| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? A low noise floor is required for holographic imaging. This improves dynamics, transparency, depth.It's true that if it's not recorded that way, it wont play back with holography.Great example is with Wagner and Strauss, the solo horn in the dist... | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? I agree with you @twoleftears, I love when the 3D image extends far into the front wall. As long as the soundstage is proportional; width, height, and depth, it sounds great to me.On my system each recording presents different imaging, which I gu... | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? It's true that a live classical performance is not holographic, but with good acoustics it does sound layered. That's why I dislike many modern close mic'd recordings. The imaging is flat; how many orchestras have the brass section seated up front... | |

| Does anyone use white gloves to handle records? Same with PS Audio components. They come with a pair of white gloves to protect the finish. | |

| The Music Room @djones51, ok, so same situation as me. I wish I was given an explanation by the rep for the low price. | |

| Classical Recordings from the Golden Age Szell is one of my absolute favs. Dont think I've heard any young Szell performances. That's a very expensive set, I'll look for some of his early work.I wanted to expand on my thoughts of buying early performances, even if they're remasters. I'm ... | |
| Classical Recordings from the Golden Age Orfeo has an excellent website. Is the music for sale or is this only an archive? I didn't see any pricing.I'm really interested in the Salzburg Festival section of live broadcasts. There are so many available.I'm going to spend some time looking ... | |
| Classical Recordings from the Golden Age Very interesting comments made by Rachmaninoff in 1931..."To me it seems that the modern gramophone and modern methods of recording are musically superior to wireless transmission in every way"This sounds like the current debate of the SQ of physi... | |
| Classical Recordings from the Golden Age @goofyfoot ,That’s some good info, thanks. I have been directed to the record label websites when using Google. I should go to the label sites more often, good idea.I have a couple of Salzburg Festival discs; think I will start Googling them. I al... | |
| Does anyone use white gloves to handle records? I always wash my hands before handling vinyl.With regard to tubes, there is a debate over how to handle the glass envelope. I agree with many of the tube vendors that it’s fine to handle tubes with clean bare hands. The printing on most NOS tubes ... | |
| linn sondek tt I'm not up on the latest TT's since I've been upgrading my digital.Dont know of a better TT rig since I've been out of the game, but I do love the sound of a Linn. I think you can get many XL TTs for that amount, but it's a matter of taste. If I c... | |
