| Classical Music for Aficionados Totally agree with you that Bernstein’s histrionics never got in the way of his communication. Indeed many feel that they were a MEANS to communication.Critics thought they were phony — salesmanship. But I believe they were an integral part of h... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados learsfool,Indeed, welcome to the thread!It’s good to have you. I’m happy that you’re mentioning wind masterpieces.I’ve enjoyed most of the selections you’ve cited for years. I would really like to get a recently remastered copy of Brain’s Mozart.... | |

| Oppo 105 D vs. DAC-transport combination. In saying that I prefer records to CDs I was somewhat overstating the case.There are some terrible sounding records and some wonderful sounding digital recordings. Indeed I think quality control is generally higher in the digital domain than in t... | |
| Making my own power cord. According to Audioquest there is an American C-17 and a European C-17 with a different configuration. Very bizarre!Anyway, Cyrus is sending me their stock power cable with an American outlet plug. That doesn’t solve the problem of finding an upgr... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados schubert, I’m not sure I understand the last sentence you wrote.I admit his histrionics were distracting. But, as a musician, I thought he was among the greats | |

| Making my own power cord. folkfreak and gs5556,Thank you for responding.I called both Crutchfield and Audioquest.It’s a no-go. Audioquest doesn’t make a C17 for what I need. They make a C15 two prong but it’s for an American style IEC, not European.He suggested I call a ... | |
| Making my own power cord. Clearthink,You would think!Try to get it! | |
| Oppo 105 D vs. DAC-transport combination. Getting back a little closer to the original subject, the three to two hole adapter that I got to enable me to connect the Cyrus to the DAC had the wrong size two-hole. So, I’m back to the original dilemma of not being able to hook up a decent ca... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Schubert, It’s funny how just randomly picking something is like making a new discovery. I’ve been finding the same phenomenon this week in auditioning a new piece of equipment and ferreting out new facets of old recordings.It makes you listen to... | |
| Oppo 105 D vs. DAC-transport combination. Not that I want to get into a debate either, but in my subjective experience, I’ve found that records have always sounded more “open” and transparent than CDs.And, as I’ve stated, there’s very little if any background noise on a clean record. | |
