A couple of CD sets some of you may like, a lot. I do anyway.Sokolov  The Salzburg Recital and Sokolov  Schubert //Beethoven. The former is mainly Mozart and Chopin and the second, as the title suggests, Beethoven and Schubert. Both live recitals ... 
How important is it for you to attain a holographic image?
Boxer12, Often reflective side walls can be conquered by simple, but radical toe of the speakers, with out the need of using ugly treatments on the walls to deaden high frequency reflections. Often, not always. Give it a try if you already haven't... 
Buy 12ax7 tube
lowrider, I think that the company that made the the SED Winged C El34 (the old Svetlana in St Petersberg) is not the company that took on the Svetlana name and now markets the 12AX7 and other tubes labeled Svetlana. I don't think that the St Pete... 
Buy 12ax7 tube
Apart from the primary consideration that must be made, i.e. any tube's potential to synergize with your other components, speakers, room acoustics, etc, assuming you want a neutal tube, ala the Telefunken, which I consider one of the best, you mi...

rvpiano, For the sake of clarity, consider that in my ’offending post’ I was directly addressing Goeff, Orpheus10, and yourself, separately. In my comment to you I said "just as someone might revel in his.....",meaning Orpheus10 .Should I have int... 
How important is it for you to attain a holographic image?
rvpiano, FWIW, I don’t understand why I would need to apologize to you. The comments in my 1/13/19 post certainly could be construed by someone as negative, but they were not directed toward you. At least that was not my intent. In fact I thought ...

rvpiano, I treat the term 'ignorant' as a pejorative one, and would typically use 'uninformed' in its place if I had to use any at all. You’ve never posted anything that caused me to think in that context when reading your posts. I saw your posts ...

+2 geoffkait. I think most folks have not actually heard a system with a potential to reproduce ’real’ holographic soundstage, just as I think there are dammed few recordings which contain the necessary information to produce one.orpheus10, "let m...

Orpheus10, Out of curiosity, what is the brand of the 'new' tube? 
How important is it for you to attain a holographic image?
Orpheus10, This may be of absolutely no help to you at all, but Telefunken machinery was purchased by EI ('yugos') before the 'war' and they made tubes with the sonic signature of the Tele's. I've used 12AU7A as well as 12AX7a, the latter of which...

Talking about Rachmaninoff doing Rachmaninoff ...Telarc made two recordings of piano rolls performances by Rachmaninoff doing his own works for solo piano on one CD and the works of others on a second one. The CD's are titled 'A Window in Time'. A...

Amazing isn’t it that you heard this effect on your ’in polarity’ system. Or did you hear it on one with reverse polarity? Or did you hear it at all? Maybe my old system also had reverse polarity, ergo why this record sounded so fine, and on my pr...

"I've never seen record with holographic image stamped on  it ……"Opus 3 has a disc titled 'Depth of Image', which can excel at portraying a 'holographic image', but it is so good unless you have already heard it under optimum conditions, you might...

If you haven't already, you might enjoy Berman's  performance of Liszt's 'Annes' on DG. One of the best I think, although it is hard to find a performance I don't enjoy.
