| Classical Music for Aficionados Schubert, FWIW, mainly because your moniker suggests a special interest, a recording of some Schubert's music for solo piano that I can't resist listening to fairly often when I'm in the mood for Schubert, "Le Voyage Magnifique" by Maria Joao Pir... | |
| What used speakers raraely come up for sale Its interesting to note that while many other other models have come and gone over the past 10 years Silverline is still making this model yet it rarely comes up for sale used. I've had mine for over 7 years now and they sure aren't going anywhere... | |
| Slight "Crackling" noise in right channel of amp A crackling sound on one side is IMHO more likely a tube issue than a grounding issue. Try switching left channel tubes and right channel tubes and see if the sound changes speakers as well. If it is a tube issue it could be something as simple as... | |
| Classical composers, symphonies No one has mentioned any American composers yet - be sure to check out Arron Copland, Samuel Barber, and Howard Hanson. Specifically don't miss Copland's Symphony #3 on the Reference Recording label (an audiophile's wet dream), Barbers Symphonies ... | |
| Classical composers, symphonies Re Sibelius, Symphony #2 is a favorite of most coming new to this music. It is more 'romantic' than most of his music and it is usually played 'big'. His first symphony is more like some of Tchaikovsky's symphonies in its style (however it is mus... | |
| Classical composers, symphonies Sibelius, Dvorak, and of course Beethoven for sure. | |
| Anyone else having issues with the Ayon CD-07s transport? Seabury, I erred. It was not USA Audio in Arizona that I was in contact with. Sorry. I'm not sure that this error makes a difference for you though. | |
| Notable very small loudspeaker companies (other than Tekton!) Another vote for Silverline. I've owned Bolero's for over 7 years and they clearly aren't going anywhere soon, if ever! :-) | |
| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? A few thoughts which might help. If you speakers are 10 feet apart and only 8 ft distant from your prime listening area that alone could account for some serious imaging and high frequency harshness issues. I would suggest that you move your chair... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados rvpiano, FWIW you can google 'Michael Sheppard, pianist' and you will get several hits which will give you some background on him and this disc. These are for the most part transcriptions (for which I'm a sucker, especially the music of Liszt, Pro... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados RV, FWIW you've got a tough job ahead of you if you want to keep this going. Just not that many classical music enthusiasts on this site, especially ones that will actively participate. Since you are a professional pianist I thought I would mentio... | |
| Jazz for aficionados acman3, thanks for the recommendation. I think ’Going Home’ is a cut on the ’Come Sunday’ CD I referred to. FWIW we played this at a remembrance service for a dear friend. | |
| Jazz for aficionados pryso, You want some good ’spiritual’, try Charlie Haden/Hank Jones’s album "Steal Away" and/or "Come Sunday" (Verve and Universal Music Group, respectively). Works for me. Sorry, no horns. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Ijcazador, If you haven't already heard this, you might like John Ogdon and Brenda Lucas doing some of Rachmaninoff's music for 2 piano's. On ASV CDDCA636. Suite #1, Suite #2, Prelude in C minor Op3 No2, and Russian Rhapsody. | |
| Would you change your amp selection knowing...? How come cable manufacturers don't warn potential customers? Surely they know, more so than amp manufacturers perhaps. |
