Well, I finally (hopefully) got my NuForce amps back from repair and my system seems to be in balance again. What an ordeal!!!

No need to pay me back.  If I had a dollar for every dud I bought, I’d have enough for a new system!Not that I expect her to be a dud.  You have excellent taste.I love Sarasate’s violin pieces. Years ago, I had an LP of Ruggiero Ricci playing many...

Just listening to three symphonies (35,36,38) by the miracle that is Mozart.Whereas, arguably, Haydn may be the better symphonist, and unarguably, Mozart’s piano concertos are more inspired, his symphonies are gems of creation, perhaps with a grea...

Schubert,I got the beginning of your post regarding Mahler’s 7th Symphony in my email but it seems the full text was removed from the forum.  What’s up with that?It seemed you were beginning to say you liked the symphony, although I know you’re no...

kef_lover,Just got the Monteux set.Gorgeous performance of the Nocturnes!One question though. It’s probably my system acting up again, but I heard most of the audio coming from the right channel. I don’t notice that with the next selection (Tchaik...
