| This is subjective, but what has been the best sounding SACD you have had? Tough to narrow it down. I really like the Harmonia Mundi Tri-Cornered Hat recording (Orquesta Ciudad de Granada, Pons cond.), but the recent Reference Recordings Pittsburgh Symphony recordings are excellent, as are the San Francisco Symphony l... | |
| Concert halls from around the world. What have been your favorites. That's a true statement about recorded music, but often there is magic at a live concert that just can't be duplicated in a studio session. That's why lI like a lot of recordings of live performances. | |
| Concert halls from around the world. What have been your favorites. Carnegie Hall in NYC (NOT Avery Fisher Hall, never had a good seat there, maybe)NJPAC in Newark NJ Musikverein in Vienna (my favorite)Hill Auditorium (Ann Arbor)Smetana Hall in Prague | |
| Speakers which always sound good If you want a stable stereo image wherever you are listening, mbl or Ohm would be the ticket. Don't think the former would be something for the general public, though, at their prices. I had considered mentioning line arrays, like Sceana or the ... | |
| Utube reviews hit or misses accuracy I always have felt it was important for a reviewer to use and describe the component he/she was reviewing in its stock form; after all, that is the way it will be purchased by a consumer. After that, if they want to experiment with power cords, c... | |
| Speakers which always sound good I was originally going to recommend something like Vandersteens (especially the ones with the powered woofers which can be adjusted to suit room problems) or small monitors like KEF LS50s that can be moved around easily. But the more I think abou... | |
| This is DigDug's Wife; DigDug passed away. Need advice on selling sound absorbing panels They look like a product called RealTraps, though I can't be sure. New, with a stand, they would sell for about $370 or so each (you can check the dimensions and google their website for the prices). You might want to try to sell them for 50-60%... | |
| This is DigDug's Wife; DigDug passed away. Need advice on selling sound absorbing panels I seem to recall sound absorbing panels fitting your description that were sold a good number of years ago--maybe they were "Echo Tunes"? One of our NJAS members used them with his Analysis Audio speakers. They were not too expensive, I think (c... | |
| Location of instruments in the orchestra... Some conductors prefer different positions for the various string sections. I have seen first and second violins on opposite sides of the orchestra, and sometimes the celli and violas are switched. I have also seen situations where the company ma... | |
| The most criminal practice in the speaker industry revealed!! Keep reading Kenjit wrote: We must promote the goal of attaining perfect sound. That is what you signed up for when you became an audiophile. If you dont agree, you are free to quit. I did not sign up for this goal. I quit. | |
| Beatles best album and concert dvd? My favorite is Revolver, but I agree that Rubber Soul started the change. All in all, everyone has a favorite, but I'd be hard pressed to say which is the "best". | |
| O.k after making some adjustments the sound is off the charts.This is BIG. I thought the King's chamber resonated at 16.2Hz, Where did you come up with 368? | |
| EMM Labs or PS Audio? When mine was updated, I was told that one of the sections (digital or analog, I can't remember which) was virtually the same as the DV2, the other not. I have no doubt the separate power supplies and additional space available in the DV2 would y... | |
| Sam here and l just made a new discovry. So next time I'm listening to my vegetables I'll be sure to listen for this. | |
| Looking for a phono preamp that has volume control Well, if you want a tubed phono stage with just one analog input, a friend of mine was very happy for many years with an Aesthetix IO phono stage with an analog input. A superb unit. Tough to find used, but I think they may still make it, thoug... |
