| Classical Music Review Chorus, Dresden Staatskapelle O., P. Schreier. 10/9This is the older (1725) version, with Schreier at 63 conducting and singing the Evangelist's part. A very emotionally involved and powerfull performance; the singers sound to me to be spilling ou... | |
| 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 ... |
