| Well Recorded Classical Symphonic Recordings @newbee Actually the COE doesn't affect my preference.Unlike you I actually prefer larger Orchestras and prefer her recording of the 2nd Chopin over the 1st. I guess I like the larger soundscape that a full orchestra brings to the recording. Also... | |
| Well Recorded Classical Symphonic Recordings Do you mean Zimerman Chopin conducted by Giulini? If so just the 1st is a Live recording and suffers from a poor balance. The 2nd is a better recording. However I find the Maria Pires DG recordings of both much better. More spacious and better ba... | |
| Well Recorded Classical Symphonic Recordings @drbond Sorry if you were asking about the Beethoven Symphonies by Pletnev they are CD quality and I stream on Qobuz. | |
| Well Recorded Classical Symphonic Recordings @drbond I have Vanska cycle on CD and I also stream it via Qobuz both standard definition. Sounds identical either way. I left LPs in 1998 when I sold my Linn/Koetzu and bought my first CD player. Never looked back. The system I now have is m... | |
| Well Recorded Classical Symphonic Recordings @jasonbourne71 The Leaper recordings are very spacious but to an extreme that they lack weight. No bottom end. Please listen to the Vanska recordings on BIS which are much better in my opinion. Spacious with weight and impact. Plus the performanc... | |
| Well Recorded Classical Symphonic Recordings Sibelius for me is Osmo Vanska on BIS. In general I am not a fan of the Naxos sound. Have only a few of their recordings that I like: Elgar Second Symphony and Delibes Sylvia Ballet. But I'll check Leaper's. | |
| Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier @garebear Thanks however that one is way more than I’m prepared to pay. But will add Shunyata to my list. | |
| Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier @garebear Which power cables did you find worked best with Accuphase? | |
| Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier @rtorchia I think the issue here is we all listen and perceive sound in different ways. It may simply be some are left brain and some right brain dominant. Obviously you can’t be convinced that cables make a difference and I can never concede tha... | |
| Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier I never turn my amp, DAC or Streamer off. Aurender and MSB said leave them on. Accuphase said it didn’t matter you can leave it on or turn it off. | |
| Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier @rtorchia Sorry didn’t mean to offend you in anyway. Like you I have been an audiophile for over 50 years and learned many years ago how cables can change a system. We just have had different ways of listening and from my perspective I just don’t... | |
| Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier @pennfootball71 Haven’t upgraded the cable on my power amplifier yet. If I do I will probably spend a lot more on that cable. @rtorchia You clearly do not know how to listen or listen to music and recordings that would never allow discrimina... | |
| Did anyone return a PSAudio Powerplant? Why? Tried a PowerPlant 3. Did nothing for my system. Returned it. In fact it made my soundstage slightly darker and less wide. Depth was good. I actually think my power is pretty good from the wall. Can’t detect noise, hum etc. My system when on and ... | |
| Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier @r27y8u92 If you have a decent system you are missing out on what a power cable may do for you. I spent a small amount about $300 per cable for my DAC and Streamer. The change or should I say improvement was Not subtle. Soundstage on my Streamer ... | |
| Power Regenerator or Conditioner for Digital Sources BTW if you’re looking for beautifully recorded piano try any of Yuja Wang’s HiRes recordings on DG. Best Classical piano recordings ever. The Grand Piano is in your room. Recording Grand Piano is very different to get it right. Also a good test of... |
