| Best recoding of Mozart's Requiem I, too, like the Schreier version -- although some voices let the performance down. Some of the older versions may be of interest: Klemperer is one, Bohm is another.TO these ears, the Dies ire is one of the most difficult parts to satisfy... | |
| Linn Ikemi CD Player vs. Other Lower Cost Options Thsalmon offers good advice and Gboren offers a good tip, IMO. Later (i.e. 2002) models are slightly better than the originals. Cheers | |
| Tweaks & How My System Disappeared J-D your excellent & informative thread reminds me of the "Winter lessons" of old... Pls excuse my no-brainer -- but, do I understand the set-up correctly: component on (soft) footer, footer on Aurio? The speakers remain on Aurios alone? Thank... | |
| What's the Best Speakers use with the CAT JL2/SL1? Razen: 1st, Wow, excellent system! (if I may use the word). As to yr question: IMO (and experience) you can drive ALL of the reasonably sensitive speakers with yr CAT combo -- the list is, believe me, long enough for a PhD. Anything that's phase c... | |
| Thank you Audiogoner's for your civilized attitude PLUS, acrimonious responses from A'gon members yield positive results: that's how "clueless" got his moniker!Cheers! | |
| What is a good intro to "Mahler"? Detlof, how about we try both places? No point in abandoning those Moutons in their solitary cellar... | |
| What is a good intro to "Mahler"? Detlof, can we share TWO bottles? I'll ease you out of the remaining half bottle of Mouton (pity to leave it in the bottle)before, and we can tackle the next one during!BTW, speaking of Mahler, has anyone heard Neumann's version of the 5th with Ge... | |
| What gear do Audio manufacturers use at home? The following is hearsay from manufacturers or their pals...Y B Andre PURPORTEDLY uses a 1-six pre (with premium parts) & passion monos --- just to make sure matching b/ween the two lines is good enough. Supposedly he has used S-Faber, ribbon ... | |
| What is a good intro to "Mahler"? Sugar, try K Ferrier/B Walter for Das Liede. Very moving performance... Keep a bottle of Scotch handy, and stay away from windows. | |
| H-CAT Model 12-P Preamp, Fact or Fiction?? Nope, but maybe the engineers among us can make s/thing out of the technical blurb. My knowledge is so limited, I thought Doppler was something docs used... | |
| What is a good intro to "Mahler"? Beg to differ - slightly: Mahler 5th is my recommendation for starters (I like the Barbirolli version on EMI -- hard to find on vinyl though) THEN 2nd (can also recommend Klemperer/PSO) then 1st (I like the Walter/NYSO version).A live Bernstein/Be... | |
| Cable directionality The shield is typically connected at source end in pro applications. Allegedly helps keep interference away in long cabling situations. If we coin a word, "directionality", to mean which way does the cable sound better to our ears, then we can do ... | |
| Difference between SME 3009 VS. RB 300? I confirm Mara's point above. I had a 160/3009, eons ago, and was sonically happy with the combo. | |
| Review: Nordost Valhalla Interconnect Very thorough JD, as of old! Incidentally my limited impressions with Valhalla are similar to your description above. Cheers | |
| Classical lp dilemma - recommendations, please ...Yes, he did Mara. For a student called Elise, it seems. I don't know if anything else ensued. But, it ain't bad to have Beethoven compose s/thing for you! |
