| Harbelth HL5plus Those Grahams are a good recommendation. Also check out the Spendor Classic 100 (less expensive than the H 40.2). | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? I don't know what they were driving the Muraudio with at CAF (last Nov.) but the sound was barely tolerable. First of all, overly loud for the small hotel room; second on the jazz trumpet piece, the higher notes on the trumpet just seared my ears... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Who knew that Massenet wrote a piano concerto? Clearly I'd forgotten, as I have the Hyperion CD. I'm enjoying it enormously; it is a bit all over the place, musically speaking, but enjoyable nonetheless, and the recording is splendid. | |
| Listening Levels for Classical Music / Slightly electronic sound at high levels What other similarly priced alternatives have you auditioned the Personas against? Logic suggests that at the price level you're operating at, there will be other makes out there that do it all for you, with no need to make allowances for certain... | |
| Speaker Width? I understand the constraints. I've heard that Salk model and they are capable of incredible depth of soundstage, which you will miss out on. But that's one of life's compromises, I suppose. | |
| Speaker Width? Oh man you are just killing those speakers having them jammed up against the wall like that. There are only two or three speciality makes designed specifically for that kind of placement. With all that furniture in the way, I'd try and move them... | |
| Great deal on some Salks . . . There's a thread on Audio Circle with plenty of info. on this new speaker. Judging by the speakers and drivers it's based on, it should sound very very good. | |
| VIENNA ACOUSTICS- DIE MUSIC https://www.giftedlistener.com/ This is the closest VA Acoustics store to you. You might at least call the owner. He tends to have just the Liszt not the Music on demo. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Richter--Dvorak. Wow!! These older recordings can sound truly excellent. Not only great piano playing, but I'm focusing even more on the fabulous wide, deep, full measure sound stage. Not only a great performance but a great recording. | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl Please keep the unfounded rumors coming. They just serve to depress further the bargain basement prices of used CD's massively available on Amazon and elsewhere. Each month I pick up classic performances and obscure repertoire for pennies on the... | |
| Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period. 7 hours a day, each and every day, without fail, for 60 days, is not my definition of "easy to do". Besides, if a product is not performing properly at the moment of its sale, why are you selling it? Purchasers should have 60 days to perform lis... | |
| From tubes to SS amp : Ayre, Belles, Pass or else ? Cronus Magnum II.PMC Twenty.24.@mr_m | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Liking #2 as I write, still on first movement. Listening to the Donohoe/Barshai EMI recording, which seems very good. An excellent breadth and depth of soundstage, and seems to get the balance between piano and orchestra just right, which many p... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados So what's up with Tchaikovsky #3? Will some piano expert explain it to me? It just sounds so anomalous (and to my ears, wrong), after #1. | |
| From tubes to SS amp : Ayre, Belles, Pass or else ? Happy transition here from Rogue to Belles (Aria). |
