| How do they MIC a symphony? Well, there was a lot of ambient noise at my house last night (the Newark flight path was over my house last night, it seemed), but I think you're hearing Heifetz breathing. You can also hear some of the orchestra's sheet music being turned at one... | |
| How do they MIC a symphony? One of the finest recordings and performances of the work, IMHO. The XRCD of this recording is very good, but the Classic reissue, particularly the 45 rpm version, is superb. I will listen to it tonight to figure out if it's Heifetz (quite possibl... | |
| How do they MIC a symphony? Each record label has its own preferred miking. Twl is correct, before they knew any better companies like RCA and Mercury did it right with minimal arrays (Merc just used three spaced mikes across the front of the orchestra); gradually RCA starte... | |
| Winds of War and Peace Wilson Audio WCD 8823 If no one else can help, send me a private e-mail on Monday, I'll see what I can do about copying my copy (I tend to like the other one in the series better, maybe I'll just let you have mine). | |
| Upgrade for Day Sequerra FM Reference Tuner Here is what's involved in the upgrade--ballpark figure given me was about $1,000. Need to get a return authorization number from Linda and send it after August 1 to Medford, NJ--ask Linda Reed for the details.Day SequerraSpecification Information... | |
| Upgrade for Day Sequerra FM Reference Tuner Update: I spoke with Linda Reed (856-261-8961), who tells me that Day Sequerra is about to finish a move back to NJ and expects to be making the upgrades available again in the next few weeks. I'll be getting an e-mail from her soon with details o... | |
| 360 degree radial speakers and imaging... The best of them can indeed create a holographic soundstage which you can actually walk into the soundstage or "view" it from any location in the room without worrying about a sweet spot (mbl's are great at this, as were the original Ohm Walsh spe... | |
| Upgrade for Day Sequerra FM Reference Tuner I don't think Dick Sequerra wants much to do with the D-S models. The upgrades, as I recall them from the review, seemed largely cosmetic (better back-lighting, brighter scope display, etc.), although it certainly doesn't hurt to have your tuner b... | |
| New York City,,,,hello There's at least the Gotham Audio Society and The Audiophile Society (the magazine The Audiophile Voice grew from that). I'm sure those guys will chime in with their details; my recollection is that for The Audiophile Society the contact is David ... | |
| Anyone Bi-amping with tube high & solid state lows I biamp with Sonogy amps for 220hz on down and Lamm ML1s above that, but I have an active crossover and a 4-piece system. There are always some potential sonic continuity problems, particularly with a crossover point that high, which are minimized... | |
| Turntable Power Source Benefits Just got back from some extended golf and saw the questions. Khaki and Mot, as to your questions I respectfully defer to Albert--I have an older model, with Valid Points attached to it and a custom "bypass" feature which my seller had put in for h... | |
| Review: Antique Sound Labs Hurricane Tube amp Very nice review, Rick, seems to me you should be hosting an NJAS meeting soon! Glad to see the amps are what you had hoped. Pity you have so many tubes there, though, as I may be selling my stash of Gold Lion KT88s... By the way, if the power cor... | |
| Turntable Power Source Benefits Gotta agree with Albert, I got the Walker for my Basis for the same reason (even worse with the Ovation, you had to change the pulley to change speeds) and have been amazed at the improvement. The speed stability is a big difference, of course, bu... | |
| Terminology? Isn't Mendula Oblongada the guy sending me all those e-mails about frozen Nigerian assets? Otherwise the rest of the answers were given to you! |
