| Something similar to Mahler It has to be said. No one is like Mahler! His sound/music is unique. The closest I can think of would be Hans Rott in his Symphony in E (Hyperion). Listen to this and you might think he is composing in Mahler's style, actually he preceeded him a t... | |
| Quit vinyl? CN is spot on! And you would probably be disappointed to discover how little money used LP's and TT's bring on the used market. Keep'm - you'll rest better at night. :-) | |
| Something similar to Mahler What is it that you particularly like about Mahler 3 & 5? Knowing that might help us help you. Like Rob asked, what about the rest of Mahler, are you familar with it? Mahler 6 is one of, and in MHO, his finest - the most beauty, the most patho... | |
| Good Low Level Resolution Speakers under $2K used. Most dynamic speakers don't do low volume well but that has a lot to do with imaging not tonal qualities. What I think may be happening to you is that folks do not hear the lower frequencies at low volume level as well as the upper frequencies. It... | |
| should i do tube? >a tube amp isn't going to make that significant amount of change<IMHO and experience, it makes a rather large change, even if tonally speaking its similar, you loose the liquidity that a tube amp can bring to the system. I have a summer (SS... | |
| Blue Circle CS vs. Unison Unico FWIW, I just went thru this "intellectual" process a few days ago. I'm getting some speakers which should do quite well with 35wts per channel (not much different in actual use than 50wt) and I wanted a secondary source for them. The speakers are ... | |
| How to remove the tube cage SFS-80 Its much simpler that you might think. There a banana type plugs on the four corners of the cage which connect to clips in the top of the amp - they only appear to be tightly gripped. Actually they are not, its just that it takes a bit of initial ... | |
| Project "Cheap Turntable" Neat experiment! Before others just run out any buy some shrink wrap on your recommendation without giving it much thought, how much mass did this shrink wrap actually add to your arm and did it in any way alter the relationship of the mass of the... | |
| Please help, distorted and hissy treble You say cartridge alignment is close, but you have no protractor. Close don't count in TT set up! Get a protractor. If you haven't already, try increasing VTF to max of manufacturers recommended range. And yes, a lot of alblums have groove noise a... | |
| Good Materials for Curtains Probably not talked about much due to the fact that most men don't get to choose - WAF rules. :-) But if I wanted to deaden the sound I would use lined wool. If I wanted to reduce the sound, as in making it diffused, about any other materiel would... | |
| Same CD/Album or Music ,In cable comparison, Very close, but no cigar! As you might have figured out, this was a series of records/cd and the one you displayed was the last one, but don't let that stop you. Buy it!The record I was referring to was "Test Record 1" in the series, "Depth of Ima... | |
| Same CD/Album or Music ,In cable comparison, Because you persist, and because if you can find it it will be of great help to you personally in setting up and evaluating your system - Depth of Image by Opus 3. This is symply recorded acoustic music in various venues by various groups playing ... | |
| Same CD/Album or Music ,In cable comparison, Tvad, I just saw your note - I never did see your post though. Come on, its Saturday and your on the computer. Its been kind of boring around here lately....... | |
| Same CD/Album or Music ,In cable comparison, Creege, I'd didn't mean to imply that your idea was crap (if it appears to you that I did). And I can understand your frustration with reviewers who talk on at length about how some piece of music sounded on two different components, especially wh... | |
| Same CD/Album or Music ,In cable comparison, Creege, Lets get pratical now - Who gets to choose the record(s). Personally, I'd agree to Eva Cassidy, but then I'd never get to listen to the sonics, just Eva. And who really wants to know ***** by heart, its such crap! :-) |
