| Keeping it LOW Opalchip:You HAVE to get your hands on James Carter's "Chasin' the Gypsy"! This guy is the next great tenor player, but get this... He plays BASS sax on the first track of this recording. Yes, I mean bass sax. Incredible. | |
| Grounding problem: I'm clueless Hi folks, thanks for the advice.Opalchip, I just tried to isolate the cause as you suggested. The phonostage without the TT going through it is reaaallly loud. When I plugged the TT directly into the amp, it was silent. Does this mean that my phon... | |
| Need a Recommendation for Classical Cello... "The Swan" by Saint-Saens for Cello and Piano. Gorgeous. Yo Yo has a good one. | |
| Grounding problem: I'm clueless Hi Rar1,Thanks for your response. There has always been a tiny bit of buzz from the amp, but it only got to be a problem when I added the turntable. I don't think I'm using the term "ground plug" correctly. The previous owner attached a metal nub ... | |
| An observation about "Modern" classical music. Hi Brownsfan, fantastic post! I've never heard of Lohrmann, can you tell me a bit about him? Always looking for something new... Are you in Cleveland (I ask because of the moniker)? The Cleveland orch's relationship with Boulez has spawned a lot o... | |
| An observation about "Modern" classical music. Can't sing? | |
| An observation about "Modern" classical music. Shubertmaniac: no, serialism is by definition atonal. It has no tonic. Sometimes a perception of tonality can appear temporarily between related tone rows, but it is never permanent. And I'm afraid it's not correct that serialism uses "all twelve ... | |
| Don't let this happen to you Personally, I love it when people clap between mvmts. It's a signal that more of the uninitiated are experimenting with classical music!There are times when I wish the symphony were more like a football game. It would be awesome to have people sta... | |
| An observation about "Modern" classical music. On the contrary, I'm doing everything I can to suggest ways to improve your perception of "this elite world". I wish you would listen to the pieces I've recommended. I think their appeal is universal. If you're not willing to, that's your loss. | |
| An observation about "Modern" classical music. "This thread is supposed to be about thoughtful analysis." Exactly. This is why I've suggested that you listen to and read about a broader spectrum of modern music before continuing to throw out simplistic generalizations that belie the complexity... | |
| An observation about "Modern" classical music. Eldartford: I see a lot of hypocrisy in stating your musical preference and allowing for disagreement, but then defining "skill", a value judgement, in terms of your own musical tastes. You claim that this "skill" is manifested in "inventiveness w... | |
| An observation about "Modern" classical music. I'm listening to Penderecki's Auschwitz Oratorio as we speak. This is as moving and as viscerally captivating (not to mention disturbing) as anything I've ever heard. Give it a try if you're ready for a very intense musical experience. I'm not sur... | |
| Just bought a nitty gritty, hear no difference. Hi folks, Thanks again for all the help. My turntable is not a beauty, but it certainly is high mass, and the tonearm and cartridge are both good. I'll look into purchasing some of the Audio Intelligent stuff and vacuuming each record multiple tim... | |
| Just bought a nitty gritty, hear no difference. Thanks for the ideas, everyone. I'm using the fluid and applicator supplied by nitty gritty. I've also tried some DiscDoctor D4+ fluid. No difference. Photon46: as noted before, I've vacuum cleaned a large range of records, from perfect ones with ... | |
| Just bought a nitty gritty, hear no difference. Hi Muzikat,Thanks for your response. The records I've cleaned have varied in dirtiness from just a bit of dust to old stains, and everything in between. I haven't heard a difference on a single record.My turntable is ok, a KD-500 from the late 70s... |
