| Is this when you have "arrived??" I got it. Thanks, Gumby. JOHN | |
| Is this when you have "arrived??" Gumbydammit. I think you should cut Ghosthouse some slack. He simply said that music played on even a less perfect system can still evoke joy and tears because it is music. I am sure that hearing it more clearly will more likely produce that respo... | |
| Clarinet concertos anyone? Thanks to all. As always, I have learned alot. John | |
| Clarinet concertos anyone? One choice would be Mozart's Clarinet Quintet by Anthony Michaelson of Musical Fidelity fame done well by Stereophile and John Atkinson. The highs are magical. It is STPH 015-2 and ordered from Stereophile.com.Another is Mozart's Clarinet Concerto... | |
| What would you upgrade next ?? If your system gives you goosebumps, then I would not change anything. John | |
| Shelby Lynne I thought the vocals sounded warm and intimate. The Absolute Sound in the March 2008 issue reviewed it and Neil Gader liked it. He said that she used a mic that was an ancient RCA 44 ribbon mic nicknamed "Frank's mic",giving it a vintage and elega... | |
| "Best" bookshelf/monitor for low-power amp? I have and love the Triangle Cometes. They are coherent from top to bottom and are quite sensitive and seductive and can be had for a song in the older ES model. | |
| Shelby Lynne She had a tragic childhood history as did her sister, Allison Moorer. Her pictures on the CD have a fairly cold stare which isn't the look of love. She looks to be a force to be recogned with. I really like the CD. I don't yet do vinyl. It is a bi... | |
| Best sound on classic rock cds Then there is southern rock which would include the SACD of th e Allman Brothers Live at the Filmore (mentioned above) and Eat a Peach and the Lynyrd Skynyrds Thirtieth Anniversary Collection on CD. Free Bird is the all time air guitar peice. I se... | |
| Least sensative speaker to placement This may sound low Hi-Fi, but I just heard the Triangle Comete ES in my small den fairly close to the back wall driven by an old Marantz receiver and they sounded very good. They are a bookshelf or stand speaker that go down to 55 Htz and have a h... | |
| what kind of audiophile are you ? I am with Timrhu. I love music and want it to sound good but am not willing to sell the house and have always leaned toward value. I have tweaked a pair of PSB Bronzes with new capacitors and, when the left metal dome tweeter blew, I replaced it w... | |
| Where were you the day the music died?-Buddy Holly I am 59 now so I was young but have an older brother who played Buddy Holly all the time - especially Peggy Sue and Rave On and That'll Be The Day and True Love Ways. I loved Buddy Holly then and still do. Memories rush back with every hearing. It... | |
| Vivaldi SACD recommendation? My favorite Vivaldi is La Stravaganza by Rachel Podger done in both CD and SACD (12 violin concertos). I have the CD but plan to buy the SACD. It can be found at elusivesound.com and other places. The sonics are excellent and the SACD was rated 10... | |
| 3 way vs. 2 way Thanks, Duke. I always learn so much when you contribute to a thread. I also appreciate your forthrightness and the fact that you never push your products and that you use full disclosure. Your willingness to share your knowledge and experience is... | |
| beautiful piano recordings: solo or small ensemble I love Jacques Loussier Plays Debussy. This is a jazz group doing classical and, though aften the crossovers don't work, this one seems to. There is bass and drums added to the piano which gives the peices depth and body. Gorgeous music well recor... |
