| Hum from Plasma TV to start with, some possibilities...1. Is TV and hifi on the same AC line? If so, plug TV into a different AC outlet/breaker to prevent ground loop. 2. Is the speaker too close to the TT or does it not have enough isolation? Vibration from speaker... | |
| General question about Linn Axis Hinges are always popping up on ebay. But you should confirm that they fit the Axis.http://www.ebay.com/itm/LINN-SONDEK-LP12-AXIS-BASIK-TURNTABLE-DUST-COVER-HINGES-/380581754760?pt=Turntable_Parts_Accessories&hash=item589c70b788In my experienc... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Almarg's post reminded me of the Chesky series of Beethoven;Rene Leibowitz/Royal Philharmonic. These were recorded in 1960 and have superb sound thanks to Chesky's tube-based remastering system. Terrific performances with the most analogue sound I... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Goofyfoot...I wish I knew about Furtwängler on Orfeo D'Or before I purchased the EMI separates. thanks for the info. | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD This is the DG remaster, correct?http://www.amazon.com/Beethoven-The-Symphonies-Gundula-Janowitz/dp/B0000C03AH | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Brownsfan, I'm glad u found it. I have too many cds on order right now so I'll have to wait on the Karajan. If u are seriously looking for a Brahms cycle on CD, I suggest Giulini/VPO on Newton Classics 1991. His Brahms is slower and he reveals eve... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Brownsfan, have u seen this 1963 set...http://www.amazon.com/Beethoven-9-Symphonies-Gundula-Janowitz/dp/B000001GBQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1361404079&sr=1-1&keywords=karajan+beethovenReading the user reviews makes it even mo... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Goofyfoot..there is a Karajan LvB cycle with the Philharmonia from 1950 on EMI.Don't know much about it. | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Brownsfan, I need to make a point, then ask a question. The 1980s performances are inferior to the 1963, but the Karajan Gold remasters are an improvement over that awful boxed-set, plus I am taking into consideration that Karajan is 80 years old.... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Tostadosunidos, good question. The Box set was remastered and the result was the Karajan Gold set. All 9 symphonies released as separates. Although slightly bright, they lack the harshness of early DG digital. With my tube CDP, they sound open, we... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Goofyfoot, I think the later and current DG CDs are excellent quality and the Berliner Philharmonie concert hall clearly has good sonics. I do know that during the mid 70s to mid 80s, Bernstein(in Vienna) and Karajan were making very different dem... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Brownsfan...that's very interesting and may account for the change in sound during that period. I just listened to Karajan 1963 and though lacking the detail of modern recordings, the overall balance is excellent. The later Beethoven and Schumann ... | |
| 1/2 speed cutting not usually so good? "The quality of a record starts with the quality of the master tape, the lathe, the skill and care of the people involved, the demand for perfection... Sometimes the reissues are great, sometimes the old-fashioned older pressings are better." Cutt... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD "The OP was looking for top notch recordings with good performances. For me, the analog DG recordings of the Berliner made in the Jesus Christus Kirche were good, but when they changed the recording venue and went to digital recordings forget it. ... | |
| Square room Soundstage?? BTW, what speakers are you using? As suggested room treatment is vital. Also any furniture or cabinet hifi rack between the speakers will prevent wide soundstaging. A small, open-shelved rig is probably OK. Look how many virtual systems have their... |
