| Who Will Stand the Test of Time? I'm with Brownsfan, Frogman, and Al. Great art will always stand the test of time, whether or not the majority of the population is even aware of it or not. Those who are aware will keep it alive. And as Al says, this will go for the best jazz and... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD To clarify the HIP thing - this stands, as someone else said, for Historically Informed Performance. Technically, this can also refer to a performance on modern instruments, using the increased knowledge that we have thanks to scholarship of the l... | |
| Ayon Spirit III and Klipsch Cornwalls experience? HI Donjr - don't know why you would be miffed at my comments. My equipment is very similar to the OPs, and yes, the Rogues are quite a bit brighter sounding with the Cornwall's than the PrimaLuna's, or something else lower-powered would be. The Ro... | |
| Listener fatigue: what does it really mean? I also agree with Mihorn - loud volume itself has a physical impact on the listener. I experience it every day on stage at work, though it does help somehow to be causing some of it as well, blowing back at it, if you will. This is definitely a co... | |
| Listening fatigue My first instinct is to agree with Elizabeth's guess that the sub is the first culprit. | |
| LP collection If I were you, I would at least take some time to educate yourself on which of those records that you have may be very valuable - you could indeed have some real gems in there. If you just want to get rid of all of them quick, then Elizabeth's adv... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hi Orpheus - I will second Frogman and say that your friend MUST have put in very serious hours. Also, the process of jazz musicians who haven't played together before but who sound like they have is not so mystifying as it may seem. Each jazz sta... | |
| Now what? Hi Foster - I was confused by your post at first, since I agree with it 100%. Then I realized that it was mine that was unclear, as usual. I meant it to refer to my equipment, not necessarily the OPs or anyone else's. I was just trying to suggest ... | |
| How Do I Rip a CD with Best results on a MacPro Hi Stringreen - I do not do anything special, so you may get some better suggestions from others, and I look forward to some other responses. On the suggestion of a Mac using friend, I downloaded a free program called Burn, and that's all I use wi... | |
| Now what? I am frankly puzzled by your first sentence. The Apollo takes several seconds on average to read what type of disc you have inserted and changes it's settings accordingly. I have never had a problem with it not reading a disc properly, in fact tha... | |
| Aging and Treble and Income? I think Schubert is correct. Today's hifi industry is not at all geared toward classical music, as the original industry was. They assume that people are listening to mostly electronically produced music. This obviously makes a huge difference, as... | |
| Upgrade from Rega P3-24 ..... Hi Adam - that link you posted is dead. | |
| Mozart Fans Only Agree 100% with Frogman on the Gran Partita - a must for Mozart chamber music. He also wrote much other fine wind music, especially for the wind octet, and also arranged a few of his operas for that ensemble. If I could form any chamber ensemble I... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I understand your bowing out here completely, even though you are completely correct. Rok2id, please do not take offense, but you are demonstrating a fine example of that old phrase "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing." There is no o... | |
| Mozart Fans Only I am actually very surprised that others on this board even know who Rott is. Certainly not someone the average classical music lover would ever have heard of. Kudos to Brownsfan! |
