| Walker Audio Extreme SST Trelja,Finally, this thread became useful again.Rob | |
| Walker Audio Extreme SST I also applied Extreme SST this weekend. As I plugged the main powercord in and fire came out of the outlet, I knew that this was going to be interesting. (Make sure everything is off when you plug it in!)I have not tried the originial version, bu... | |
| Wadia Owner - with or without preamp You will find no solution to this question on audiogon. People are split on this, with perhaps slightly more preferring the preamp. I run direct because the Wadia is my only source. I haven't had the opportunity to listen to preamps. I have no pla... | |
| Pass XA100 or X350.5 Sigmund,What's the upgrade policy at Pass? | |
| Something similar to Mahler A few large scale orchestral pieces:What about the rest of Mahler.Bruckner #8 - von Karajan, Vienna PhilharmonicBruckner #9 - Giulini, Vienna PhilharmonicShostakovich #5 and 9 - HaitinkSchoenberg Gurreleider - ChaillyBeethoven Symphonies - Barenbo... | |
| SACD/CD Question The acoustics for Berlin recordings are sometimes problematic. For a blazing Tchaikovsky #1 in great sound consider Argerich with Chailly. She sometimes drives the music too hard, but excells with Russian composers. Look for the older edition on P... | |
| Jazz Recs for Classical Music Fan - Challenging Well, BMG now has their $2.99 sale. I just placed an order for 9 CDs that are recommended in this thread. I also bought 4 CDs from recommendations on a previous thread. After S&H, it came out to less than $7 per CD and earned me 2 free CDs. Pr... | |
| Help me pick a tube amp for Thiel 2.4's See the following discussion from previous post:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?cspkr&1034006724&read&keyw&zzthiel+cs-2+4 | |
| Help me pick a tube amp for Thiel 2.4's You should give more details about what you have, what you listen to, and what you would like to accomplish. I have found that the more specific you are, the more helpful people can be. Otherwise, you will just get a bunch of people chiming in abo... | |
| Diff bet Pass X350 and 600 insound quality/ They are both cut from the same cloth. You should make your decision based upon your speaker and budget. I had the x350 on my Thiel 7.2s and then moved to the x600. The Thiels really opened up and had better lower frequency imaging and clarity, bu... | |
| Jazz Recs for Classical Music Fan - Challenging I know BMG won't have much of this stuff, but I continue to be surprised at what they do carry. I've already found about 10 of the recommendations on their website so far. They even have contracts with smaller classical labels such as ECM, Hyperio... | |
| Jazz Recs for Classical Music Fan - Challenging So far, so good. Keep the recs flowing. I have some on order, and I'll strike at BMG has another $2.99 sale.I am definitely not opposed to modern jazz, and remain open to pieces that are not immediately accessible. I've been willing to experiment ... | |
| Enjoyment The whole accuracy issue, I believe, comes down to musical preference. If you want to be convinced that you are sitting in front of a performacne of Mahler #8, with close to 1000 musicians on stage, then accuracy is important. If you want to hear ... | |
| Pass labs X600 Pass is the best because they are heavy, hot, sharp, and emit that blue light that is universally attractive to the male species. Krell also has the blue light, but there is more of it with Pass, so that makes them better. The Pass are selling at ... | |
| Traditional looking speakers Thiel 2.4s. Bought used, this is a best buy within your budget, and will play acoustic music and vocals to their fullest potential. Look for a demo pair from a dealer if possible, to obtain the full warranty. They will require good electronics, bu... |
