| What is the best sounding Mahler symphony cycle? Regarding Fisher and Budapest, I heard them in concert here this year on tour. Their Channel Classics recordings strike me as being faithful at capturing their sonority. They have a lean, finely chiseled sound. Their woodwinds have great charac... | |
| What is the best sounding Mahler symphony cycle? Regarding Haitink/CSO, I live in Chicago and was present at some of the concerts from which the aforementioned recordings were made. My favorite Haitink/CSO Mahler concert was the First, and for some reason I never acquired the recording that was... | |
| What is the best sounding Mahler symphony cycle? I think we are spoiled for choice in Mahler. The greatest Orchestras —in no particular order, the Berliner Philharmoniker (the fashionable way to refer to that ensemble), Vienna Philharmonic, Bavarian Radio Symphony, Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Chi... | |
| Why do Classical CDs sound less Alive/Real/Present ? Classical Music usually isn’t mixed with the “Loudness Wars” mentality. What may sound recessed and laid back to a pop oriented listener may actually be a more faithful reproduction of acoustic instruments in an actual space. It takes a good sys... | |
| What is the best sounding Mahler symphony cycle? I haven’t heard Gergiev in Mahler, but I really dislike the sonics on all of the LSO Live recordings with which I am familiar. There is only so much that can be done with that Dead Concert Hall, the Garbage Can. Let’s hope that Simon Rattle succ... | |
| What is the best sounding Mahler symphony cycle? Hey, is anyone interested in reviving this thread? There have been an awful lot of Mahler recordings released since it petered out and I haven’t heard most of them. I used to be enthusiastic about the MTT/SFSO cycle, but as I have upgraded my sy... | |

| NAS Storage Stream. HELP You just need a NAS with enough storage capacity for your library. Then transfer your various HDs. I use a Synology NAS with a RAID configuration 10 TB capacity. It’s quiet, but in my case it sit in a room separate from my Audio because it nee... | |
| Bluesound Node 2i vs Upscale streamers @larry5729 I haven’t heard the Project DAC but I have read some comments elsewhere that it’s pretty sub par. I had a ProJect headphone amp that I thought was crap and returned it. I can believe that the humble DAC in in the Node2 bested the Pr... | |
| Oppo Sonica Wi-Fi Speaker I’m guessing that the Sonics was released prior to Qobuz entry into the U.S. market. Given the demise of Oppo, I doubt they would add Qobuz support at this point | |
| Great Qobuz streamer. Upgrade from Bluesound Node 2 I use a Bryston BCD3, just a bit outside your price range. They just added Qobuz The software program for the Bryston, Manic Moose, is a mess. It doesn’t navigate Qobuz, or anything else for that matter, very well. I also have to say that when ... | |
