| Upgrade CD, New CD or Universal Player? Since 2012 the OP has probably made a few changes. | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) I agree with @b_limo 's post back on page 1. Many speakers today are designed with a tipped up treble aka too bright. In the showroom this comes across as loads of detail. At home over the long term it becomes fatiguing. It has to do with the c... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Tremendous work from the Barbirolli Society. 63 issues and counting.https://www.prestomusic.com/classical/labels/190/browse?size=10&view=large | |
| Jazz vocalists recorded wonderfully Eva Cassidy, Nightbird, 30 odd tracks, all recorded on one night, live, at the Blues Alley, from a truck parked outside. Can't get much more unadulterated than that. | |

| New Turntable Direction Check out the Michell Gyrodec. Too often overlooked. | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) In his 7-series speakers, Fritz uses 4 tweeters. The beryllium obviously in the Carrera; a less expensive Scanspeak in the Carbon, a ring radiator in the REV, and a Scanspeak Revelator in the LS (with Illuminator woofer). I heard the Carreras at... | |
| Is imaging reality? Hopefully recordings with be more analogous to Impressionist or Expressionist art, than to fully abstract art! | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Eva Cassidy, "Nightbird".2 CDs + DVD, contains every track recorded that night at Blues Alley.This issue/reissue sounds, if possible, even better than the original Live at Blues Alley. | |
| New Turntable Direction Southern hemisphere? | |
| Is imaging reality? No, but just sit back and enjoy it, because what you hear in a symphony hall is not reproducible in any room by any system. | |
