| Classical Music for Aficionados I think Martin has recorded more Alkan than any other composer, so in my book that’s a feather in his cap. I noticed a Mompou disk that should be investigated. BTW, any strong Mompou recommendations?On the strength of her Schubert recital, I got B... | |
| recommendation for rca interconnect for deeper bass for dac to preamp This whole "cables shouldn't be used as tone controls" argument is one of the most bogus in the whole of the audio world.A cable is a component, right?We select components based, in part, on whether their sonic profile is warm, neutral, cool, full... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Well, when the composer calls for hemidemisemiquavers, it's nice to have a pianist who can actually execute them both correctly and artistically. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Hamelin's splendid new disc of Listz/Thalberg opera transcriptions and fantasies. Listen to those fingers fly! | |
| KEF Reference 5 aftermarket plinths, base, or feet options? https://soundocity.com/product-category/outriggers/ Something from the offerings shown here? | |
| Suggestions for New CD Player Send it back. Surely you're still within the return window.Burn-in, cables, etc. can make incremental improvements, but they won't change your fundamental reaction to the unit. | |

| What would you do? Treat the room acoustically. Look at GIK (though they have a long backlog at the moment) and other companies. There are plenty of threads on this. Searching GIK will take you to most of them. | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options Likewise highly praised but even more outside the price limit.https://www.stereophile.com/content/lkv-veros-pwr-power-amplifier | |
| Has anybody bought or heard a Chinese knock off amplifier? To say nothing of this website.https://chinaaudiostore.aliexpress.com/store/3005033 darTZeel anyone? | |
| Why wont speaker companies publish their measurements? Independent measurements demonstrate that much of the time the published figures are inaccurate, so there's not much point anyway. | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options The best-sound class D right now (pending a few anticipated future releases) are likely going to be the AGD, already mentioned above, and the LKV Veros. Both of which are well outside your price range.SS: along with Pass and Accuphase, I'd add Su... | |
| question for Luxman L-590AX owners Noted.One can see the laminations quite clearly here on a stock E-I model.https://www.ec21.com/product-details/EI-Transformer-Lamination-Magnetic-Core--10623566.html I’m still curious about the construction of toroidal cores. Are they built up wi... | |
| High end Class D amps? Only in the case of the Voyager, the field it's playing on is shaped like a dodecagon. |
