| Bach Cantata recommendations Helmuth Rilling is one of the established experts. He has recorded all of them. You can get all 69 of his Bach Cantata CD's on the Hänssler label if you've got the cash!Probably about $1000. Ha! | |
| Tube Preamps under $1000 used The original 6SN7 tube Blue Circle BC21. | |
| Blue Circle BC2 - may need to upgrade. Yes, I would consider the new Blue Circle hybrids. Especially if you want to retain that Blue Circle sound. | |
| Is "live" music sound possible for under $1K You can attend a lot of live music events for under $1K :-) | |

| Cambridge Audio CD4 SE- Upgrade ? CD-R Errors ? If your CD4-SE had the IEC power cord socket, then try a better power cord first. An $80 Blue Circle BC61 would be a good choice. Even a fatter standard 14-3/14awg cord from the hardware/electrical store would be better.What kind of music code are... | |
| Recomend Upgrade From Cambridge Audio D300 All I can tell you is the Rotel uses separate Burr Brown PCM-63 mono DAC chips (one per channel). While these are 20bit chips, they are/were the best 20bit chips made. Therefore, the best 20bit chip will trump a lesser 24bit chips easily. They are... | |
| Classical Music as Relics for easy listening To reiterate... buy or just borrow at the library all of John Williams' film soundtracks and you will discover hours upon hours of complex, melodic, and well orchestrated symphonic classical music. It is right there for anyone to listen to. Many i... | |
| Classical Music as Relics for easy listening While I basically agree with your list Flex, most of the modern composers you list compose music that is pretty small scale and simplistic in comparison with the masters.There has been literally hundreds upon hundreds of "classical" composers over... |
