| What speaker cables work well with Nordost Valhall I found originally Nordost Red Dawn to be really nice so I picked up a set of SPM speaker cables and have not looked back, I have since upgraded all my cables but not my speaker wire. You like NOrdost why not try a step or two down from Valhalla w... | |
| Conrad Johnson Primier 16ls1 vs 16ls2 owners... I can only speak to the version 2, which I have and love. I have used it quite a lot and it was an original demo model on top of that. After more than 2 years and a lot of service easily 1,000 to 1,500 hours a year I have yet to replace a tube. I ... | |
| Help Please A tube CD player would be warm but don't know any enough about what's out there that would do what you want. Hope this helps | |
| ACAPPELLA CD RECOMMENDATIONS Recently picked up Christopher Tye's Latin & English Church Music with the choir of Magdalen College Oxford, it has some recorder music but mostly acapella, have found it heavenly to listen to | |
| The effect of the Expanding Universe on turntables I would not disagree with the warpage of time and space. I think it allows for the variety of different reactions we have individually to sounds as well as sights. The problem really is we are all slightly warped in our preceptions and get more be... | |
| 845 SET recommendation Verdier from France also makes an 845 that might be worth looking into. | |
| Any tube subwoofers out there? I appreciate the response of Rwwear because that appears to be a reasonable answer as to why not. Some of the answers as to how it might be achieved intrique me and are worth considereing. .My listening is much more geared towards the higher frequ... | |
| Amplifier Hum I too had a hum problem. T began by turning off my source components, still a hum, then my preamp still a hum. Tried a diffeent amp, still a hum. Changed out the cables from the amp to preamp hum was gone. Though sometimes the hum might be just be... | |
| what made you get into high end gear. My first sound system was a one box phonograph record changer with a small speaker in the front covered with a grill, late 50's. I thought it was great then my parents got a Stromberg=Carlson multiplex stereo cabinet with phonograph and tuner and ... | |
| Rachmaninov for beginners What is not mentioned above is that Rachmaninoff was not only a great composer but made is living for the most part as a concert performer, perhaps the last great pianist/composer. His hands were massive, said to equal Liszt's, which is why it is ... | |
| Whick system is better for 70K retail? For the same price or near it on Audiogon you can get C-J's Premier 16 LSII which was a mini-ART and far superior to the 17, Having said that, the only reason to go with the first is fewer components and easier matching IMHO | |
| Looking for phono stage recommendations A vote for the Thor TA-3000. I can say I tried a number of different ones in my system before hearing the Thor and saying YES. It is my ears so take it with a grain of salt or two. I listened to the Rogue, Herron, Pass, and Conrad-Johnson. The lat... | |
| Best recording / performance Dvorak Cello conc. I would heartliy recommend your #3 choice. Von Karajan's conducting was always, for me, a more dramatic presentation, involving and alive in ways others simply did not achieve. For me he is one of the few conductors that I can almost identify just... | |
| does more power=better quality ? I have been listening to music since before a 45 watt ss amp was the biggest baddest thing around, a Sansui AU999, for those who remember. Graphs, are indeed a point for noting and do indicate basic paramaters for measurement, squarewave formation... | |
| Best recording / performance Dvorak Cello conc. The Rostopovich is my opionion the best or at lesst the most warm and romantic version done to date. I believe it is paired with Tchaikovsky's Rococo Variations. An outstanding performance. |
