| Classical Recordings from the Golden Age I believe he DG box set is of the 1963 recordings with the Berlin Philharmonic. As far as the Japanese reissue of the 7th, I can't find it listed but my memory tells me that it comes from the above said collection and that it was the best recordin... | |
| Classical Recordings from the Golden Age lowrider, I'm not sure if the RCO anthologies are still in print. However, prices regarding arcane classical titles always seem to plunge over time.I only have Toscanini on vinyl, the complete Beethoven and Brahms box sets with the NBC. My though... | |
| Clean Power without the drawbacks of Conditioning Filtering. Advice? orpheus, a dedicated 20 amp line may make a difference but it doesn't do anything about the electricity coming from outside. My understanding is that there are variables with respect to the degrees of effectiveness from a dedicated line. Would you... | |
| Classical Recordings from the Golden Age lowrider, I've seen the entire RCO anthology collection for as low as $350.00-ish. The prices may continue to fall, which is what I'm waiting for. That Volume 1 that you cite is pretty hard to find by itself. I also believe that Mengelberg is the ... | |
| Classical Recordings from the Golden Age Elizabeth, do you know if the Pearl label has closed shop? They are no longer listed on the arkivmusic website and I can't find a home website for them. Yes, EMI, DG, Phillips, etc..., all of the larger labels have reissued a vast catalogue of his... | |
| Clean Power without the drawbacks of Conditioning Filtering. Advice? If you want clean AC without the disadvantages of using a power conditioner, then I would take a look at the Akiko Audio Corelli or the smaller Minelli. They simply plug into a power strip.https://www.akikoaudio.com/en/products I've been planning ... | |
| Classical Recordings from the Golden Age lowrider, are you aware of these RCO radio recordings?https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000UAZD2/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_7?smid=A28JFWC28I1EU7&psc=1 | |
| Classical Recordings from the Golden Age Thanks Roxy, I have been looking at the Decca mono box set for a few months now and am glad that you give it such high praise. With respect to the Tahra label, they are now unfortunately finito. I do own a few CD's on the Tahra label. | |
| Classical Recordings from the Golden Age lowrider, I forgot to ask, any knowledge about the source of these radio recordings, i.e. the Orfeo Salzburg recordings and how these were recorded? How much reference or hifi from these sources can be reasonably expected given their age and from ... | |
| Classical Recordings from the Golden Age lowrider, I borrowed the d'Orfeo George Szell box set from the library via its state wide borrowing system. I've also purchased a number of box sets i.e. Irmgard Seefried, Mozart Piano Sonatas (various artists), Wilhelm Furtwangler. I believe I ei... | |
| Classical Recordings from the Golden Age lowrider, you may enjoy reading this citation by Rachmaninoff,https://www.gramophone.co.uk/feature/rachmaninov-on-the-future-of-broadcastingThe Orfeo d'Or live radio broadcast recordings are vey good. Most are from the Salzburg Festival. I highly ... | |
| Thoughts on VTA...... Azimuth is a huge deal but with a mono cartridge, vertical tracking is inaudible, even with a true mono cartridge. | |
| Thoughts on VTA...... For me, having a C Through design ruler helps with making quick approximate references. If I notice that my tonearm is level, then I've found that I prefer it raised slightly at the head-shell for a fuller sonic signature. This may cost me a littl... | |
| Classical Recordings from the Golden Age Thanks lowrider! Seems you've resurrected this thread so thank you. As far as Testament, I do have a few. My last purchase was a Richter recording of Schubert on the APR label. What I've been looking for recently are live radio broadcasts. The Sal... | |
| To DAC or not to DAC? To state the obvious, the primary goal of a DAC is to make digital files sound analogue. Which ever DAC, CD player, streamer, etc... does this effectively is, in my mind, doing what's expected. Which then brings in to question the characteristic q... |
