| Classical Music for Aficionados Schubert, You’re not nuts. The biggest difference between LPs and CDs is the air around the instruments. | |
| Need recommendation for amplifier Tim,I was anxious to get something decent after suffering through the the repairs of the NuForce. I’m hoping the technician will buy them back from me. He’ll be able to use them more than me. I won’t hold my breath though.Thanks again for the r... | |
| Need recommendation for amplifier Noble100,Based on your recommendation, I just ordered the Red Dragon M-500 monos.i understand they have a 45 day try-out policy.They do get great reviews. | |
| Need recommendation for amplifier Noble100,It’s a sad story.The original NuForce Company is out of business. I’ve been dealing with a former technician from the company and have poured a lot of cash into him for repairs already ( it’s a long story.) I just got both amps back from... | |
| Need recommendation for amplifier I have modified Dalquist DQ 20 speakers and a modified Conrad-Johnson PV11 preamp. Listening room is about 23’x23’. The system sounded great with the solid state 160W per channel NuForce monoblocks and also worked well with the inexpensive 80W pe... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Gs5556,Schubert Trios arrived today.Very nice recommendation!Gorgeous Schubert, expertly played.At first, fortepiano took some getting used to.After that, sounded very natural.Beautifully recorded. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Upon reflection, my comment about the sound of the Gershwin record has to be qualified to reflect my system and, to a certain extent, my taste.Of course, I can’t guarantee it will sound superlative on all systems. | |

| Classical Music for Aficionados Schubert,I ordered it, and very glad I did.btw, I haven’t yet received the Frank Sonata.When I do, I’ll let you know. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Schubert,Thomas Hampton Christmas, excellent recommendation. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados On Philps, don’t forget the wonderful Haydn Symphony set by Colin Davis.I must have seven or eight LPs from that series | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Newbee,Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll definitely order it.Polyansky’s recording of “The Bells” is among the best.One of the great musical experiences of my life was at a live concert with him conducting Rachmaninoff’s Second Symphony. Truly... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Re: Rachmaninoff “The Bells”.I based my recommendation of Simon Rattle in this piece because of a live telecast of him on the Berlin Philharmonic Concert Hall site— a truly exciting rendering. Sadly, his Warner Classics CD, IMO, is leaden with th... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados ANY of Mozart’s Piano Concertos (with the possible exception of the first three numbered concertos which he didn’t actually compose but arranged.) Brendel or Perahia are as good as any pianists in these.Rachmaninoff: “The Bells” (his favorite comp... |
