| Classical Aficionados: Please Suggest Debussy Solo Piano recordings stuartk, Good move on the Debussy selection, he is currently my 1st choice. I’m not not sure where to take you on further selections, You haven’t mentioned any other composers you may have already heard and liked or not. Personally I listen a lot ... | |
| New amps It's possible but not for any reason than to alter the speakers reaction, tonally, to the new amp. If, for example the new amp enhances the bass too much, then you might move the speakers a bit to change the bass tone. Ditto the highs. But it seem... | |
| Classical Aficionados: Please Suggest Debussy Solo Piano recordings edcyn, Glad you like it. You just can't have too much Debussy. :-) Now for something a bit more relaxed, try Ogawa's. She's really pretty good! Recording is too. | |
| Schumann's Piano Quartet / Piano Quintet I can recommend the piano quartet as performed by The Florestan Trio with Thomas Riebl and recorded by Hyperion. It is accompanied by two of Schumann’s works for Piano, Fantasiestucke and Piano Trio #3. If you like the piano trio I can also recomm... | |
| What is the most challenging music to play on a stereo? I started to say 'Piano' because of the dynamic range and impact of a Grand Piano. Tough to set up a system that can do this, even if you've found a recording where the engineer had succeeded. But on reflection it has to be classical orchestral m... | |
| Sat front row at the symphony... You are not wrong. The best home set up, at any price, cannot even come close to a live SO. Don't shoot your audio system. It just ain't going to happen. At its best it just gives you a faint idea of what the music is all about. My last live event... | |
| Audio Alchemy Nostalgia Trip Welcome to hog heaven! Don't change a thing. Don't even be tempted. Be happy! | |
| Left Channel Out Primaluna Dialogue Premium FWIW, IME, you have a power tube failure which has tripped your fuse (?) in the bias circuit. I,'m not sure what the 'fusing' is for your unit. I have two PL's, one with a fuse and another with a circuit breaker type which supposedly just needs to... | |
| Classical Aficionados: Please Suggest Debussy Solo Piano recordings I erred! I left off Mitsuko's last name. Uchida. So much for my proof reading!:-) | |
| Sound level listening 75 to 80 db. Medium sized room. Classical and jazz music. | |
| Classical Aficionados: Please Suggest Debussy Solo Piano recordings I think some of the finest, and current, recordings are the complete set issued individually, by Jean-Efflam Bavouzet on the Chandos label. Another set issued individually is by Noriko Ogawa on BIS. Very different from Bavouzet, more relaxed perha... | |
| Goodbye Everyone lewm, FWIW I meant well but then baseball was never my game. :-) | |
| Goodbye Everyone FWIW I can relate to your thoughts/position. For myself, I usually post to stimulate thoughts, not so much to provide specific answers. For the most part I think I have the wrong audience. Yet I stay and try. This forum really needs folks like yo... | |
| A simple tube hack I've been using tubes for many years. I used to use rubber tube rings on small tubes and metal fins on power tubes (which looked cool) but in the long run I found that the tubes I used did not really benefit the sound because they didn't need the ... | |
| Does anybody pay a pro to dial their system in? If I had to exist in a 12x8 room (audio wise) I’d look for ’perfection’ in a headphone system. I believe a good speaker based audio system needs ’breathing room’ that doesn’t exist in a room that small, whereas a high end phone system can create a... |
