| Deja Vu All Over Again VERY sexy car, agree. What about the previous model (xk 120). I fell in love with both as a kid. Never got over them | |
| Music for "Tough Times" Judit -- which version do you recommend for the Duet?My nominations for... ...music to jump off a bridge: Mahler's Songs of the Earth with Ferrier....music to keep you off the bridge: "Never Get Out of These Blues Alive" JL Hooker | |
| Time for everbodys Top Ten list..... My TOP list tends to change by the week (or according to my moods...).The latest specials (random order):* Brahms 1st piano concerto, A. Curzon* Mahler Das lied von erde/Walter, Ferrier* Mahler 5th Symphony/ Barbirolli* M Davis "Bitches Brew"* JL ... | |
| Krell Amps vs others As above, regarding "clas A" & how much of it we really get. Other than Bear's Symphony1, another amp that runs in A for a long time is the Symphonic Line Kraft 250 (stereo & monos: the latter offer ~250 A instantaneous @ peaks). BUT, like... | |
| Short notes on Sibelius Seven Symphonies Hi Tweeker, I'm interested in yr appraisal of Jarvi/Stockholm. My reference is Barbirolli/Halle for all symphonies & I second your commendation of Segerstam/Danish RSO. Indeed, in certain passages I prefer Segerstam to Barbirolli.BTW, Segersta... | |
| B & W N802's Vs Revel Studios Vs. Mezzo Utopias Goone, IMO none of the two speakers you mention get the prize for "warmth". I would EXPECT the Mezzo to sound better in clarity & bass with your Pass -- BTW, JM has used Alephs to check their speakers... As Brandon above, I too find that bigge... | |
| Possible to run a turntable direct to an amp? ANY phono equipped with a volume control will do. The rest, i.e. choosing WHICH phono, is up to your musical tastes! Cheers | |
| Will my QUADs drive Spendor S100s? The 100s are not easy to drive to tonally correct results. That said, I once drove them with a 30W DNM -- it was OK at reasonable listening levels. I do think bi-amping (mid+high/ bass) rather than tri-wiring is a good idea.I assume there is no wa... | |
| B & W N802's Vs Revel Studios Vs. Mezzo Utopias The Mezzo Utopia are also nice speakers... but, see Ksales above! | |
| Tannoy? Tannoy are quite reputed for their speakers. Apart from their Westminster, Canterbury, etc (I remember ogling over as a kid) they now have a series called TD(?) with dual-concentric drivers (mid-bass) and hi-rez tweets on them. I heard one of thes... | |
| Micromega CD players? Any reliable models? The Solo, Duo, Duo cd3, and the Trio, were all reliable (as far as I know). Certain Stages needed some kind of mod (factory supplied) & worked OK after... I had a Trio for some time; the transport was, indeed, excellent (& yes, the Trio wa... | |
| CAT SL-1 questions I'll try to answer some of the questions: The Signature has even less noise than the previous models. The Ultimate has a better sounding phono than the Signature. The line from the 3 onwards is very good IMO, with dynamics and musicality winning o... | |
| So you're an audiophile - are you also a musician? Bishopwill notes: "...What I and another classically trained musician in the room heard was a mediocre clarinet player with intonation all over the place, lousy articulation, and no sense of correct performance practice for Weber..."Quite so. THAT... | |
| Deja Vu All Over Again Rockvirgo, you let go a XKE 3,8? I can identify with your plight...I'm still mourning a a pair of 15-ohm Rogers LS3/5A, early serial number... | |
| music , mind , thought and emotion I second the malt. Another note, to repeat what I have written elsewhere; I astart enjoying music the most when my cognitive part intervenes the least. Then, I listen to the music rather than pondering on HOW am I perceiving/listening to the music... |
