| Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique; recommendations.... I have many recommendable versions on LP, but on the CD, from my own personal listenting, I can recommend the Symphonie Fantastique version LONDON G2-36839 with the Chicago Symphony, Sir Georg Solti, conducting. It is a live recording from the 199... | |
| Rachmaninov Piano Conerto 2 - Recommended LP? The following two are very old recordings on LP, but they are revered as the best interpretations. They have adequate sonics, but of course, they are not modern recordings amd were recorded on mono as they were recorded before the stereo era. Rach... | |
| Greatest Recordings - your opinions My recommendation does not qualify in the 'Greatest Recordings' arena, but since many contributors recommended works with the being right there atmosphere, I wish to contribute a live night club recording where you get the amosphere of being there... | |
| your top 5 classical cds Choosing five is a tough choice, but whether it be top three, top five, or top fifty, I would always place Jascha Heifetz playing both the Beethoven and the Brahms Violin Concertos on one CD, RCD 5402 as my top dog.The next four to make a total of... | |
| Operas... Any fans? While I am an avid classical music and Jazz afficionado, I have a love of opera but my knowledge is less than other classical forms. I am more knowledgeable about concertos and pieces relating to violin, cello, and piano. I do have a great admirat... | |
| The Best Inexpensive Wines Available Now My vote for the best inexpensive red wine goes to Falesco Vitiano 2001 from Umbria which is available at the Wine Club in California as well as Cost Plus Imports for $7.99. Robert Parker gives it an 89 pt. rating. | |
| Thorens TD165 in perfect shape. What cartridge? My thoughts on a good pairing for your turntable is a Stanton 681EEE or 681EEES which you can still purchase new within your budget. I would also suggest lightly lubricating all moving parts. | |
| Fix Thorens or replace? Almost all Thorens turntables are virtually indestructible, and since your turntable is a belt drive model, I suppose a simple fix in lubricating the inner spindle rotating parts and putting a new belt might be all that you need to do. The rotatin... | |

| Japanese/Asian Speakers??? The Yamaha 500M and more so the 1000M are Japanese speakers that are able to compete with the monitor speakers made in any other part of the world. They are, however, in my opinion the only Japanese speakers that have been marketed here in the U.S... | |
| I need a female jazz vocalist. No Krall, No Norah Going back to old Sergio Mendes recordings, all his female singers beginning with Wanda De Sah in his Brazil '65 renditions were all talented. Going back further, Criss Connors was a forceful singer during the days with Brubeck. Lena Horne also ha... | |
| paradigm studio 100 VS. triangle celius The Triangle Celius 202 is my current favorite among my many speakers, and it mates well with both tube and ss equipment, in my case I have used them with Krell 300i as well as AR SP9-II and VT-60 with the Krell assisting its bass performance a bi... | |
| Convert Bozak Mono Speaker to Subwoofer??? The Bozak woofer makes an excellent subwoofer in my opinion. It has a natural roll off at a fairly low Hz and as such, it does not need a very sophisticated upper crossover. In fact, I have used them for woofers in conjunction with Lowther PM6 dri... | |
