Great classical pianists
apr records released a series of recordings entitled The Russian Piano Tradition. Lot’s of Soviet Era recordings in this catalogue. I used to believe the Russian school to be mostly psychological but right after the Orange Revolution, I visited a ... 
Two amps into one pair of speakers
Listen to atmasphere !  
Two amps into one pair of speakers
I also understand that bi amping a pair of speakers can be done with four amps, two per speaker, if the amps are balanced in some way with an umbilical chord. Honestly, I have no idea how this is done but I remember an old time audio dealer explai... 
Great classical pianists
There are so many great pianists that I find making comparisons to be somewhat silly. I’ve heard conservatory students who were amazing and many of them will go through life without getting the attention they deserve. As for those who enjoy stardo... 
Which arms share the Rega Geometry?
@dhcod So you don't want the arm for the new table but another table while your new table is being built? Why can't you share what type of table you need this tonearm for? If it's a high end table, then you want as good an arm as you can afford. G...

@dhcod What kind of turntable do you have?  
Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried...
Frog Records remastered the entire Bessie Smith catalogue. Back in the day I had the Columbia box set but was disenchanted with the sound quality. The Frog remasters are simply amazing by comparison. If you like art music, I’ve heard good things ...

Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
@viber6 Thanks for telling me about the Tweak Audio Inverter Power article. That was a huge help, now I have some idea of what people are talking about. First however, I need a new tonearm for a Thorens that I’ve been modifying into a dedicated mo... 
Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
To be honest I need a new tonearm so it might be another year before I consider a generator, never mind.  
Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
Sorry I got here late. My ASR amp runs off two power supplies and a battery so I’m good there. Can someone recommend a simple DC battery for my digital and analogue front end? About a year ago there was a thread about the Goal Zero but I was skept... 
Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet?
Is there one device that addresses everything from the internet line entering the house, to the transport that feeds into the DAC?

@teknorob23 who makes passive filters other than Network Acoustics?

@mitch2 I’m envisioning Stockhausen’s WDR Studio; https://120years.net/wordpress/wdr-electronic-music-studio-germany-1951/  
Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet?
The Muon seems reasonably priced if it delivers what it says it will. I've spent three times that on Quad panels over the past couple of years. Anyone have an opinion on the Ether Regen from Uptone Audio? I use their ISO Regen and it improves upon...
