| Classical music thread welcoming your suggestions and why... I’ve been listening to a big box set of Musica Antiqua Koln. There are a lot of the Baroque “usual suspects” here but what is really grabbing me is the Telemann. That composer, who published a veritable ton, is frequently dismissed as being formul... | |
| Sound and music It must be frustrating to be a Composer writing works with little chance of hearing them performed. I marvel at musicians that can study and appreciate a full score that has never been performed or recorded | |
| Need advice on what to purchase to hold 1TB of music and connect to my new Innuos Pulsar. What a stupid decision by the manufacturer to have usb ports that can’t be used used to play stored files. That is such a basic feature of most streamers. I won’t recommend Innous going forward until they change that | |
| Need advice on what to purchase to hold 1TB of music and connect to my new Innuos Pulsar. I second the thumb drive. Have the whole collection in 1 very portable device . I doubt that you will notice a difference in SQ between this and a dedicated SSD | |
| Digital front end upgrade options OP you will definitely note an improvement with either streamer that you are considering, primarily because the DAC in either will be a huge upgrade. So you could just buy a DAC and keep using the computer as a source. I think that you may... | |
| Mac Mini As A Streaming Source I use Apple Music as my streaming source. I use AirPlay from my iPad or Chromecast from my Android phone. Chromecast sounds better. My streamer is Cambridge Audio CXN 60. I didn’t get what amp the OP is using. For silver disc replay connect... | |
| Classical music thread welcoming your suggestions and why... I am not much of a Liszt-o-philiac, as I think there is more style than substance there. Some of the Etudes are nice. Claudio Arrau and Jorge Bolet are enough for me, and Brendel in the Sonata | |
| What's the point of reviewing? @recklesskelly Got any pix of the hot 8th Grade Teacher? I tend to agree with your view point in that seems like the biggest advertisers in the audiophile magazines never seem to rate negative reviews. I also just love reviews that say someth... | |
| Wadia GNSC I thought that Wadia had folded shop years ago | |
| Classical music thread welcoming your suggestions and why... I have been out of town for my mothers funeral so I haven't had a chance to keep up here. I agree that Pollini and Moravec are two very different Debussy players. Moravec has that warm buttery tone while Pollini has such fine etching and leoni... | |
| Am I defective? A lot can depend upon your mood. My mother died a few days ago, and apiece of music that I knew very well and enjoy but not particularly identify with suddenly sounded like a Requiem Mass. | |
| I am interested to update my 15 year old system ! @vonhelmholtz I agree with you on the value of digital vs analog equipment. With digital a relatively small investment will get exceptional results. It tends to get better as you spend more but the ceiling is easily obtainable. An equivale... | |
| Classical music thread welcoming your suggestions and why... I love Pollini. I was asked recently who my favorite pianist was and after a lot of thought, and all the disclaimers that I couldn’t pick just one, etc, I settled on him. The Gramophone did one of their pieces on their favorite recordings of a g... | |
| Classical music thread welcoming your suggestions and why... I had read your previous posts on Celi but I was wondering if you could fit into the context of the present discussion. I do like your analogy of Celi being sort of of the racemic isomer, to use a biochemical term, of Toscanini ; in two dimension... | |
| I am interested to update my 15 year old system ! The PSAudio experience is not unique. I had the same problem with them with a Phono Pre Amp and these Forums are filled with similar stories about their lack of support for various components. The capacitor issue seems to ROP up with a lot of ... |
