| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? I believe Sony once made a cartridge with a diamond cantilever. The cantilever and the stylus might have actually been one continuous piece. Maybe someone could confirm this? | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 I agree with OP’s comments regarding changes in the area of new technologies. If I were interested in a DAC, I would try to determine whether there’s a good chance that the maker will offer upgrades in the future. Especially if you end up spending... | |
| Doobie Brothers' drummer John Hartman dead at 72. I saw the Doobie Brothers on their Taking It To The Streets tour. I knew Michael Mc Donald from his work with Steely Dan as well as Jeff Baxter on guitar. I probably wouldn’t have gone but I had just won around $400.00 in a poker game so I bought ... | |
| Who is your Favorite Historical Conductor? @lowrider57 Wish I could hear that Atma-sphere amp, speakers too! Will look for PM, chilli'n. | |
| Who is your Favorite Historical Conductor? @lowrider57 I purchased one of the later Bryston BDP Pi transports that supports DSD 128, HDCD and PCM 24/192. My DAC is the Ayre QB9 Twenty upgraded and supports DSD 256, PCM 384 and HDCD. So I can playback DSD 128 but no higher. The Ayre QB9 ori... | |
| Who is your Favorite Historical Conductor? @lowrider57 Well regardless of the type of download you purchase, I would guess that it would still be better than waiting for a package to ship from Canada (that is if you live in the US). But I agree that based on the information, even a standar... | |
| Who is your Favorite Historical Conductor? @lowrider57 Yeah, that Pristine Furtwangler certainly comes with a hefty price. About the Tape to Tape website, I have doubts that a hard copy, gold plated CD will sound equal to the DSD download as the gold CD isn’t an SACD. Some folks will say t... | |
| DAC suggestions There’s a Naim DAC on eBay for $2,500.00. | |
| Who is your Favorite Historical Conductor? @lowrider57 They're located in Canada so I'd suspect they'd been obligated to pay out royalties. However copyright laws only extend to about fifty years (at least with artwork). As far as DG recordings, I would be a skeptic but who knows? It alway... | |
| Who is your Favorite Historical Conductor? For anyone interested, I just came upon this High Definition Tape Transfers website. The reviews are good and there are a fair number of classical and jazz recordings available. Here's the Furtwängler page. https://www.highdeftapetransfers.ca/coll... | |
| Alan White-Yes. R.I.P. @bdp24 All-right, I'm going senile but I was still correct, Alan White is on 'All Things Must Pass' along with Jim Gordon, Ginger Baker and Ringo Starr. I believe Alan White played on Apple Jam somewhere but I can't remember where exactly. Check o... | |
| Breaking in new speakers, what is your favorite music for this? Nino Rota | |
| Who is your Favorite Historical Conductor? @lowrider57 Forgot to mention, I know of some of the Music & Arts releases but not many. I own the Lili Kraus Mozart Solo Piano Box Set and it is superb. | |
| Who is your Favorite Historical Conductor? @lowrider57 Yeah, I can recommend the d'Orfeo label in general. I was at the record store today and we were talking about the lawsuit against MOFI. The context of the discussion centered around whether all analogue remastering is actually superior... | |
| Who is your Favorite Historical Conductor? @mahler123 I remember a number of RCA and DG studio recordings of Furtwängler. Also, Warner released the complete studio recordings and it's a 55 CD box set. I'm thinking that would include the RIAS recordings. Anyway, that seems like a good amoun... |
