| Best recordings for the following... For the 4 Seasons my preference goes to the Philips recording of I Musici -- available separately (426 944-2) or, better still in a boxed Vivaldi Edition Vol.2 (456 186-2). IMO both volume 1&2 are excellent.Praudio: The Dorati Nutracker on Phi... | |

| Brahms Quintet for Clarinet and Strings, op. 115. Otto, you are right, it's indeed a mono recording from the late '30s and available on CD (or was...). As Frogman notes, it's sonically bearable.Frogman, I'll have to check out the Leister w/Amadeus version (esp. vs the Vermeer!)-- thanks for the r... | |
| Who R U? Detlof, one release is on the "The Blues Brothers" film album. There are many others I don't remember right now unfortunately -- but can research if you wish!Cheers | |
| Who R U? Welcome on board, Dave! No relation to Cab of "Minnie the Moocher" fame:) | |
| Brahms Quintet for Clarinet and Strings, op. 115. Otto, I too like the Vermeer Quator on Orfeo. However I prefer an old EMI (references)release: Quator Busch & Reginald Kell.Cheers! | |
| Upgrading power cord.. proven upgrade? or crap? There *are* palpable reasons, it seems, which I cannot actually reproduce -- an ee could probably.It might be worth trying a used power cord on your present system. One such made an important difference on a tiny micromega integrated! | |
| How BIG is yours? Mike: No, no, there is hope! You only have around 4500 (!) hrs of music -- and growing steadily. It'll only take you about 7months of 7/24 listening to go through the collection. Think of Detlof, Cornfed & others! | |
| What is the BEST resistor for audio use I second Albert's motion and regret I have neither the skills nor the parts availability to try this! | |
| Audio at 54 Khz by Tannoy I remember reading a french article claiming proof that we *perceive* sounds beyond our aural limits (through the bones, I believe). If this is the case, wide-bandwidth reproduction is useful: many instruments' harmonics go well beyond the standar... | |
| ML 390S vs dCS Verdi/Purcell/Elgar Plus Mike, I find the Capitole excellent -- but not quite in the same class as CD-12, the big Lurne, Burmester, Goldmund or Boulder. Haven't carefully auditioned the big ML, so I can't venture an opinion. Also, I listen to classical, so others' mileage... | |
| My ML380S has static when I change volume Using the remote or the volume pot? If latter, see above. If the former, I can't tell, sorry. What's MLevs' take on this?Good luck! | |
| What speakers are replace Klipsch horns? Correction, Bob: *DO* listen to the wife ->). She kindly offered to KEEP the Khorns AND look into an SET for them!!!Re, SET (=single-ended triodes) is an amp design. There are many in the market, most are expensive. The sound is dynamic, with g... | |
| Have you heard Rockport speakers? Bill for your last paragraph: hear! hear! I believe that you will have only pleasant surprises and enjoyment. Worth living for!(Off topic, sorry, but enthused by your approach.) Cheers! | |
| SACD review site a go Now, I need your input ... ...for people not (yet) on the SACD bandwagon.A sort of simple, practical SACD 101: the sound (with analogies: vs vinyl, redbook cd, master tape...), the recording technology, the bandwidth, the "how-to" of choosing a player, the s/w, etc.Great id... |
