| What sends shivers down your spine when you play it on your system? The final movement of the Copland Third Symphony. | |
| What sends shivers down your spine when you play it on your system? I think twoleftears meant Mahler 5, which I agree is absolutely beautiful. Staying with Mahler, I agree with Mapman on Mahler 2, the final portion of the last movement always gives me the shivers. As does the third movement of the Shostakovich 5... | |
| Concert halls from around the world. What have been your favorites. palasr--I agree with you on watching an opera in Italy. I went to a performance by a touring troupe in Todi, and it was almost like being at a baseball game here in the US. | |
| Audio Research preamps EXCESSIVE OPERATING COSTS Clearly the OP has no love for ARC. My suggestion is buy a solid-state preamp and be done with it--there have been some good suggestions made above. If you really want the ARC, get a cheap solid state integrated amp/HT processor for your home th... | |
| Classic records sleeves. I have the Classic Records Dorati Firebird (both 33-1/3 and 45 rpm versions). The sleeve has no writing on it, and there is no indication on the jacket that it is the reissue. However, there are two things that may help you identify it:1. The in... | |
| Sue Kraft Please accept my condolences as well. Atmasphere's post brings up an important point, When Valerie Kurlychek (aka Anna Logg) passed away, I helped the family with selling her gear, and the first thing I did was check with the manufacturers of t... | |
| Belles original 150 amplifier. Any good? Agree with joey54, check with John Rutan, he knows his stuff. They sold a lot of Belles amps. | |
| Kef reference 1/2 demo Woodbridge Stereo carries the line, as does Audio Doctor in Jersey City, I believe. Not sure if they have the models you're looking for on display. | |
| How is Assuming that when you say you have two prongs in your preamp you mean left and right channel outputs, you just use one amp as your left channel and one as your right channel, and run the interconnects from the preamp accordingly. | |
| Best Tube amp match for Dunlavy SC 4A speakers? I always liked tubes on the Dunlavy's. My dealer used both VTL and, later, VAC amps on them to good effect--had he carried ARC then I expect he would have used them as well. I would think a VAC higher powered amp (Phi 200 or 300, for example) wo... | |
| EMT STX 5/10 Step Up transformer I may have had one--I got an EMT step up transformer that was matched to my EMT JSD5 (6?) cartridge. Tried to sell the cartridge and transformer together, but finally gave up and sold the transformer separately, everyone wanted it. It was a grea... | |
| Concert halls from around the world. What have been your favorites. I saw concerts at Hill Auditorium ranging from Watts/Ozawa/NY Phil to Andre Segovia to The Byrds and Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen, as well as chamber groups and countless others. I wish I had been able to take in more concerts while ... | |
| FANFARE FM TUNERS ???? WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THEM ?? They were well-regarded in their day, as I recall, though perhaps not as much as other top tuners of the time Hopefully you have a good outdoor antenna, but even then I'm not sure what you'll be able to catch that far from Spokane. I suggest you... | |
| Active Non near field loudspeaker +1 on the ATCs. There's a pair of SCM40A's for sale now for about $8000. | |
| Purchase breaks well within 30 days The rules seem to say that if the unit worked when it was received, the seller is not required to take it back, unless the ad specified otherwise. I'd ask the seller if a return is acceptable, but I don't think the seller should have to take the ... |
