| Recommendations for a few high SQ classical CDs n80,Once upon a time, I heard a report on the radio that talked about popularity of opera among people who otherwise prefer punk rock.

| Recommendations for a few high SQ classical CDs And, if you ever want to feel "less serious", but are in the mood for a guilty pleasure, New Year’s Concert 1987 with Karajan. However, you have to get Japanese K2 CD and not the regular one for $10 or so.http://www.elusivedisc.com/Herbert-von-Kar... | |
| Recommendations for a few high SQ classical CDs Mahler’s 5th symphony by Frank Shipway. There are two sound carriers available, or at least they were, CD and Hybrid SACD.

| Which Nakamichi to choose? "Nothing wrong with the Sony Walkman portable Cassette players as far as I can tell. "They had a weak spot in that connecting film between two parts (the one that cassette goes in and the one that closes it). I guess "interconnect" would be the cl... | |
| Does hearing the best in high end audio make your opinions more valid? inorganic,You just gave me an idea. Why not record a piano and some singing in that same room that a reproduction system is placed in? I know, recording technology will be very basic, and so on, but it is still closer to being controlled than imag... | |
| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money I guess, with this thread, we’ve reached the bottom, and we have to stop, and that is what's bothering us.
