| Who is your Favorite Historical Conductor? @mahler123 I listened to the Pristine version of Furtwängler's Beethoven no. 3 (1944) and the sound is astonishing. Going from memory, it sounds way better than Music & Arts. I assume they're the same performance. Do u know if the rest of th... | |
| Who is your Favorite Historical Conductor? I contacted High Def Tape Transfers for some info. There are a few options for download; DSD, DXD FLAC, PCM FLAC. Since I no longer have a computer audio setup, I asked about discs. They stopped selling Hires DVD, I doubt there was much demand. G... | |
| Who is your Favorite Historical Conductor? @goofyfoot Nice find. This looks very interesting. I'd like to see (hear) if they were able to improve the dry, lean DG recordings. I wonder if they're paying for the rights to sell copyrighted material. | |
| Who is your Favorite Historical Conductor? @mahler123 I'm a big fan of Brahms no. 2, but apparently the performance isn't the whole story on this disc. Thank you for adding the historical details of that night. I didn't know about this. I'll read more about it online. Furtwängler was w... | |
| Who is your Favorite Historical Conductor? @goofyfoot , thanks. I found it on Qobuz and it does sound very good. Listening to his Brahms no.4 right now. I have the Music & Arts Beethoven and the Bruckner, both live. I believe some of these early recordings needed to be restored so not ... | |
| Do older power cables still hold up to newer ones? @fthompson251 that's my suggestion, to update your amp before buying new cables. The VAC is a wonderful amp. | |
| Do older power cables still hold up to newer ones? Upgrade your amp first. In the meantime, research power cables. Don't listen to @jasonbourne52 , he believes wire is wire. And he's quite possibly an alchemist. | |
| Need cable advice tome reduces mids It very well could be a synergy issue. But first, what is the size and layout of your room? Are you using any wall treatments to absorb standing waves? I'm referring to mid to high frequencies. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes @arcfan I hope you return them. Did you buy from an Ebay vendor? | |
| I Almost Forgot To Listen To This Today Awesome iso footage. Danny Carey has mad skills and his style and drum kit suit Tool well. As a drummer I never liked Roto Toms (too flat sounding) but DC knows how to tune and mic them. | |
| Best interconnects from preamp to amps, within budget Many places can made a bespoke length, if one is adverse to using a soldering iron themselves. And that same 2534 can be used for XLRs. Yes. My Mogami assembled by World’s Best Cables through Amazon came with gold-plated Neutrik XLR’s made in J... | |
| Best interconnects from preamp to amps, within budget Mogami 2534 Quad wire. I purchased 6ft made by World's Best for about $70 on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00P0HKW7E/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_CVGG8QHM2SG8G756BK7X_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 | |
| SkyfiAudio Their advertised items always pique my interest but the outrageous pricing ends it. I was just on their site, only because the OP mentioned a sale, the prices I saw are closer to reality. If they had sale items more often, I wouldn't hesitate to c... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes And after buying so many NOS and "almost NOS" during the tube panic, I couldn't afford an expensive pair of Linlai Globals. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Just to refresh my evaluations. The bottom line is: I had the 2 different tubes at the same time. There is a difference between the Global & the non Global in my system. Why don't members just try for themselves @ the cost of return shipping.... |
