| Whats wrong with short cables? The conventional wisdom is to keep all cables as short as possible. The contrary theory is espoused by Ron Bauman in the context of his Omega Mikro cables. His experimentation has confirmed, to his ears, that his cables sound best at a length of a... | |
| I'm scratching my records You might also check to make sure you are starting with a LEVEL table. No insult intended; just good to check the basics since what you are experiencing is consistent with a turntable on a slight tilt. | |
| Rhapsody in Blue - Which one? I agree with Kchahoc that this work can be enjoyed in many different interpretatations, and it would be a shame not to hear several. But, of the many different performances I've acquired over the years the two that get replayed most frequently, du... | |
| Your Holiday/Christmas Favorite Recordings For classical music fans, here are some LP selections I've been listening to this week that regularly return to the turntable even outside the Christmas season:In Dulci Jubilo, Christmas Music of the 15-18th Centuries, Jurgens/MonteverdiChHamburg,... | |
| Atma Sphere The Atma-Sphere amplifiers are totally stable and absolutely reliable. The output tubes are very rugged tubes and will run for a long, long time. When replacement time does come, they are not terribly expensive and they do not have to be matched. ... | |
| Direct Metal Mastering DMM LP's Your observations are on track with mine. In my experience, DMM typically fails to provide the best reproduction of which vinyl is capable. It is rare to find a DMM issue that also was issued via lacquer mastering. I have only found two recordings... | |
| Record sleeves? Both Red Trumpet and Music Direct are selling 3-ply polyethylene sleeves that match what I believe Cpdunn99 is describing. Here are the links to their descriptions:Music Directhttp://www.redtrumpet.com/accessories/item.php?item=22667&sid=12057... | |
| Recommendation - Complete Beethoven Sonatas Agree with the Moravec recommendation - but he has not recorded the complete sonatas (which was the question). Nevertheless, what he has put to disc are interpretations well worth adding to any collection. | |
| CJ PV series + SS amp You are exactly correct. My apologies. | |
| CJ PV series + SS amp Unsound, if you come across a Conrad-Johnson PV-9a at a decent price, don't discount it just because it's an earlier model. It used very high parts quality and was built to a higher price point than either the PV-11 or PV-12. It has a delicious ph... | |
| Aesthetix Io vs Lamm LP2 Frank, your experience is similar to other reports I've heard. I wonder if Albert Porter will share his experience comparing the two phono stages, also. Seems to me he has had the Manley in his system for a listen. | |
| Recommendation - Complete Beethoven Sonatas And I'll offer yet another view in favor of Wilhelm Kempff. His recordings on DGG are in generally good sound, and his interpretations are always well thought.I've not heard any of the performances by Goode. I'll have to explore his interpretation... | |
| Aesthetix Io vs Lamm LP2 Standard or Signature version... For those commenting, it would be very helpful if you would specify whether you are comparing the standard version or the Signature version of the Io. There is a very material sound quality difference between the two. | |
| Classical question You are very close. It stands for Ludwig von Köchel, who compiled a comprehensive catalog of Mozart's works, assigning each work a number. Today the catalog is known as Köchel's Catalog and the numbers are preceded by "K." to reference the source.... | |
| Has VPI quit supporting the HW series turntable ? Okunokata,Take a moment to slow down and breathe. You've been going at this in a frenzy for several days now, and it seems to me that you're making assumptions that are not warranted by what you report you've been told or have heard.VPI has an exc... |
