| Best Male Singers of the 20th Century Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. There are a great many reasons why he is one of the most recorded artists in history. Perhaps the greatest lieder singer of all time. | |
| Choice of turntable ,tone arm and cartridge You might try a Rega P9, or one of the top of the line Nottingham tables. | |
| Speakers for classical using my SET rig? Agree with Aball - I have Klipsch Cornwall II's myself. The Altec suggestion is also an excellent one. | |
| Music for Riding a Storm Out? Yikes! Turn your system OFF during a storm!!! | |
| What would you chose? I would agree with some of the posters who said try a different turntable. | |
| The focus and air lie I agree that many audiophiles have completely lost touch with what live music sounds like, in any type of venue, and that it is easier for salesmen to sell the details. However, Nedslions is I think confusing some of his terms. Granted that audiop... | |
| Which Classical Recording is Best? I am a professional symphonic musician, and I would be very interested to hear if any orchestras out there are releasing new recordings on vinyl. To my knowledge, this is not happening anywhere. Many orchestras are releasing recordings that are se... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Tomcy6, let me quote part of your last post - "Sophisticated musicians, not rock, hiphop, etc., must train their ears to be able to play proper pitch, tone, etc. To other people, this practice will interfere with your finding the soul of the music... | |
| is too large a room no good? I agree with Aball, I think horns are by far your best choice in a room of that size. You could come up with some other set-ups that would work, but the horns will be much more energy efficient. | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Kijanki, as you no doubt are aware, every digital processer is totally different, so it is impossible to generalize about all of the different designs. I see, re-reading my post, that that was not worded very well, and was too broad a generalizati... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Tvad, Shadorne, Albertporter, you guys have made my arguments much clearer than I did, and I appreciate it. Once again, I am glad that I decided to become a professional musician instead of writer. You guys both make great points, Newbee as well. ... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Seems simple enough. Obviously the entertainment industry, broadly speaking, has concentrated most of their research on video, not audio. They make much more money off of film than music. Any audiophile who is concerned with the progress of home t... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Tomcy6 - you are correct, there are a great many different perceptions out there in the audiophile world. My well-trained ears remark was meant to be much more specific to professional performing musicians. And yes, we are unfortunately most defin... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Kijanki, your last couple of posts are simply inaccurate. Analog was not made from some digital master tape, except in the last 20 years or so, and as I said before, some of it is still not. Digital recording technology did not even exist before t... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Kijanki, if you are speaking of new recordings, just about all are digitally recorded in the first place. Almost no one does analog recording anymore - digital is so much cheaper, is far easier to edit, and can be done with much less equipment. Ho... |
