| anyone else was present? I saw Sylvian a few years back in Toronto. His solo performance was one of the most moving live concerts I've ever seen. I am rarely moved by non-classical music, but Sylvian has always been an exception. I live near Cleveland, and I was disappoin... | |
| Pipe Dreams Here in Cleveland, we also get the syndicated program, "Pipe Dreams". It's a great program, and I sometimes get to listen to it in the car, but I don't have a "real" tuner in my two-channel system.On one of the local classical stations (WCLV, whic... | |
| What are the best sounding classical CDs I agree with many of the observations regarding DG CDs, but I look at my CD collection, and a fairly high percentage of the recordings are on DG. If you listen to more modern classical music, you will find that there is very often only one recordi... | |
| Movies with... Not a movie, but I'm pretty sure I saw a pair of Red Rose speakers (surprise) on Levinson's wife's show (Sex and the City).-Kurt | |
| Another 'hum' thread... I don't have a cable tv hooked up to the system, and I had the same problems with another brand of cables (HT). I will check out the solder joints at the outputs. I appreciate everyone's help!Thanks,Kurt Jeffers | |
| Problem with FedEx Ground Shipping? I work for a company that ships about 1000 packages a day via Fed-Ex Ground (RPS), UPS, Airborne, DHL and several other carriers, and I have found that the ground services are very similar in the number of packages that are lost or damaged. You wi... | |
| Interconnects with Meridian 508.24? I use HT Pro-Silway Mk IIs with my 508.24 and throughout my system. I also use RCA because my preamp is not balanced. The Pro-Silways were a significant improvement over the other brands I tried (DH-Labs, Audioquest--middle range, and kimber selec... | |
| What does "jitter" sound like???? Pick up a copy of Stereophile's Test Disk #2. There's a jitter demonstration track on it that will show you what it sounds like. It won't necessarily help you to recognize when you are hearing it on your own player, though. If you have never heard... | |
| Which is better, live performance or on your system? I recently (back in February) saw Eighth Blackbird, a group of five talentend young proponents of contemporary concert music, play in a hall that was simply too large for a chamber group. The concert was very exciting, and the group was both music... | |
| Speaker dilema? Maggies, Newforms, or Merlins I have to concur with Vince. I have compared the Merlins, which I currently own, to the Magnepans. The Magnepans have a beautiful airy, wide and transparent soundstage, as can be expected from a dipole speaker. The Merlins, however, surprisingly h... | |
| Have you "lied" to yourself? I agree with Mkaes. Aside from speaker upgrades that I have made, I have never really noticed big differences until I have taken OUT the new components and replaced them with the old. It's always so profoundly disappointing to spend several thousa... | |
| Belated obituary to a jazz great Sdcampbell, sounds like that show, "Murder She Wrote", starring Angela Lansbury--bringer of death. I've got a recital of some of my works coming up in the Cleveland area. Please don't attend. Anyway, I, too, was saddened at the passing of Joe Hend... | |
| Dogs who love music My wife used to have a cat who would literally bounce off the walls to Rage Against the Machine's Bulls on Parade. Not my sort of music, but who am I to judge the tastes of a cat?k | |
| Kudos to several dealers I've got to mention both C.C. Poon of Monarchy Audio and Bobby Palkovic of Merlin. Both are very helpful, generous and kind gentleman. I have only been to one dealer who hasn't treated me like crap, and that is Progressive Audio in Columbus, OH. E... |
