| Klipsch heresy questions Yes, the Heresy speakers will be a major step up. I went from a pair of Cerwin Vega's to the Klipsch Cornwalls myself. You do not need a whole lot of power to drive them, as the first responder said. If you do have a SS amp, you just won't want to... | |
| Early Music aka Historically Informed Music There is indeed a thriving early music scene in Pittsburgh and Cleveland both, as well as pretty much every other major musical center in the US. The Pittsburgh Symphony is one of the very best in the nation now, as well, easily in the top five, a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hi Orpheus - yes, I have seen that film, it's a good one, and of course a great soundtrack. I think we perhaps may have discussed it on this thread a long time ago?? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hi guys - saw this article this morning and thought you would be interested:http://billplakemusic.org/2011/08/03/the-beginning-jazz-improvisers-biggest-mistake/ | |
| "Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers I would say stick to tubes. However, this reminds me of a funny thread once where someone asked tube lovers that if a gun were held to their head and they had to listen to a solid state amp, the overwhelming choice was Naim. My brother has one, an... | |
| Best Karmina Burana performance There is a great one from the 80s by Ricardo Chailly, I think with a German orchestra, don't remember the label. But it is an excellent performance. | |
| Pure Music vs. Audirvana Plus Thanks all for your comments - I have the newest MacBookPro, with two Thunderbolt and two USB ports. I bought an external hard drive that has both hookups. I do not have a network set-up, everything is hard wired. I downloaded a free trial version... | |
| Primaluna - Rolling pre tubes question... Hi - I have a Dialogue 2, and I had a 12au7 go out on me, so I bought a new pair, and they were not as good as the stock tubes were - the stock au7s in the PrimaLuna amps are pretty good. Next time, I will be buying them, as they were also less ex... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hi guys - I am still lurking here, and feel compelled to agree 100% with Rok's last post. This is a major reason why so many professional musicians do not have much respect for audiophiles - most of them, in my experience, don't actually care abou... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10 (and Rok) - I have been away from this board for some time again, and have returned this morning to read what has passed here the last couple of weeks with great sadness. I feel that I must respond to some of the comments made here. I pick th... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frpgman has made some more excellent posts - I would add only one thing in response to O-10's latest post about subjectivity and his example of 30 different people seeing 30 different things when looking at the same object. No one is denying this.... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hello all - I have been away from this board for several days, and may be for several more. I have read the conversation going on between O-10 and Frogman with great fascination. O-10, your latest statement, "Frogman, our problem in regard to the ... | |
| Do you listen to non-music media? I have some comedy albums, but the largest part of my spoken word collection is Shakespeare plays, most of them from the Caedmon label. For Shakespeare lovers, there is also a great record by John Gielgud of his Ages of Man one man show. This is a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados By the way, it should be said here of all threads - RIP Clark Terry. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Joe Alessi is a damn good player, period. In fact, I believe him to be the very best trombone player in the world - at least I can't think of another who is quite his equal. Met him when he came to do a master class at my undergrad school. One of ... |
