| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? rvpiano, I too find that smaller forces 'image' better than large orchestral ones, probably due to the relatively simpler recording procedures that can be used. What I miss in my system that I experience live is a room 'fullness' caused, I believe... | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? I think it would be helpful if those who have created this optimum imaging in their own home (called holographic) would list the recordings they have heard which can reveal this imaging. FWIW, I think there are not so many, but it would be fun, fo... | |
| Well... guess I have to jump in the rabbit hole of speaker cables... lol FWIW, I agree with Stevechamp. Cables are not your problem, and certainly the Belden 10 ga is not a problem which another cable is likely to solve. If anything I suspect that other cables will exacerbate the problem. I have been using the Belden f... | |
| Noise problem as tube amp warms up In one channel or both (from your post it sounds like one channel)? If in one channel swap the tubes from left side to right side. See if noise changes channel. If it does just replace the offending tube (which you identify by then switching only ... | |
| Classical Music: Dorian Label I have and enjoy solo piano music by Antonin Kubalek on Dorian, especial his 2 volumes of Brahms. He has a number of solo piano recordings I also have and enjoy, ’Czech Miniature Masterpieces’, ’My gift to you’ (piano Encores), ’Tchaikovsky’s Seas... | |
| Suggested Recording of Korngold Violin Concerto? One of my favorite recordings of this work is in the Dorian label wherein Litton conducts the Dallas SO with Ulrike-Anima Mathe (v) playing the VC. This recording also includes an excellent Sinfonietta in B Major. | |
| How would you introduce tubes into this SS system? For the record Steve at VAS repaired one of the two amps that I mentioned earlier at a reasonable price and effectively. Turn around time was good. No problems. Apparently I was wrong about his no longer being a distributor for Cayin. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados It’s not just you. I think most folks here have the problem to one degree or another. You’ve just changed hobbies from music to audio. Time to get back into music - perhaps its time to explore and expand your interests in new (and some old) music.... | |
| Raysonic CD128 repair I got a couple of quotes from a couple of folks when my 128 needed a new laser, Quest and USA Tube for $400 and & $450 respectively. I originally bought it from Quest. That said I had it repaired by a local service center where I live (Paradym... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Gottschalk anyone?I just purchased a new Gottschalk (and Cuba) for solo piano by Antonio Iturrioz on the Steinway label (I love this label for its solo piano music compilations!) Nice disc but not so much for the Gottschalk unless you want a ’slow... | |
| Sarasate Suggestion I have and enjoy the 4 cd set you are considering. Good performances and recordings worth having.But, for me anyway, something more captivating and interesting, Rachel Barton (V) and Samuel Sanders (P) do a "Homage to Sarasate" on a Dorian CD. Ex... | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? FWIW, I was wrong about the Carver - Reading about BACCH tickled my memory. Carver's unit has all to do with cross talk cancellations, not phase issues. FWIW. | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? Peterprvk, Re the Hafler loop - I agree that this can have a very pleasant encompassing effect. I believe that it really is not much more than reproducing out of phase sounds thru separate speakers using the same amp as used in the front speaker... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados twoleftears, glad you liked this CD. After recommending something its nice to hear that some one tried it out and agreed.FWIW, although this is not part of this thread we have discussed its elsewhere recently in another thread and I thought perhap... | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? Gulpson, A fair observation, but to make this omission of a warranted moniker change worse, I've been posting here since about 2002! I think a lot of folks have not bothered with my posts. Who would want to take advise from a newbie. :-) |
