Bass leaves after amp warms up?
Agree...take the cover off, it's the only thing you haven't tried. Put your trust in Al and Mapman. 
Bass leaves after amp warms up?
I'm jumping in here since I own PSB Synchrony's and I think Almarg and Mapman are correct in that your 4 ohm speaker requires an amp with higher current. At times, your speaker may even drop below 4 ohms. mapman..."One red flag I see that might he...

I would love to own a good R-R deck. From what I know of DG history, they and decca were tops for classical. They merged w. Polygram 1972; funny that they started to have problems in the mid 70s and then they had trouble adapting to Digital. From ...

"I just wish there could be more of an emphasis put on live recordings and damn the mistakes, that's just part of the process."I love live recordings in a good concert hall, and not only that, I wish a classical work would be recorded continuously...

"Plus the remastering and restoration releases from Andante, d'Orfeo, Testament, Music and Arts of America, and Pearl."and I'm glad we have companies like these (also the Cheskys) to preserve the great music of the past. The major record labels ei...

Goofyfoot, you are correct that there is plenty of high quality music today, but look at the labels u have listed; they are all indies or niche labels. I was referring to a time when the mega-labels were buying up the quality labels and their stud...

Well said, Brownsfan. That generation of brilliant recording engineers is long gone; and the music business along with it.I have some very good late 1950s recordings from EMI. It's a shame that DG had a hold on many of the best artists.

Brownsfan...sorry i missed your post. That reason makes the most sense.

Goofyfoot... I don't mean to beat the subject of Karajan to death, but I find it curious that Nos. 3 & 4 are so superior to the rest of the set and meanwhile there exists the Japanese SHM of 3 & 4. One would assume the DG engineers did not...

Goofyfoot, do you know for certain that the LvB 3 and 4 included in the box set are Shm-CD remasters? I have not been able to find that info. I did find this Shm-CD...http://www.amazon.com/Beethoven-Symphony-No-9-Chora-Shm-CD/dp/B000VZE08C/ref=wl_...

To Brownsfan, Goofyfoot, Lloydelee21, et al...I finally received the Karajan 1962 SACD Remaster Set and my impression is very mixed. Now FYI, I am playing CD only and comparing this set to the original red and gold box set which I have owned for m... 
Dear Moderator
There are now dealers selling Bob's hand-built gems. Compare that quality to a Chinese factory. I should grab some Cherry 180s fast.
