Sat front row at the symphony...
juanmanuelfangioli, One of my favorite recordings is Rachmaninoff Symphonic Dances, Dallas Symphony, conducted by Donald Johanos, 1967.  The companion recording of Copland works (Rodeo, Fanfare for the common man) shares the same recording techni... 
Sat front row at the symphony...
mahler123, The best listening position is the conductor's head on the podium.  He is closest to all the instruments and gets maximum detail.  He hears the best balance, so all the instruments are maximally revealed.  All instruments are more or l... 
Sat front row at the symphony...
Petaluman, You said, "It's not about the sound."  Half true.  The live experience combines sound and visuals.  But the next time you attend a live concert, close your eyes and listen honestly to the sound.  The sound is the main subject of this d... 
Sat front row at the symphony...
The best position in the hall for any ensemble is the conductor on the podium, front stage center.  That is, for maximum detail which is the basis of tone and other characteristics of music.  As an experienced performer in orchestra, chamber group... 
Does anyone know where this J. Gordon Holt comes from?
Idiotic statement of Jim Austin--".....an album shouldn't sound like live music unless it was recorded to sound like that."  Why are albums recorded NOT to sound like live music?  Deliberate distortion like this, antithetical to the live experien... 
Does anyone know where this J. Gordon Holt comes from?
Gordon and Harry both emphasized that the supreme goal of a high quality audio system is high fidelity to real sounds in a real space.  Nowadays, the lesser goal of merely what sounds good is pursued.  The latter goal merely relegates such an audi... 
Experiences with the Degritter RCM
clear thinker, The purpose of record cleaning is to purify the sound.  Before there is obvious noise, there may be enough distortion in the tone quality, space, etc.  With amplifiers there is no obvious noise, but euphonic amps distort the tone i... 
Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
chowkwan, "A 1/2" A80 + 468 = live."  I'm guessing you mean the Studer A80.  What's the 468?  Of course the source is the most important factor in achieving live high fidelity.  Aside from that, how do you achieve clean power?  Which NBS power co... 
Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
Thanks.  How do you apply and then remove the 25 watt resistor when connecting the battery with the Giandel?  Which smart plug do you use for recharging the battery, and how? Giandel actually recommends 500 Ah of batteries for the 5000.  However,... 
Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
sirnui, I have been worried about you.  Did you get a severe shock from connecting the battery to the Giandel?  Did the sparks cause a fire? Maybe you are not happy with the Amperetime/Giandel, or else you would have reported enthusiastically by... 
Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
I looked again at the Giandel site, and I see four standard 15A outlets, plus a hard wire connection for high power appliances, to the right of the four outlets.  I don't know if you are planning to use this special connection, but it would be int... 
Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
Terrific!  I had thought the Giandel just has standard 15A outlets.  I doubt that a 30A outlet would be better for sound quality, although it will enable higher power demands.  Adapters can degrade the sound, so plugging the Puritan with the Ultim... 
Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
sirnui, Did you connect your Shunyata to the single 30A RV output of the Ecoflow, and then your components to the multiple outlets of the Shunyata? As I understand it, this is the analogous sequence used by ricevs’ friend Oeno, with the Giandel s... 
Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
I wonder if the last deleted post was a response to me.  If so, hopefully it can be restated in acceptable language.  
Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
A similar situation is if you keep electronics on all the time, or even on standby all the time.  Either the battery gets depleted faster because most of the time you are not listening, or you have to keep the battery charger going all the time.  ...
