| Winds of War and Peace Wilson Audio WCD 8823 I believe it was the person (Nchong) who did the original post in the thread. You might want to try to contact him through the Audiogon system, if he is still on it (just click on his name, there's a way to email him).I will try to see if I can fi... | |
| Fed up with people making noise at classical shows I must agree with Frogman. I have heard Maestro Jarvi conduct a lot of concerts, and have never heard a lackluster performance with him at the podium. The man lives music, and has a special ability to get the orchestra to bring out the most of the... | |
| Winds of War and Peace Wilson Audio WCD 8823 Sorry, I believe I gave it to the OP (or someone in the UK, as I recall). Did not keep a copy that I can find. | |
| Speaker suggestions at around $30k I'll throw in the Adam Tensor Betas or Deltas--in fact, if you don't need the last octave of bass, the Deltas should work just fine for you and you'll have about $20K left over. Their highs and midrange are very realistic sounding to me, their pow... | |
| Winds of War and Peace Wilson Audio WCD 8823 I'll look through my CD collection, but I may have given the original away. | |
| Preamp for Lamm M1.1 monoblocks You could also consider a Lamm LL2 preamp, less expensive than the L2 but all tubed. Similar arrangement with the dual volume controls, and I don't believe it runs balanced either. As with most Lamm equipment, the highs are probably a little rolle... | |
| Can NOLA's "Boxer" compete with big floorstanders? I must agree with Mapman, omnis take some getting used to, but once you get used to them it is hard to go back. My speaker system is very similar in its presentation to an omni, and I have always liked the spaciousness and soundstaging of speakers... | |
| Can NOLA's "Boxer" compete with big floorstanders? I have listened on a number of occasions to the Nola Boxers, including at a local dealer's with our audio club and for a week in my 18 by 20 foot room in my system (amps are Lamm ML 1.1s). The Boxers are beautifully finished (get the cherry, the b... | |
| MoFi So Long So Wrong I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, but it's been a while since I listened, so I'll give it another listen. It's two records, are the sides numbered 1-4 (I never really look at that sort of thing), or if not, which side 2 are you referri... | |
| How a nickel can make a valuable improvement Hiendmuse, I think Markpao and Brf meant to put the washers beyween the turntable and the paws, i.e., slip it over the threaded screw and have it rest on the top of the bear paw that goes against the underside of your TT. That way the paws can sti... | |
| Biggest impact on you? I think it's a toss-up between the Thiel CS3.5 speakers, which were the first true high-end speakers I really listened to (couldn't afford them, wound up with Thiel CS 3s instead--this was in 1986, as I recall) and the Well-Tempered Turntable (got... | |
| Live Performances Gone Awry I recall a concert I attended in NYC in the late 60s where Tim Buckley got sick halfway through his set and left; I can only speculate on what caused it, but I think we all have a pretty good idea. I was at three concerts where he was to perform w... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I think I'll bring out my old Bob Newhart Button Down Mind album and Bill Cosby albums after seeing these recent posts. | |
| Thiel model 3.7 - nice speaker. Lenny, I think you're thinking of the Thiel 3.5s. The 3.7 has no equalizer. | |
| If you could bring back one great artist that has Beethoven. Toward the end of his life, he was outgrowing the traditional classical symphonic and chamber forms of his time. With the various instruments, both acoustic and electronic, available today for him to play with, and the additional genres... |
