| SQ vs. Music edcyn,I’m 1000% in agreement with you.As Mahler himself said, his symphonies are “worlds” in themselves.Mahler can move me like almost no one.It’s just that he, sensually, creates worlds of his own as well. | |

| Speaker Upgrade Recommendation for Current Analog System - under $10,000 Budget I own the GE Triton 1’s. Run them with a tube preamp and a Benchmark amp.I find them to be wonderful full range and accurate speakers. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados There’s a lovely new recording of the great Liszt B minor Sonata by the 28 year old British pianist Benjamin Grosvenor on Qobuz.He really does it justice. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados One might put Ashkenazy in the same category.But I think Pletnev has the edge. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados I feel I have to restate my admiration and love of Mikhail Pletnev as pianist and conductor. By way of a review, I just discovered his definitive performance of Rachmaninoff’s 3rd Symphony. IMHO, Not since Rachmaninoff himself have we had such ge... | |
