| Classical Music for Aficionados Jim,I’m just now listening to Rachmaninoff’s 1st with Pletnev. I see what you mean.Really authoritative. He brings out so many interesting things and makes it sound like a major symphony. Wonderful! I can really hear the Tchaikovsky influence i... | |

| Is soundstaging emblematic of reality? Elizabeth, I take your point! | |
| Worth pursuing analog sound from digital? Of course, every response here is based on the personal equipment of the poster.How can there be any accurate judgement when everybody’s listening on different components?Fruitless endeavor. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Schubert,Yes, I heard the whole op.130 as well.I was just blown away by the greatness of the fugue. | |
