| Furtwangler's 9th on Arkipel. 'P.s.: Furtwangler's wartime concert with BPO was performed (grudgingly by Furtwangler) for Nazi officers at the height of the Nazi propaganda machine... (perhaps one of the reason for the tension, ferocity, & restraint?). Don't think you woul... | |
| Adcom GFA 5802 Upgrade Your power requirements will be based on your listening habits, room size etc.... at least that is what the magnepan site says. And you can get a perfectly good high current amp for less than 300 dollars. 299 to be exact. The Harman Kardon hk3490.... | |
| Furtwangler's 9th on Arkipel. I think the SACD format is a real advancement, but maybe not 'night and day' over a well done redbook.How can you not like the choral? That is the 9th!!BTW, If I could have been at any performance live, I would chose the wartime Berlin concert. Bu... | |
| Furtwangler's 9th on Arkipel. I have all three. Purchased them based on the reviews. I could only listen to each of them once. A great performance can only go so far in overcoming noise filled recordings. Compared to my SACD recordings of the 9th, the Furtwangler hype now seem... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Polk Lsi15. I have had the urge to 'upgrade' for 9 years. But there is nothing out there that would be an 'upgrade'. Sometimes we have to accept the fact that we did it right the first time. Which is what the OP's post implies. | |
| Best Integrated, period. Well they have had ample time to clean their ears, but over the decades the results are the same. A socialist plot?? They like everything and everybody to be the same. | |
| Best Integrated, period. Well, since NO ONE has ever been able to ID amps in blind tests, which means they all 'sound' alike, I therefore don't understand the question. | |
| Recommend some Blues music to a newbie 'Chicago The Blues Today' Nice 3 disc set by real bluesmen. Can be purchased single or in a 3cd set. Filled with the great songs by the great players. On Amazon. | |
| Any hope for SACD? Everything good in audio has been or is being killed off by 'audiophiles.' They are the worst thing that ever happened to the music business, music lovers and the gear used to reproduce music in the home. I advise everyone to get the excellent mod... | |
| best sound for a classical and jazz cd I have the "out to lunch" CD by Eric Dolphy.The most aptly named CD in history! | |
| Yaqin VK-2100 or NAD C340 or C350 integrated? If you want value for the money for real? Then the Harman Kardon HK 3490. Overkill for a bedroom, but can be used in your main rig if needed. | |
| Yaqin VK-2100 or NAD C340 or C350 integrated? 'The NAD amps are complete junk, Shilly , grainy ! I have owned many they suck!!'does this mean you are a slow learner? | |
| I'm looking for a nice set of cans. KOSS Sportapro's are great for non-classical music. Two 'audiophile' drawbacks, they don't cost very much, and they have a lifetime warranty. Over the years I have sent a couple of pair back to Koss for repair of replacement.For other non-portable... | |
| CD player to compete with my vinyl rig? no CD Player can not make you want to listen to CDs. If you don't like CDs, why would you want to listen to them? And I will state the obvious, stop listening to components and concentrate on the music. | |
| need 2 channel amp Harman Kardon hk3490. Less than 300 new. Will equal the performance of any amp mentioned and beat them all in terms of reliability. Comes with a tuner to boot. :) You can always tell your audiophile friends that visit, that you just bought it to u... |
