| Classical Music Review A hapsichord version to supplement the piano. Hantai's playing is vigorous and rythmical (not as fast as one by van Asperen). I find the playing very good technically -- but also very musical. Hantai gives us a hapsichord performance that is alive... | |
| RPG Skyline mounting on ceiling Bob, how did you determine the one corner bass problem? Boom...? Excuse my naivete. BTW, I have a similarly "cosmetic" treatment in my room and a rug covering the 1st reflection on the ceiling (yr cellulose is far better, I'm sure).Rdr: why not tr... | |
| Members: start a music review section? I could chip in for classical. With many others here listening to classical, we might end up with a selection archive of a few, well argumented and recommended "five star" performances for certain works. The quality of the recording, however, does... | |
| The end of an affair? Think I meant *threesome* above... whatever (it's late -- excuse). | |
| The end of an affair? Martice, what about a shapely midrange, tight & full upper mid, beautiful headroom, and tight, full, effortless bottom end with long and finely-outlined extension?Wirehead: what are suggesting? That single Martice should get into a tri-some?? | |
| CAT Preamps are Great / Amps are Not? I heard the cat stereo partnered with the cat Ultimate, driving Avanti IIIs (N'ost Valhalla cabling). Pls note the audition took place at a dealer and only lasted a few hours. Good sound. I missed the superlatives, though. This doesn't mean the am... | |
| I opened both MIT and Transparent netwks 3, that makes two of us! | |
| The end of an affair? Why not go passive (no pun intended) for a while. Hook up a phono w/ some gain for analogue. Gives you time to keep looking while listening to music back home. Passive could be DIY, even.Good luck! | |
| What Are Your Audio Morals? It seems I'm lucky in that my dealer welcomes me to sit in at auditions, and demos of outlandishly expensive equipment he knows I can't (or wouldn't) purchase. When I find equipment in the used market, I inform him and ask for his opinion; we have... | |
| For You: THE most imprortant element... Emotion. Likewise with live music. | |
| Multiple Copies Of LP s Same Title Rcprince, if do you hit B/pest, there used to be a main outlet for Hungaroton at a central square (called Vorosmarty) diagonally opposite a famous coffee & pastry shop re-named Gerbeaud. All this is very close to Dob utca (=street) Detlof refe... | |
| BEST AC CORD UNDER 1000? Speaking of power conductors in general, check out Ikarus' thread in reference to a W-Post article on the subject. (washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/nation/A47809-2001May18.html)It seems that the cables conundrum is slowly being resolved after all. Final... | |
| Multiple Copies Of LP s Same Title Detlof, thank you! But how on EARTH did you unearth Fulop Peter! I used to live in Mitteleuropa; it was only through a Hungarian friend I heard about him (and subsequently lost trace).I will certainly mail; thank you most sincerely for allowing yo... | |
| This is THE powercord I want : Bravo, Ikarus, for unearthing this article. The french PPC has been applying similar (maybe identical) process in supplying cables to the National Health & Hospitals board since 1999... There was talk about supplying such cables to be used in ... | |
| what to upgrade I second Sean's concept, and I second the other posters' suggestions. 1st get the last ounce of what you have, damping, compenents decoupling, etc are inexpensive and effective. THEN, work on components. Great ideas already mentioned, although I w... |
