Dynaudio-Which one should I buy with around $5000.
I m trying to sell a pair of speakers so that I can pursue Albert Porters recommendation for a used pair of C1 Confidence Platinums 
Your favorite Sheherazade LP ?
I know at least one local audiophile and long trem musician/music lover that can steer you to what he believes are some well engineered Columbia Ormandy discs. I believe he love the Russian Easter Overture. 
Pop albums with an opening overture?
You could make an argument for Quadrophenia, amid the slamming surf are faint fragments of melodies you will hear later, much in the fashion of an opera overture. 
Noisy vinyl from Classic Records
I hope that the phenomenon I have heard is the same as the OP. I believe it is a pressing problem and I also believe back in the 80's I saw it referred to in the Absolute Sound as stitching. A sometimes loud brief burst of distortion, usually conf...

Tekton Double Impact phase issues?
Indeed it is Raven Audio I hope to visit if I can ever sell my Salks. Am interested in what the DIs do better than the Liszts.  Can you shed any light on what those who have heard the DIs feel is a lack of refinement? Many thanks, LS

The best of the ECM label
Not sure we share the same opinion as to what avant garde classical is but I thought I would share an odd ECM story from this last week, Albert Porter was kind enough to give me one of the few ECM discs that he did not care for-Gismonti's "Danca d... 
Movies that featured High End equipment
