| Best Sounding Bruckner Recordings The boxed set I own is with the New Philharmonia/ Philharmonia released in 2012 on EMI. I see on Qobuz these are now branded Warner. The performances range from 1960 to 1970, so very late period Klemperer. | |
| Which of these power cords ? Some of the companies you listed have a trial period with a return policy. Take advantage of this.I agree that Cullen is a best buy. I have some thousand dollar Audience cables but since I discovered the Cullen Crossover PC, I've been adding them ... | |
| Best Sounding Bruckner Recordings Klemperer's Bruckner is excellent and is how I imagine early Bruckner was performed. I'd love to hear these performances on vinyl. I own the CD boxed set and although I enjoy it and has been well remastered by EMI, it's far from sounding like ana... | |
| Best Sounding Bruckner Recordings Karajan's performances of Bruckner #4, 7, 8 on EMI circa 1970 are magnificent IMO. The young Karajan with his Berliners approach Bruckner slowly and with such passion. These are the recordings that move me.@mahler123, I absolutely agree with you r... | |
| New power cord? IME, the cable from wall receptacle to power conditioner has a major impact on SQ.And a dedicated line to the service panel is a major upgrade as well. | |
| connecting B&W 683s1 to amp? help please? A single set of high quality speaker cables with jumpers will sound much better than cheap biwire (as seen in your link).You can strip any piece of wire to make jumpers. Lamp cord or an extra extension cord will do temporarily. Then order a set of... | |
| Best Sounding Bruckner Recordings @brownsfan , I agree with you regarding Von K's Bruckner. I like a couple of his interpretations, but in general I don't hear of feel the different emotions in his Bruckner. | |
| Trust Schiit Loki @ghosthouse, very interesting. Thank you for that info. | |
| Best Sounding Bruckner Recordings @roxy1927,Audience noise is minimal from what I recall. It's not filled with coughing and such, maybe some movement in the seats. Overall, these are compelling performances. I generally like Furtwängler's changes in tempo, except in a few areas wh... | |
| Best Sounding Bruckner Recordings Gunther Wand/BPO Live (RCA Red Seal) is my go to for excellent performances with great sound. The imaging and detail revealed is exceptional for non-audiophile releases.Giulini with the VPO (DG) is a favorite even with the over-mic'd brass section... | |
| Upgrading Tube Preamp from Audio Research LS-7 - Recommendations for better soundstage? Audio Note M2 preamp, about $1500 used. Uses 6SN7 in the gain stage, tube rectifier and regulator.Music is realistic with a wide and deep soundstage. | |
| Trust Schiit Loki @newbee , dont know.My issue is that I'm using very good IC's; Siltech and Silent Source, and would hate to insert a weak link between them that changes their presentation. I suppose a low priced LPS like a Teradak is better than a wall-wart. | |
| Trust Schiit Loki I'm thinking about adding a Loki to my all tube system. Music sounds wonderful except for some classical digital with the "edge" or harshness in the highs. Specifically close mic'd brass sections.Has anybody tried using a linear power supply with ... | |
| Help a digital luddite Oh yes, another good feature with the Bluesound is internet radio. I listen to some classical stations from Germany. And it also streams your local radio and indicates the sampling rates.@soix , can the kids stream the subscription service thru th... | |
| Help a digital luddite I'm using coax from my Bluesound Node2i to my Dac. I have a very good CD setup and streaming comes very close to it in terms of quality. And it's more fun with almost unlimited choices in music.The quality of the cable (USB, coax) does make a diff... |
