| New CDP vs. older used and more expensive player I've owned the Krell KAV-300 since 2002, purchased secondhand. It just gets better, the better the system gets.I tried newer designs from Arcam, Musical Fidelity(TriVista Dac) and Perpetual Tech among others, but always preferred the Krell. It's e... | |
| Musical Heaven, NOT Audio or Speaker heaven … Don't forget ATC and Harbeth(especially Compact 7 and Monitor 40 speakers) if you REALLY want music and not hifi.A great combination is ATC pre/power SCA2/SPA2-150 and Harbeth Compact 7s. I've had this set-up since April 2005, and feel sublimely h... | |
| What do you know about Musicjapan? I ordered two classical discs from musicjapan on Amazon Uk in July 2006, of Richter playing Bartok, Prokofiev, Beethoven and Mozart concertos, on Toshiba/EMI 24 bit remastered CDs. They are simply gorgeous, took 9 days to get to Liverpool UK from ... | |
| First song to "Blow You Away"... 1973, I was into Bowie, T.Rex, Zeppelin, Purple, I'd just bought Fireball...every thursday when I get in from school, everyone else would be out for a couple of hours more. Time for my best music! Well, one day I noticed that my elder sister's boy... | |

| Help with Brahms CD's Trio Fontenay's complete Brahms Piano Trios are (or were?) on Teldec Ultima 8573 87792-2. I don't have the Apex numbers but they are the same performances. The advantage of the Ultima set is the 2-disc format. If you like the Brahms Piano Quartets... | |
| Prince Of Pagodas I've know two CD versions: Knussen & London Sinfonietta on Virgin VCD7 59578-2 (2 discs, complete with Britten's own cuts on the Decca version restored); and a 51min suite of excerpts with Slatkin and the BBC Symphony on CHANDOS CHAN 10111. Bo... | |
| How is your many titles in your digital collection 1500 CDs, 2 SACDs(bought for CD layer), nothing else. Here in UK there are still many good classical concerts on FM to supplement your disc-listening! "Do you listen to them all?" is a misconceived question, because I listened to them as I bought ... | |
| Arcam decision Simply, buy the dearest! With Arcam, it's always worth getting the top models. I've owned Alpha 8, Alpha 9, and have extensive experience of CD23t. Each is better, significantly, than the one before. Bear in mind that the older Cd92 has the dCS ri... | |

| Burr Brown vs. Wolfson dacs..... It's not DAC you do, it's the way DAC you do it! | |
| power cord replacement...source or amp first? Agreed with above posts. I would add that power-hungry equipment (i.e. with high power consumption) can often seem to benefit more; and also check whether your own equipment includes any internal RF or other mains filtering devices. I f it doesn't... | |
| Cables for Musical Fidelity/Dynaudio system? Can you get hold of Kimber? I use a 4TC\8TC biwire combination between Musical Fidelity X-A200 monoblocs and Harbeth Compact 7 speakers. Both these products have a full bass, but the balance is just right. If you cannot biwire, try the 4TC because... | |
| What's the best XLR interconnects for Krell? From a lady: between Krell Kav-300CD and krc-3series2 pre, I had great results with Harmonic Technology Pro-Silway 2 XLR. There is now a Pro-Sil 3 available, but I can't currently find a supplier here in UK so haven't heard it. UK distribution, an... | |
| I'm almost too embarrassed to ask, but..... Whoa! It's my turn to watch out. I should have said "trumpets and trombones are nearly always hard RIGHT". Sorry about that. Guess we all have trouble telling left from right sometimes! Isn't stereo a wonderful invention. |
