| The very best Sibelius recordings in analog My single recommendation is Dylana Jensen playing the Violin Concerto with Ormandy conducting. RCA label. Her magnum opus. Actually everything about this is recording is great; Her instrument (a violin on loan - sad story about that for another... | |
| Amplifier Upgrade Decision The JC1s seem the default option. The advantages of monoblocks are (1) forced separation of the two channels - not a biggie - and in any event you do get 'dual mono' power amps; (2) The separate chassis are very useful for heatsinking. It can me... | |
| Speaker recommendation for married couple Notes from the wife :)Thanks everyone for the input! I really do leave these decisions to my audio geek - he can have whatever he wants and I just want him to be happy. Unfortunately for him, he has a burning urge to pass it through me for appro... | |
| Phono amp as good as Shindo Aurieges phono section Consider the Fosgate Signature. Golden sound. | |
| How good is the Technics 1200 Mk2 with all the KAb upgrades? I've heard them sound great. There are other upgrades that also take it to a higher level including bearing upgrade, platter upgrade(Mike New from Australia does what are some of the best, external power supply and Isanoe feet.

| Albinoni's adagio You can go to Presto Classical. They have sound samples. I have used that feature several times. Come to think of it, sometimes I buy more than one! | |
| My personal experience with Direct Drive versus Belt Drive My personal experience is short and sweet. I had a Marantz Turntable. It was Belt Driven and basically a rebadged Clearaudio Emotion.

| The "most foolish" loudspeaker tweak/upgrade ... is So mitch2 what are the reasons? One can only guess. But has anyone actually done this 'upgrade'? Surely it is impossible for a human being to be that stupid. | |
| The "most foolish" loudspeaker tweak/upgrade ... is Alpha gt, IMHO you are correct. 'To each his own': I would only add that, as members of the human race with our foibles and our sense of humour, we will make fun of silliness whenever we can. For my own part if I ever bought such cables I woul... | |

| Supra ply 3.4 vs classic 6.0 Agree with chrisr. As a generality a heavier gauge is better but there comes a point where there is no longer any benefit. How long are your speaker cables? | |
| Why are low impedance speakers harder to drive than high impedance speakers So, when I look at a speaker with an 8 ohm rating, it is easier to drive than a speaker with a 4 ohm load. This does not make sense to me, although I know it to be true. I have yet been able to have it explained to me that makes it clear. Can s... |
