| A well-produced and recorded classical guitar LP? This is all around superlative.https://www.prestomusic.com/classical/products/7952718--guitar-recital-jason-Vieaux | |
| CD Transports So if I'm remembering correctly, the NuPrime CDT 9 is very jittery for a modern transport. Is that right? | |
| Why do members hijack threads? It’s mostly certain people, who know who they are, who take the thread off at a tangent from the original topic. Initially, there is a thin connection, but soon it disappears. Can you hear differences between CD transports evolves into can you hea... | |
| The most important factor in soundstage imaging Why do so many people fail to distinguish between imaging and soundstaging? There are clearly systems and setups that do one well and the other not. | |
| Vimburg? Yes, they were also at CAF in November, sounding good in one of the large rooms. | |
| Benchmark AHB2 Amplifier, opinions and competition Just don't bridge it, or we'll have a re-run of the thread from last year. (-; | |

| AVA Ultravalve Vacuum Tube Amplifier by Van Alstine If you want to go that route, there's this: http://www.dynaco.com/st70.php The page explains what they're changed and updated (a lot); it's been well reviewed. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Scharwenka anyone? Excellent! Everything you want in a 19C concerto. Drama, emotion, virtuosity, etc. Currently on #2, shares disc with #3. Then on to 1 and 4 on Hyperion. | |
| Paradigm Persona series I disagree. In the concert hall I've never heard massed violins playing fortissimo sound shrill.But I do hear that on a number of recordings and through a number of speakers.Early DGG digital recordings are particularly guilty of this. I've neve... |
