| Best full orchestra recordings? Yes, Ashkenazy is more taut but there's something about Previn's Symphony #1 and the Dances that is lacking in Ashkenazy's otherwise superb recordings.Kal | |
| Best full orchestra recordings? Which recording of the Symphonic Dances? Everyone seems to tout the Johanos/Nonesuch(or Classic or MF) but I prefer Ashkenazy/Decca or the Previn/EMI. The latter is a little too full in the midbass but otherwise big and spacious. | |
| Everyone Knows About Jacintha, Right? We all do but some of us find her beautifully boring.Kal | |
| Revel Gem Positioning and Tweeter Settings OK. I don't have them but my daughter does. We have hers set up on slide-out supports so that, when not in use, they can be hidden inside a wall-unit. When in use, their backs are about 1.5 feet from the wall-unit, their bottoms about 36" from the... | |
| Apogee Duetta Sig + Sonic Frontiers Power 2 SE I had good results with Duettas and the original Power2. OTOH, the Power3 amps seemed more relaxed at the same and adequate levels. My reviews of the amps (which probably contain more than I can recall at the moment) are probably accessible via ww... | |
| Can I bi-wire from my sub woofer? There is no point to biwiring from sub to speakers.Kal | |

Some are tape head inputs which are like phono inputs in that they have much greater gain and special EQ compared to line level inputs.Wh... | |
| Hum and hiss with Rives Parc ??? The PARC was one of the most dead silent components I've ever used. Have you tried bypassing the power conditioner and just plugging it into the wall? | |
| bi-amping question It is not the wattage you have to match; it is the sensitivity and gain. That said, you will find it hard to do without introducing a gain control on one or the other amp (whichever has the higher gain). Whatever.Kal | |
| Best Line conditioner under $1000 used Run the dedicated line(s) and then see if you need to add anything. I experienced much improvement in the sound after doing so in our 100year+ old house. After all, conditioners are only needed to correct something on the AC.BTW, while you are at ... | |
| Any one heard "The Five Browns"? Eh.Kal | |
| Connoisseur tonearm ? Where are the gimbals? If they are vertical and horizontal, it's a Grace. If they are at +/-45deg, it's the Connoisseur.Kal | |
| Anyone try APC's conditioner? Expecting one in about 2 weeks.Kal |
