| Nuprime CD Transport. Any experience? It seems kind of pricey. I had a NuPrime Headphone Amp that died after two days, fortunately still under warranty, but that scared me off the company. Cambridge Audio would be my choice | |
| Any experience with Mini DSP SHD Studio in 2 ch system? I use the mini in a 2 channel system, but i still have a pre amp | |
| Looking for 2.1 Digital preamp recommendation Didn't Parasound make some kind of smallish preamp? I haven't look at it in a while... | |
| SQ difference XLR vs RCA ? Probably not... | |
| What the ship just happened? Did the amp work? | |
| Mozart-Clarinet Quintet Of course we know that Hector Berlioz conceived the idea for the saxophone and then conveyed that idea to instrument make Adolphe Saxe. Berlioz wanted the new instrument to be known as the "Berliozophone", but Saxe apparently had other ideas... | |
| Mozart-Clarinet Quintet Between @twoleftears @frogman my knowledge of the Clarinet has increased several fold. Thank you both | |
| Good-sounding audio components? All of the above, and I would add try to audition a piece in your own system. If there are still bricks and mortar stores in your area and they will allow for such a thing, then great, but I would also strongly reward them by giving them your bus... | |
| B.S. Node 2i brick (yet another one) I wish I had a better answer for you. I bought 2 Nodes and the Vault2 about 5 years ago with the idea of doing a multi room setup. The Vault and one of the Nodes died. One of the Nodes is still working in a secondary system where it doesn't get... | |
| SkyfiAudio Haven’t bought from them, but if they do a good job refurbishing and packaging , and if they are fair in their resolutions, then I support them. I have bought enough vintage gear that was in crappy shape, either as a fault of the owner or the shi... | |
| Which component to upgrade 1st ? I would ditch the tt and add the funds to budget for the best DAC and streamer combination. The Node is ok but at this point you are very source deficient | |
| Mozart-Clarinet Quintet Btw the Basset Clarinet first appeared around 1770, and Stadler’s instrument was thought to have been built in 1788. Since being revived , Contemporary Composer Joan Tower wrote a Concerto for it around 25 years ago | |
| Mozart-Clarinet Quintet +1 @edcyn Too civilized? In our world that becomes a necessity. If I had to pick one piece that can wipe out a bad day for me, it is the Quintet | |
| Mozart-Clarinet Quintet @twoleftears +1 The changes to the clarinet are extensive, but arguably the changes in the horn from Mozart’s time to the present must be of more significance. Mozart wrote his four concertos for a valveless horn, and the player has to do all... | |
| Mozart-Clarinet Quintet I will concede in my expertise on the history of the clarinet to @twoleftears , but. I am wondering what you know about the Basset Clarinet |
