| Best bookshelf speakers <$2000 If you consider how many 2-way bookshelf speakers there are out there available, between $100 and $2000 a pair, frankly it's remarkable you haven't had more diverse suggestions. The number of overwhelming, and no one can heard more than a small f... | |
| ‘modern’, ‘mainstream’ speakers—too many models converging towards too similar a sound Advert for Spendor A7 in November Stereophile.Photo of speaker with dimensions indicated: 7" wide, 36 3/4" tall.Advertising copy: "Sometimes, being narrow-minded is a wonderful thing. Especially when the result of a groundbreaking floor-stander t... | |

| Soldered VS ...everything else How do people feel about set screws in bananas or spades? | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Curiously, enjoying disc 2 rather more than disc 1. Piano sound still very good. Perhaps it's my mood, perhaps it's the AC.Still, Levit has me wondering if Glenn Gould ever recorded the late Beethoven, and if so, how similar their interpretation... | |
| Reference Recordings Copland #3 added to my shopping list. Who can resist after that description? | |
| Jay’s Audio DAC Yes, given that the Jay's + Denafrips combo was previously being touted, the big question is how it compares to Denafrips. Which Denafrips model is it closest to in price? | |
| To Bi Wire or not to Bi Wire that is the question? Not a fair comparison. To bi-wire, you're using twice the length of cable. Compare better quality single wire+jumpers that costs the same as the doubled-up bi-wire cable, then decide. | |
| Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9 Any reason the ProAc D48's didn't make your list? They are often listed as the D9's close rival.Thank being said, I auditioned the D7's (not the 9's) against Spendor Classic 100 (effectively, mk III of the SP100) this summer, and preferred the 10... | |

| Classical Music for Aficionados Bought a bunch of CDs recently, many of them based on recommendations from this thread.First one to arrive is Igor Levit, 2CDs, late piano sonatas.Recording: piano image is very present, well fleshed out, more neutral than warm in tonality. Sound... | |
| Reference Recordings Have you tried this one?https://referencerecordings.com/recording/arnold-overtures-london-philharmonic/ It always sounded pretty good to me. Must refresh memory. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @newbee Just enjoyed a very spirited performance of the Schumann PC courtesy of Stephen Bishop and Colin Davis. Looking on Amazon, I see there are highly touted versions available from both Lupu and Perahia, two of my absolute favs. This will be... | |
| Anyone with experience with the effectiveness of the AVA HUMDINGER? @helomech Ironically enough, a CMII. I ended up trying 5 different AC wiring "solutions" and 8 or 9 after-market products, and nothing worked. Inherent in that model, and/or my example of that model. BTW, this was fairly low-level hum, but it c... | |
