertos just seem to be my favorite combo.As far as opera goes, I am limited to Mozart, Verdi, Puccini,and Bizet.Wagner makes my teeth hurt- and he was such a horrible human being.B | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados I find I enjoy listening to students, and non professional musicians.Even though it may not be up to Horowitz standard, it is still interesting.I also hear what the composer was trying to convey, and make me appreciate the music all the more.It al... | |

| Balanced cables Stringreen, I, too, own Vandy (Treo's) and am currently using the Atma MP-3 and MX-R amps (non Twenty).Ralph sold me a set of XLR cables (25foot) to go from the preamp to his MA-1's. They weren't expensive and I find them to be very listenable (no... | |
| Equalizers Personally, I wouldn't bother with equalizers. Though I haven't tried them, DEQX or the like, would be the way to go nowadays.B |
