| You are there-they are here Definitely check out the thread Al referenced. I would definitely emphasize the word illusion in your post, though, especially with respect to they are here. Simply not going to happen if you listen to large ensemble music. And I would agree with ... | |
| Listener fatigue: what does it really mean? I would second Brauser's suggestion that you may simply have the volume up too high. A great many audiophiles love to listen at a very high volume level, which will definitely lead to listening fatigue much quicker than listening at reasonable lev... | |
| Ayon Spirit III and Klipsch Cornwalls experience? HI Txguy50 - I use the PrimaLuna Dialogue 2 with my Cornwalls, and it is a nice combo. The Rogue stuff is pretty bright sounding, the PrimaLuna should give you much closer to the sound you are looking for. Another option would be to try an SET int... | |
| Mozart Fans Only The composer who actually went insane was Hugo Wolf, though one could make a case for Schumann as well. | |
| Mozart Fans Only I would second the recommendation for that disc - some friends of mine are on it, though, I should add as a disclaimer. | |
| Upgrade from Rega P3-24 ..... Hi Adam - I know you have said many times you love the Rega sound. Many people who do are not fans of the VPI. I should say that I have no real experience with the VPI tables, and many people love them, this is just what I have heard from many who... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Back to Beethoven - I am about halfway through watching those DVDs I mentioned of Claudio Abbado conducting the Berlin Phil in Rome in 2001. Unbelievable performances - if you have never heard them, you owe it to yourself to do so. Beethoven as it... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Hi Goofyfoot - I used to have a copy of that Glyndebourne one, but I didn't care for it as much as those others I mentioned, so I sold it. Haven't heard the Rene Jacobs. For the period instrument Mozart, I really like Gardiner, though I think I on... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Now I am very curious about that Krips Don Giovanni recording. Krips is an interesting conductor. I have Siepe singing the Don on the Leinsdorf recording, which is nice, and I also like that they recorded all of the opera, even the numbers that ar... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Here's some of mine, in roughly alphabetical order:Louis Armstrong - Hot Five, Hot SevenJohn Coltrane - Giant Steps, Blue TrainMiles Davis - Kind of Blue, Birth of the CoolBill Evans - Waltz for Debby, Sunday at the Village VanguardElla Fitzgerald... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Hi Tostadosunidos - love that moniker, by the way - yes, I would agree with the Hummel/Clementi influences, too, though this would come more from performing their music than actual compositional ideas - Beethoven was far better than either of them... | |
| Best High Efficiency Speakers for full bass tone Yeah, in a room that size I would agree with most here that you will need horns. K-horns are great, or you could go with some Altec A7's, or one of the newer types like the Avantgardes, etc., though those will set you back quite a bit more. Proper... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Hi Goofyfoot - my first thought about your post is to say that to a musician, the fact of performance practices being handed down from teacher to student goes without saying, though I guess that is maybe not so obvious to a layman, so it is good y... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Hello gentlemen (apologies to any ladies reading, but none of you have posted in this particular thread, if memory serves). Goofyfoot - of course, tempi are meant to be flexible - the vast majority of music is almost never metronomic all the way t... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD There are alot of great recommendations and comments here. I also like to see Bob Greenberg's set mentioned - I know him personally, and have always wholeheartedly recommended his series to "laymen" who are interested in learning more about classi... |
