| Ear 509 mk2 opinion I haven't heard the 509 with Zingali, but have heard a pair of old 519 driving one of the bigger (model?) Zingalis. I liked the upper end extension & bass control. The "open-ness" & sense of space usually found in Zingali was there, too. C... | |
| Anybody any comments on Tannoy Churchill or D12? I have heard the TD12 with a few combinations of electronics -- but not with Naim. I was suitably impressed and surprised at the life-like sound presentation they project.Also listened to Churchills many many years ago, so memory doesn't serve the... | |
| Bruckner 9th... Finally, for another view of the 9th & 4th, try Celibidache (on EMI I think). | |
| Electrocompaniet owners Cellorover, your commendable attitude (to donate some of your time) may be the biggest break for EC; manufacturer & users alike. Good for you (if I may)! | |
| Who R U? Welcome Bigkidz. You obviously succeeded in the most difficult endeavour: recognising beauty & happiness in everyday living. Cheers to you & family! | |
| What's your profession? Age? Hi Maril555, there are (were) a few m.d. here if you look at the "who R U" thread. Speaking of psychiatrists, Detlof is one. Cheers! | |
| Retail Buying - Reality Check Just to touch upon certain issues raised by Judith & others -- a bit late in the day (as usual). I'll give a small European perspective (basically Paris, & London, with some experience of Brussels & Athens). Until recently, we had impo... | |
| Mcintosh, YBA, Brinkman integrateds Scootster: WHICH Tannoy speakers? The McIntosh is meatier sounding (see Aball above) than the Passion. The Brinkman is s/where in the middle, with the Passion giving the best detail. | |
| What's a good website to describe different tubes? I remember that Viridian researched available info on the net. Why not ask him | |
| How could High End audio be improved? Onhwy, "Does this mean those not involved in high end audio are not drawn to feel more beauty in music?" Reading Asa as a 3rd party, the answer is, "probably not". It doesn't follow from his words that, not using hi-end as a tool in my pursuit of ... | |
| Definitive Beethoven's 9th recording Try Furtwangler's Bayreut recording from the early '50s. (Note however, that the orchestra is below stage level @ Bayreut, so it sounds as if it's playing on the floor!)There's also a 1936 recording of Furtwangler/Berliner which, IMO is even bette... | |
| 2003 CES Show Report from Father & Son Audio Thank you, Fs, for sharing with the rest. I'm sure your effort will be appreciated. Cheers | |
| Criminy, I've reached 300 threads I guess I'm still in the top three: +800. But then, I've been around for some time (~2yrs?). | |
| How could High End audio be improved? Nicely put, Asa! In a similar vein, proponents of "good sound at home" (i.e. musical beauty) USED to be opinion leaders in their social group; now they (we) are geeks. There is another consideration:Activity & interactive "leisure" keeps our m... | |
| Anyone heard outstanding sub/sat combinations? SF Guarneri with the bigger SF sub; AP Step with Luna sub. I liked the sound -- but I'd shy away from the word "outstanding"... Main electronics are important though, to get a seamless/coherent sound. |
