| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck Asa than you for throwing an intimate light. Of course, I put forth the proposition that darkness is a personal affair -- but we (I) may sometimes try to pull others into our (my) perceived darkness... (we'll cook/hang together).A more positive ap... | |
| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck I am glad that a new normality has returned. Clueless remains (clueless -- not adieu), Asa: are the waters are dark because I made them so & you believed me?Detlof: I have not yet grasped knowledge allowing me to append a comment -- however fr... | |
| music , mind , thought and emotion Music & the visual arts, impart immediate effect upon us -- as opposed to, say, literature that requires a vehicle (reading).Music in particular, being non-visual (whereas our basic defenses mostly are) can inspire spontaneous emotional action... | |
| Cocktail of choice when listening to fav music? Twl, the bottle, a few friends and something to nibble on (foi gras nature...) and music. I would like once to try a Chasse-Spleen '66-67.I thoroughly agree with Bishop who means spring water, of course. | |
| Bach Matthaus Passion Ethannnn the second question is easy: in Bach's passions, Matthaus=Matthew. As to best... that's a tough one. I would go for Klemperer/Philramonia Orch & Chorus & a nice cast of voices (EMI - 1961 recording/both vinyl & cd). There's a ... | |
| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck It is with extreme sorrow that I take upon myself the heavy burden of imparting the irreversibly sad news that Dr Jung is no longer with us...It has been rumoured that he was a great admirer of Dr Goebbels aka the Ogilvy of pre-war advertising (or... | |
| Review: Neuance Alpha & Beta shelf / Apollo Aria 455 rack Stand Thanks, Jade. I already started with bubble under the power supplies of both cdp & pre: ~25pds each, sitting on a "bee-hive" composite shelf (I'm going to replace this w/ a Neuance). I have better clarity WITHOUT sacrificing low-end -- i.e., t... | |

| Cocktail of choice when listening to fav music? My mouth is watering, I'm thirsty, and I have no Yquem to quench my thirst... If I may say so, that's a wine club with excellent taste-- good for you! I remember buying Haut Brion for FFr ~18/bottle (that used to be $~3) about 20 years ago! If mem... | |
| ONE shot to show off your System's Stuff Since Tobias beat me to vocals (Bach, Magnificat), I propose Mahler 2nd Symphony. Klemperer conducting (EMI).You can check reproduction of harmonics & female vocals, also has sudden dynamics & percussion! | |
| Who Are You? or should I say "who were you?" My, my, that makes this even more difficult, Texan. Under this new light, I'll have to ponder the question a bit... under the perspective, "given your relatives, who the h*ll are YOU"?Well... | |
| Cocktail of choice when listening to fav music? Twl, I just got up after falling over in my chair and nearly rolling into one speaker (sudden dynamics pushed me away from danger): '82 Cheval Blanc (!!!), 40 yr old Margaux...!Those are worth more than my system!Why do you live so far away -- lif... | |
| Dvorak 9th Symphony You give me more than I deserve, Detlof; thank you. Fact is, I've had good guidance (from people like Detlof)! Must check out that Reiner... | |

I'd like to try your bubble wrap trick.I have my cdp sitting directly on a beta, stock feet, the beta on 4 upturned ceramic cones. The cones are on a lightweigh... |
