| Who Will Stand the Test of Time? I would not be surprised if people play John Williams (Star Wars, Jaws, Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, ET, etc)for a long time to come. I have noticed whether its Mozart, Beethoven or others...when anyone off the street can whistle a bit of the tune... | |

| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Hi Merlinus, thanks for that. I see where you are coming from on Beethoven and grand sweeping scale. I have to admit...i like the smaller scale Missa Solemnis from Sir John Eliot Gardiner. Extremely well put together...but much smaller scale. What... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Thanks!! Maybe when i get around to it...i will give Jarvi a try. Is there a particular Jarvi recording/mastering you recommend? (the equivalent of the '63 von Karan)? | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Goofyfoot. Thank you! Yes, i own that set among other individual CDs...there were still a few CDs i went after individually from specialst remastering companies (Tahra from France) who had done some of his top rated symphonies. Enjoy them all. Wha... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Congrats, Merlinus! I was pretty impressed by the 'regular remastered hybrid SACD set' of his 9 symphonies from the '63 era. Enjoy! I admit i listen to von Karajan the most for all but the 9th where i enjoy Harnancourts' version quite a lot. | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Thanks Oldears...will get around to listening to them at some point. I have full sets from Furtwangler (tried to get each individual of the most recommended from his various symphonies...mainly during WWII but also from Vienna in early '50s), von ... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD I have heard good things about the Paavo Jarvi Beethoven symphonies...how good is the recording/mastering? Sounds promising... | |

| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Hey GFoot, What is your view on Penguin Guide to Classical? I have enjoyed going thru mine and have bought many based on their recommendation...over time, i have expanded by buying additional ones not included there, and in a few cases disagreed. ... | |
| USB DAC with conventional transport ??? Thanks, Al...guess you can tell i am only a redbook cd guy with a transport! ;) Only fleeting interest in servers for now. will make sure to post here before i ever do investigate servers properly! | |
| How to evaluate CD DAC vs. outboard DAC quality A topic of nearly infinite debate. If you have no interest in computer audio, i will say that DAC quality in my experience is all over the place...huge variances. In general the trend is clearly that price/performance is improving dramatically. th... | |
| USB DAC with conventional transport ??? Could you use an spdif-usb converter? I have heard good things about them, though acknowledge each time you insert a new component in between 2 existing components, there is a risk of degradation. Nevertheless, it is just a thought, in terms of ge... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Hey Lowrider,look forward to your impressions of the Karajan '63 original CD vs the Remaster. I felt the Remasters were definitely better...no, not the best remaster/CD i have by some margin. Its not a MA Recordings or even an FIM remaster of an o... | |
