| Phenomenal Classical Recordings Chamber music suggestions added to last post. Maineiac, do you need some recommendations for choral, piano or organ or will orchestral and chamber be a sufficient starting point?. | |
| Old Vandy 2Cs worth the cheap price for starter? The 2C's are really nice speakers. At that price, you can't go wrong. I owned a pair of 2Ci speakers for a number of years and was very pleased with them. Very easy to drive, too.. | |
| Walker Audio Extreme SST A good recommendation is to keep the stuff in the freezer, if possible. And, ALWAYS, run around the gap where the jar meets the lid a few times with any kind of electrical tape.Thanks for the tip, Joe. I've wondered whether some special storage fo... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Tonight...Bartok - various compositions based on the folk tunes he collected, all on Hungaraton LPs from the 1970s. Hungaraton did a full series of all of Bartok's music and these are largely wonderful performances and recordings. Tonight's are al... | |
