| 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! | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Forgot it was 3. Brahms, 1st piano concerto, 1st movement, Curzon. Bach, Mass in B minor.Regards | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Mahler, "Song of the Earth" K. Ferrier/B Walter, the Farewell. Not recommended for suicidal tendencies. Kathleen sang Ewig (farewell) a few months before she died -- and she knew her condition. | |
| problems with musical fidelity A3cd Is this MF's tube package? If so, you're lucky. A friend of mine had that -- it resigned from service 1 month down the line (purchased new).Good luck with repairs! | |
| Which Tube integrated for Virgo? Have auditioned the Virgos with a short-list consisting of KR, Jadis (Reference -- see Trelja), and Pathos (the twin towers or something like that). The results were very good. IMHO, the KR came first, Jadis ref 2nd, Pathos a close 3rd. I audition... |
