| Reference Level Recording of Classical on CD's? Toufu - after I posted I noticed that you had specified Mozart late piano concerti and symphonies. I indicated my choices for the piano concerti in the earlier post. As to late symphonies my highest recomendation with no reservations is Bernstein ... | |
| Reference Level Recording of Classical on CD's? A sampling as a starter. I listed first those recordings that have impressive sound and, except where noted, are very good performances.

| Best all around speakers There is no ambiguity in the text of the post to which you initially commented. I did not refer to live performances. All references to specific equipment and to systems in general were to home audio systems. The OP did not refer to live performan... | |
| Bi-wiring with different metals? Copper vs silver conductors will not cause a phase shift in you application. Over long lengths of cable the different resistivity of the conductors and, more importantly the different cross sections of the conductors would interact with the I,C, a... | |
| speakers for classical music Learsfool: Thank you for your detailed and informative reply. Truly a scholar and a gentleman. | |
| Best all around speakers Dcstep: You misconstrued the content of my post by inserting your own thoughts within that post and making connections that were not present but rather were distinguished. The statement regarding sympathy for the devil was a separate and independe... | |
