| Arthur Salvatore WoW comments?? Everyone, this is getting serious. Detlof's slept through the whole week, occasionally pausing to say shit (SORRY, excrement) and con. I'm talking about his only lucid moments here... plus he wants to chuck his rig out of the window (without discl... | |
| Celibidache on DG or EMI? Pls1, do you prefer Celi's Beeth. 9 to Furtwangler's Beireut version? (not the recording -- the performance). | |
| Low powered SET w/ Virgos? Not an SET, but in similar vein: Virgos driven by a Pathos Twin Tower (a hybrid integrated). The sound was "bouncy" and homogenious, as I remember, with good dynamics. Am not sure of top end extension. Source was cd and listening was at a dealer's... | |
| Arthur Salvatore WoW comments?? Kubla, is it OK to use the word "excrement"? | |
| Arthur Salvatore WoW comments?? Have you all noticed that audio connoisseurs double up as connoisseurs of other goodies too, often of the alcoholic variety? Remember those "best of" threads for single malt, gin, beer, etc?Slawney, only 30k MINUS tax -- a steal! (R U sure the pri... | |
| Monoblocks did not work Indeed that's strange! Is it something in the architecture? The following link treats bi-amping -- but may be helpful nevertheless: http://www.sound.au.com/bi-amp.htmI'm sure there is a very simple solution to great sound.Good luck! | |
| Best professional TEST CD? To the above, I would add Chesky's "The Ultimate Demonstration Disc". | |
| Best CD of Rachmaninoff's Third Piano C I can also recommend V. Horowitz/CSO/F Reiner for Rach 3 (RCA, 1951 recording). There is a later recording of Rach 3 with Horowitz/NYPO/Ormandy (RCA, 1978). I prefer the older version. I have both on vinyl, so cannot give the CD refs -- sorry. | |
| Frequency ranges I took your word for it... | |
| Frequency ranges Meta, you're getting me worried. Last time we spoke, you were pinpointing resolution imbalances over the 50kHz range..:) | |
| Best speakers to play Mahler and Bruckner Wjones, for Mahler 1 (that I love) you could give Walter/Columbia (rather than the NYSO) a listen. I find the 2nd part very simplistically moving...Cheers! | |
| Absolute Power Cord "Smooth", as D-K notes, is also the result on my second CD trans+DAC. I don't seem to be suffering from loss of dynamics, either. For $50, they're a very reasonable allrounder. | |
| CAT/Hovland internal phono vs external? I only know the CAT. I found the line excellent, the phono above average by comparison. The latest audition was at home with a S. Yorke T4/Pluto 6/Clearaudio Discovery, S-Line RG7 amp, Gen V speakers. So, take this with a grain of salt...Don't kno... | |
| Arthur Salvatore WoW comments?? Wazzat about tracks??? Only ONE??? (I'll track this one down with my shrink and report back) :) | |
| Best speakers to play Mahler and Bruckner Raul, for Mahler's 3rd I suggest Adler. Yu11375, may I recommend Barbirolli for Mahler 4-5-6-7, and Horenstein for 8. I love Klemperer on the 2nd and Walter on 1st.I think A-Physics are a good idea, capable of reproducing the intensity and emotion... |
