| Celibidache on DG or EMI? Pls1, in antithesis to Furt's last, Lucerne, recording of the 9th, I could point you to Fricsay's '57 version with the Berliner. Lyrical, smooth, less passionate, classical and serene. Judging from your stated prefs above, I wouldn't dare suggest ... | |
| Arthur Salvatore WoW comments?? Wirehead, does this mean that Alberto Bonaporta and G B A Salvatore could be related?? Please keep on digging! We're close to unravelling a mystery that's been kept behind closed doors -- I can feel it in my bones... | |
| Washington Post Article Think positive! News coverage means WE EXIST, officially, as testified by articles in aforementioned prestigious publications. i.e., we may become mainstream, one day. So, we won't have to explain to significant others et alia, the *why* of our ne... | |
| Best Speaker for 300B Indeed, D-K, the Silver Nights I auditioned driving the Lowthers were wearing WE 300b's. What impressed me the most was the transient attack -- on classical, mind you ("Pictures at an Exhibition" (Giulini), I still remember)!Anyway, this was at a ... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Kiwi, so you presently have OTA everywhere BUT the woofers. The set-up being, tube-to-tube to the Logans / analogue & digital sources?Pls excuse *my* confusion -- nothing to do with your postings.Thanks!Greg | |
| How much are you worth ? I'm close to fpeel in the arithmetic -- excepting the vehicle which belongs to my company. My present system retails for a fraction (35%) of my previous one ($+100k) that I had to sell, along with stock, to meet a dire situation. At least, I got a... | |
| Arthur Salvatore WoW comments?? Alberto Bonaporta is of Sicilian decent. He belongs to the US branch of the family better known as BONAPARTE, of Napoleonic fame. Hence, the worldwide connections. Alberto moves, as is his wont, in exalted circles where it is rumoured (got this fr... | |
| Help with my University Research Project This is very interesting. May I suggest you have *TWO* control ref recordings: the other one being on analogue tape. Surely you can enlist rec studio/ rec labels' help, rather than invest your time in mastering recording techniques... Technical st... | |
| Best Speaker for 300B D-K, aren't your Reynauds a minimal cross-over design? I seem to remember Reynaud producing some models (yrs ago) without a standard cross-over... I don't remember the model, but these speakers were being driven by the Audions.BTW, I also remember... | |
| Arthur Salvatore WoW comments?? K, I'm checking out prices on Stealths right away. Had fresh butter delivered from Normandy today: can we smuggle some to Detlof? Should we join forces with Don S.'s boys & generate a few alliances? The Don could orchestrate a suitable recepti... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE For 10 yrs I lived with a pair of active stats -- AudioExclusiv, a German product. The amps were an OTL design, with adjustable input gain. The electronic cross-over was also adjustable to +/-3db @ 30Hz/12kHz. The sound was beautiful: soundstage, ... | |
| Best Speaker for 300B Generally speaking, extra sensitive speakers (92+ db): horn-loaded (see above), passive crossover-less (Triangle et alia). You may also consider performant satellite speaker/active sub combos (A-Physics Step, et alia). There are many offerings; ma... | |
| Arthur Salvatore WoW comments?? Ok, I get the polite hint: you guys are expecting *me* to do the dirty, rig picking & storing, job. After all, Detlof lives just (1500 miles) round the corner from me... I'm happy to help.Kelly, I'm looking into suitable charters. I understand... | |
| Arthur Salvatore WoW comments?? Katharina, LOL! Thanks for making my day brighter (it's day in these parts).Must get the poor guy out of the can...Kubla, I'm running out of butter... Pls tell me where Detlof's stashed whatever's left of his system. I'll use that as a down-paymen... | |
| Arthur Salvatore WoW comments?? Thunders, how do you manage sleeping on your back with your back to the wall? :) Stereo, I bet you he's listening to Waits' "My Piano has Been Drinking"... |
