| Want help for my system Salut Diakanov! With all due respect for all the above, and if U like yr YBA 2 pre and yr. JM Lab Minis, partner with YBA 2HC rather than the Mimesis. This is MHO, having heard cross combination, pre & power, from the two brands. The other way... | |
| Battery Powered amps and preamps Paul, the only battery powered equipment I had was a DNM pre -- 15 years back. The power supply was a rechargable battery, officially always plugged into the socket (purists had advised otherwise). It was particularly silent by pre-amp standards o... | |
| To tone control or not to tone control Artemus, I would be interested in the results of the tone-control "tricks" suggested above -- if U have the time & feel like it, do give us feedback.Thanks! | |
| How much time do u spend listening. Love from a-far for the baby. Maybe a new audio/ or music-phile there? No money, there was a thread on rating a while back... I'm sure many a-goners are surprised at ratings they get. I know I am -- but then, I could be naive or get my wording wro... | |
| How much time do u spend listening. About two hrs a weekday, as much as possible on W/E. My system is on all the time (except when I'm away on a trip).I find that I *NEED* the music, as an essential ingredient of survival. Off to join No money in his music buying spree.Regards! | |
| HOW LONG DID YOU HAVE TO WAIT TO GET.... No money spoke for me too; I started 25 yrs ago with a little Philips integrated TT with separate speakers. For years I added to the music collection and, when I could afford it, I upgraded the equipment with used items. I reached my "best" system... | |
| Musicality" in a system? What IS that ? An illuminating rendition, indeed! I wonder if we could stretch Katharina's & frogman's proposition to say (borrowing Detlof's term) that musicality is the capability of evoking "gestalt" of a performance in which we did not and COULD not part... | |
| So much Bach, where do I start? Frank, thanks for the extra info. I already ordered the MC Alain version on Erato (the # came in handy!), and my friendly music dealer is looking for the Walcha.Best regards!Greg | |
| Musicality" in a system? What IS that ? Looking forward to yr input, Frogman. Thanks! | |
| Absolutely Amazing Absolute Power Cords Chris & others, forgive my con'nued confusion -- maybe it's because I live ~10,000 miles away from the US coast and/or because English is not my native language: what's the verdict? Is this a scam, is it worth a try, what? To use this stuff ov... | |
| To tone control or not to tone control Hi Artemus, wish I could help more. As Dekay, I never used this in my system. Sonically, the mid-range darkened only by a tad, the bass was boosted and the highs became more pronounced and a bit harder -- but at least, one got a simulation of high... | |
| Musicality" in a system? What IS that ? Happy Easter, Detlof and others! | |
| So much Bach, where do I start? Frank, thank you for suggestions above. I second Pinnock, Leonhardt, Brendel, and Richter; will check out Walcha, Alain (I've been looking for a "convincing" Chorals version for some time now). May I also suggest Orchestral Works / Munchinger / De... | |
| Absolutely Amazing Absolute Power Cords Audiofrk, I didn't get yr point. Are U making one? Which company? Last time I checked (3 hrs ago) I was still a recruiter (of people, not cables / cords or otherwise metallic conductors). | |
| So much Bach, where do I start? For Vivaldi orchestral try the Musici version with C. Scimone on Philips Classics, vols 1&2, and enjoy! |
