| Do the Components Match? Can you try some other speakers in your room? | |
| Songbirds Documentary There are also a number of shorter videos on Youtube featuring well-known players playing guitars in the Songbirds collection of vintage axes. One of my favorites series features Jack Pearson playing Duane Allman’s Firebird. Of course, Jack could ... | |
| Top two most important sound qualities @gladmo You mean, mine? Thanks! | |
| Top two most important sound qualities For emotional engagement, an absence of distractions such as fatiguing highs and poorly controlled bass is helpful but I'm not at all convinced emotional engagement is, in my case, dependent upon "high fidelity". I can be just as emotionally engag... | |
| Caveat about the Cable Company return policy @fastfreight I have had nothing but good service and good experiences with Steven at the Cable Company. He guided me through several shipments from the lending library, and I ultimately bought nice B stock Audience cables. Ken This had been m... | |
| Classical Aficionados: Please Suggest Debussy Solo Piano recordings @newbee "Last post, I swear! :-)" OK. Your comments and suggestions have been very helpful. I'll check out the Goldberg variations, as you suggest. So, no Elvin Jones or Tony Williams recordings for you! I get it -- a "little goes a long way"... | |
| Classical Aficionados: Please Suggest Debussy Solo Piano recordings @gg107 Thanks for the additional suggestions. Ravel and Satie have also been suggested by others. They're at the top of my list for exploring on Spotify. I had imagined Beethoven might have a single bluesy bone in his body! | |
| Classical Aficionados: Please Suggest Debussy Solo Piano recordings @newbee Great idea! This has occurred to me but I haven’t had a clue re: how to go about it. Also, forays on Spotify have made me aware that listening to groups of any short form in one sitting can test my patience, especially if the differences... | |
| Classical Aficionados: Please Suggest Debussy Solo Piano recordings @gg107 I apologize for the curt tone of my response -- it was unwarranted. I do appreciate your having taken the time to make a suggestion. | |
| Classical Aficionados: Please Suggest Debussy Solo Piano recordings @mahler123 OK-- second vote for Michelangelo. I will keep him in mind. Don't recall having heard Ciccolini's name, before. Will investigate them both. Thanks! | |
| Classical Aficionados: Please Suggest Debussy Solo Piano recordings @antigrunge2 , @edcyn Thanks to you both -- I will explore ! @newbee Thanks for your suggestions! I'm just starting my Classical journey. Having grown tired of Rock in the late 70's, I began a long exploration of Jazz that is still ongoing.... | |
| Is anyone using a HDMI cable for I2S connection between digital components? @soix OK -- thanks for confirming that. | |
| Is anyone using a HDMI cable for I2S connection between digital components? @soix I'm confused. I thought each manufacturer uses their own proprietary socket for I2S which makes it very difficult to find a cable that will connect between two components of different brands. Has this changed? What am not understanding? | |
| Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired @dbb Understood. nevertheless, there's a possibility your approach may serve as an example/template for others. | |
| Classical Aficionados: Please Suggest Debussy Solo Piano recordings @newbee Just ordered the Bavouzet box set. I found the Ogawa a bit "soft" in some pieces. The Uchida is "firmer" than Bavouzet but as a long-time fan of Jazz players such as JoAnne Brackeen and McCoy Tyner, I'm OK with that. Funny -- I als... |
