| 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... | |
| Who is your Favorite Historical Conductor? @lowrider57 Here's a nice Furtwängler box set of the Vienna at the Salzburg Festival. The recordings were cleaned up. I own it and will say that it's nice being able to hear him in live performance. https://www.orfeomusic.de/CatalogueDetail/?id=C... | |
| Who is your Favorite Historical Conductor? The great violinist David Oistrakh was also a fine conductor. | |
| Who is your Favorite Historical Conductor? It’s a little difficult for me to separate the conductor from the orchestra. Of the three choices listed by the OP I’d have to choose Furtwangler with the Vienna or Berlin. One of my all time favorites not previously mentioned is Eduard Van Beinum... | |
| Alan White-Yes. R.I.P. If my memory serves me; he played on George Harrison’s ‘All Things Must Pass’ and I loved what he did on that record but didn’t care for the other things I heard him play on. Given that I liked him on Harrison’s record, my thought is that he suppo... | |
| Mozart-Clarinet Quintet @frogman Thanks for the link! Those appear to be some wonderful instruments, I wouldn't mind owning a few myself. @mahler123 Yes, both BIS and Pentatone were early with their releases on SACD. I've never owned a good disc player much less an SACD... | |
| Mozart-Clarinet Quintet Anybody know, who makes modern historical instruments? | |
| Mozart-Clarinet Quintet @mahler123 I’m not surprised that any label is moving away from SACD given that audiophiles are no longer buying disc players as they once had. Also, the mastering behind DSD is different than SACD. I’m wondering if streaming services will ever of... | |
| Modern Turkish music Here's their website; https://www.babazula.com/ 'Gecekondu' is consistently good throughout. 'Cecom' is one of my favorite songs and here's the video; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPzJ58DRZ5U | |
| Mozart-Clarinet Quintet @mahler123 Mozart wrote a piece for the postal horn, the same horn that postal carriers used to announce the mail delivery. | |
| Modern Turkish music Well, there is a band from Turkey that I like but it is different from what you've been engaged in. They use traditional Turkish instrument but with electronic effects. They play Turkish folk psychedelic with projected images and belly dancers. Th... | |
| Direct Drive @dover @sokogear Know anything about the Rega 78 table and cartridge combination? Seems like the best option for 78 shellac records. Also, it's large leap in price from the Rega 880 to the 3000. | |
| Direct Drive @dover Threaded VTA adjusters are available for any Rega mount. https://soundsupports.co.uk/Rega%20Related%20Products/ Of course Rega wants their customers to buy Rega cartridges but to me that seems limiting. I do believe in the compatibility fa... | |
| Direct Drive @dover The OL's use gimbal bearings. OL incorporates a floating bearing design but I don't believe they're loose. My thought is that one would have to do a side by side comparison to determine which arms sounds better. I'd expect to see compari... | |
| Direct Drive I believe one of the things that should be recognized here is whether a vintage table would be preferable to a modern table. Micro-Seiki made some great DD tables but many believe the newer tables to be better. I'd say decide for yourself as eithe... |
