| Now what? I am frankly puzzled by your first sentence. The Apollo takes several seconds on average to read what type of disc you have inserted and changes it's settings accordingly. I have never had a problem with it not reading a disc properly, in fact tha... | |
| Aging and Treble and Income? I think Schubert is correct. Today's hifi industry is not at all geared toward classical music, as the original industry was. They assume that people are listening to mostly electronically produced music. This obviously makes a huge difference, as... | |
| Upgrade from Rega P3-24 ..... Hi Adam - that link you posted is dead. | |
| Mozart Fans Only Agree 100% with Frogman on the Gran Partita - a must for Mozart chamber music. He also wrote much other fine wind music, especially for the wind octet, and also arranged a few of his operas for that ensemble. If I could form any chamber ensemble I... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I understand your bowing out here completely, even though you are completely correct. Rok2id, please do not take offense, but you are demonstrating a fine example of that old phrase "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing." There is no o... | |
| Mozart Fans Only I am actually very surprised that others on this board even know who Rott is. Certainly not someone the average classical music lover would ever have heard of. Kudos to Brownsfan! | |
| You are there-they are here Definitely check out the thread Al referenced. I would definitely emphasize the word illusion in your post, though, especially with respect to they are here. Simply not going to happen if you listen to large ensemble music. And I would agree with ... | |
| Listener fatigue: what does it really mean? I would second Brauser's suggestion that you may simply have the volume up too high. A great many audiophiles love to listen at a very high volume level, which will definitely lead to listening fatigue much quicker than listening at reasonable lev... | |
| Ayon Spirit III and Klipsch Cornwalls experience? HI Txguy50 - I use the PrimaLuna Dialogue 2 with my Cornwalls, and it is a nice combo. The Rogue stuff is pretty bright sounding, the PrimaLuna should give you much closer to the sound you are looking for. Another option would be to try an SET int... | |
| Mozart Fans Only The composer who actually went insane was Hugo Wolf, though one could make a case for Schumann as well. | |
| Mozart Fans Only I would second the recommendation for that disc - some friends of mine are on it, though, I should add as a disclaimer. | |
| Upgrade from Rega P3-24 ..... Hi Adam - I know you have said many times you love the Rega sound. Many people who do are not fans of the VPI. I should say that I have no real experience with the VPI tables, and many people love them, this is just what I have heard from many who... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Back to Beethoven - I am about halfway through watching those DVDs I mentioned of Claudio Abbado conducting the Berlin Phil in Rome in 2001. Unbelievable performances - if you have never heard them, you owe it to yourself to do so. Beethoven as it... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Hi Goofyfoot - I used to have a copy of that Glyndebourne one, but I didn't care for it as much as those others I mentioned, so I sold it. Haven't heard the Rene Jacobs. For the period instrument Mozart, I really like Gardiner, though I think I on... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD Now I am very curious about that Krips Don Giovanni recording. Krips is an interesting conductor. I have Siepe singing the Don on the Leinsdorf recording, which is nice, and I also like that they recorded all of the opera, even the numbers that ar... |
