| PS Audio PS600 Leave on, Turn off or Unplug Jtinn,Thanks for your recommendation.But how sound quality could be benefited from leaving it on all the times or floating it by cones? Otto | |
| Most Sublime Beethoven Symphony All,I hope that the conductor "Karl Boehm" mentioned here is the one I know - "Karl BOHM" (1894 - 1981). For "sublime" performances, I will second Greg's suggestion. Just a FYI, some of those recordings are mono.I recently listened to Schuricht's ... | |

| The most erotic passages in classical music For me, it would be the Carmina Burana by Carl Orff. Especially the "Omnia Sol Temperat" (The sun warms everything) performed by Fischer-Dieskau under the direction of Eugen Jochum.Enjoy! | |

| What is your favorite Strauss The Last Four Songs? Newbee,Truly intense music indeed. There is another recording by Klemperer. That album released by EMI contains Siegfried Idyll (very rare original orchestration version), Mahler Symphony No. 9 and Metamorphosen. As most of Klemperper's interpreta... | |

| Have you heard the Aria amps by Mike Elliott? Like PhilD, I got my SA-100s totally rebuilt (Premium Gold) with Silver Audio internal wiring and 15-amp IEC receptacle. They are very close to Aria by the information posted on Alta Vista Audio web site. The sound is very netural and not too tuby... |
