Classical Music for Aficionados
I will be able to contribute more when you start an LP thread. To the people complaining about the lack of opera recommendations, I have about 150 opera sets. I have listed two below, and an “oratorio” and a dance song cycle. Opera is not dead: th... 
Quincy Jones Interview
QJ’s comments strike me as the kind of things that a person suffering from dementia makes. Impulsive, angry, without constructive purpose. What’s the goal here? After such a brilliant career, he wants to be remembered for a handful of self-indulge... 
Diana Krall
Rpeluso, - Nyro’s dad was a jazz bass player- to me, the connection to Krause is obvious and I’ve stated it already. The only thing that I might have left unsaid is that I think of Krauss as a jazz-tinged pop singer, like Nyro, not the other way a... 
Diana Krall
PS: I can’t edit my comment above anymore, one last thought: Laura made her first record for Verve when she was 16 years old. Clive Davis signed her to Columbia a year later. She was painfully shy, did the Davis audition with the lights off, the k... 
Diana Krall
A couple years ago, I bought a couple of Krall LPs to see what the fuss was about. She felt like Lite Jazz to me. To measured. Too restrained. She left me cold. I sold the LPs. For someone who blends jazz with gospel, r&b, blues, Broadway, sou... 
SELLERS encouraged to stop accepting Paypal!!
Kevinagurney,If the buyer asked to cancel within 12 hours - maybe even within 24 hours - of the sale, I would have granted his request, no questions asked, and moved on. He was signaling to you that he would be a problem buyer. And the term “for p... 
SELLERS encouraged to stop accepting Paypal!!
Well, it’s not true that Paypal always sides with the buyer. I’m a buyer who is in a dispute with a seller, for whom the dispute has yet to turn out well. It’s been going on for 10 months now. The seller used the words “works perfectly” in four pl... 
Can a vintage piece over 40 years old be Highend
Except for my Koetsu onyx, all of my equipment is between 30 (Futterman OTL3s, VPI HW 19 MK IV) and 60 (Altec 604Cs) years old. As another post pointed out, it’s good to have caps, etc replaced. About 5 years ago, I had all the caps in my amps, Be... 
What’s in your system today that you also had 10 years ago?
My ears.yes, they need upgrading but I’m afraid my age is outpacing medical advancement.  
Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?
Kosst_amojan:i have an architect who knows what he’s doing. We are not going full blown passive house, and there will be an air exchange system. Windows will open and close, etc. That said, tighter buildings are the future. When we started out, ou... 
Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality?
You all have been brainwashed, imho 
Is elliptical the best stylus profile
I have Van den Hul re-tip my cartridges. I have never been disappointed. 
Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality?
Last week, I went to pick up a subwoofer from a guy that I had bought it from via an online forum. He lives in a huge huge mansion in an exclusive neighborhood. He makes a living by designing hi end cable for the Pentagon. I thought he he would be... 
What music or equipment gifts did you get for Christmas this year?
I’m restoring a 1865 brick townhouse, and the “gift” I will eventually have this spring is the atelier being turned into my home office/studio/listening room. It it will be insulated with Roxul: the walls with 6” and the ceiling with 14”. Instead ...
