| Classical Recordings from the Golden Age I really like the lineup of Volume 2 but I'll wait for a better price...$40 for a worn Good Will copy, no thanks. It's good to see many performances being released on orchestra record labels. The few I've heard are good quality.I think I'll go for... | |
| Clean Power without the drawbacks of Conditioning Filtering. Advice? @atmasphere, that sounds like the ideal situation. And I'll bet you run balanced electronics, so low-noise and no grounding issues. | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? With the best mono’s, the sound is expansive and fills the space between the speakers completely. Granted, there’s nothing outside the speakers, but there’s a certain "rightness" or "correctness" garnered from mono recordings that’s really hard to... | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? There are no tricks involved with acoustic instruments when proper mic placement is used. I'm referring to all forms of classical and small jazz combos, even when the combo includes an electric guitar. A revealing system should reproduce a 3D imag... | |
| Sunfire Standard or Signature Edition Yeah, that’s the same manual that I used. Bridging and bi-amping them is the way to go. I used one amp rated at 300wpc, 600w into my 4 ohm speakers... sounded terrific in my 12’ x 16’ room. Non-fatiguing, wide and deep 3D soundstaging, and a power... | |
| Sunfire Standard or Signature Edition The Tell-tale sign... model 300 operates at about 390 joules, 600 signature about 470 joules.Also, back of Sunfire Signature 600https://www.ukaudiomart.com/details/649279940-sunfire-signature-600-ii-one-of-the-most-powerful-ampl...https://forum.au... | |
| Sunfire Standard or Signature Edition The top one appears to be a 1st version Sunfire 300 w/ gold posts, captive power cord (no IEC), no power switch... bottom looks like the later model 300x2 w/ plastic posts, captive power cord, no power switch. Standard models operate at 390 joules... | |
| Sunfire Standard or Signature Edition They both look like Standard 300-2 models, 5amp fuse and captive power cord. I’ll check my archives. | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? A low noise floor is required for holographic imaging. This improves dynamics, transparency, depth.It's true that if it's not recorded that way, it wont play back with holography.Great example is with Wagner and Strauss, the solo horn in the dist... | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? I agree with you @twoleftears, I love when the 3D image extends far into the front wall. As long as the soundstage is proportional; width, height, and depth, it sounds great to me.On my system each recording presents different imaging, which I gu... | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? It's true that a live classical performance is not holographic, but with good acoustics it does sound layered. That's why I dislike many modern close mic'd recordings. The imaging is flat; how many orchestras have the brass section seated up front... | |
| Classical Recordings from the Golden Age Wasn't aware of the RCO anthologies. Looks good.They go way back... https://www.allmusic.com/album/anthology-of-the-royal-concertgebouw-orchestra-vol-1-1935-1950-mw0001... | |
| Does anyone use white gloves to handle records? Same with PS Audio components. They come with a pair of white gloves to protect the finish. | |
| The Music Room @mitch2 ,Very well explained. I found their pricing to be very fair. Have done some trades with them and purchases. | |
| The Music Room @djones51, ok, so same situation as me. I wish I was given an explanation by the rep for the low price. |
