| Sibelius Symphonies vanska on bis - all 7, my favorites. also ashkenazy, blomstedt on all 7 and levine on 2 & 5. | |
| Room setup vs. longer interconnects if your preamp can drive the cables, everything else being equal, you should hear no substantive difference. i drive 7 meter lengths with no loss (cardas cable - arc preamp). | |
| Symphony Recommendation sugarbrie, could be the masur w/nyp. wasn't my favorite. i guess if he has harnoncourt he can just ignor the recommendation. there are a lot of excellent dvorak 9ths out there but he was looking for sota sonic's........... | |
| Symphony Recommendation kleiber on dg for the 5th - this is easily the most exciting beethoven 5th recorded. don't let its age bother you, the performance will make up for any sonic deficiencies due to age.re dvorak's 9th, for sonics and performance, harnoncourt on telde... | |
| What are the best sounding classical CDs which composers? what style? | |
| Good upgrade amp for my Thiel 3.6s personally, i wouldn't buy any of the solid state amps except the threshold without listening first (because i'm familiar with it), and i would certainly want to hear the plinius - from what i have read and been told your can get a 250IV in your p... | |
| The Soundlabs must go-any thoughts on substitutes? verity audio parsifals. don't over look these. and they love tubes. they are my next speaker...........my quads are already in the attic. | |
| Amplifier Orientation? two issues to deal with if you are saying that you want to stand your amps on their ends assumiong that they do not have cooling fans: `1, standing them on their ends could diminish the flow of cool air, i.e. the hot air flow off the lower tubes w... | |
| Good upgrade amp for my Thiel 3.6s justin, either amp would power your thiels to your hearts content. you will have the classic ss/tubes question to resolve however. you will give up some of the airiness of tubes with the threshold - you will also give up the not inconsiderable exp... | |
| Good upgrade amp for my Thiel 3.6s this is sort of ancient history, but i believe when thiel was making the 3.5 they voiced it with threshold. i used a threshold sa50 class a amp - it was the only amp i found which could give me a balanced sound. i do not know what amp thiel used t... | |
| Jazz with less horns?? if you like solo piano, trios and quartets which are on the mellow side, try bill evans stuff. he is one of jazz's greats from the 60's. | |
| Rosemary Clooney / Shirley Horn / Peggy Lee three more shirley horn alblums, all on verve. you won't forget me, close enough for love, and here's to life. i agree with drubin on i thought about you and i have heard it so often i use it as a reference testing equipment. | |
| Audio Research pro's-what pre-amp to choose? interesting question! i have a mesa baron and fairly neutral speakers. i find the top end of the baron can be a problem with a lot of preamps. i have been usng an arc sp10 with good results. i use 6h23eb's in the line stage of the sp10 and yugo el... | |
| Why is my Audio Research SP6-b noisy? steve, do i assume correctly that you first noticed the hiss when you started using the horn speakers? if that is so, then you are the victim of their efficiency. i've noticed the same thing with an sp10 which is very sensitive to tube noise. one ... | |
| How to store extra turntable belts? vacumn sealed plastic bag works best. second best is a sealed plastic bag with most of the air removed. keep in a cool dark dry place. i can't see much benefit from refrigeration. |
