| Classical Music for Aficionados Next up: the incomparable Rachel Podger in the collection Perla Barocca. This has a SACD layer if your player can handle it. I'm kind of obsessed with Bertali's Chiacona, don't know how many times I've listened to it over the years. | |
| How I tamed digital glare. Digital storage is not the issue. It's turning the digital data into music. The "A" in DAC. Here timing is a big issue--how accurately, from a timing point of view, the converter is running. | |
| Amp recommendation for Vandersteen Treo CT I heard the Ayre AX-7e driving the Vienna Acoustics Liszt without breaking a sweat. Then they put on the AX-5 (not Twenty) and of course it was better. Stacked Belles Aria preamp and stereo amp are no larger than a Luxman integrated. | |

| Isoacoustics Gaia ll footers plus carpet spikes Thanks!Has anyone compared the Studio/Professional Iso-pucks with the Home/Audiophile Oreas? | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados You guys inspired me to pull out the Schumann. I have the Sawallisch set on EMI. The recording is excellent, with a nice deep (and distant) soundstage. How much am I missing compared to Masur or Thielemann? | |
| Harbeth Super HL 5 Plus room size? https://www.whatsbestforum.com/threads/harbeth-monitor-40-2.25222/ Check out this guy for 40.2's in a small room. Scroll down (and down and down) for photos of room and acoustic treatment of walls. | |
| Vandersteen Treo CT @stevenyc Hi. Imagine a curtain hung vertically from the ceiling of your listening room down to the floor (like theatre curtains on a stage), at a certain distance from your listening chair. If when it hangs down it just touches the front of yo... | |
| Isoacoustics Gaia ll footers plus carpet spikes So if you had large speakers that nevertheless were still standmounts, where do the Gaias go? Between the speaker and the stand, or stand and floor. If the latter, how do you couple/decouple the speaker/stand interface? | |
| Help Need CD player for about 2k to 3k 18 years on...How do these threads get resurrected? | |
