| Classical composers, symphonies Sibelius, Dvorak, and of course Beethoven for sure. | |
| Anyone else having issues with the Ayon CD-07s transport? Seabury, I erred. It was not USA Audio in Arizona that I was in contact with. Sorry. I'm not sure that this error makes a difference for you though. | |
| Anyone else having issues with the Ayon CD-07s transport? FWIW, and this is not related to an Ayon CDP, but I contacted USA Audio for a quote for the replacement of a Sony Transport in a quality CDP. They wanted $450 (I doubt that this included shipment). I contacted a local repair shop and they replaced... | |
| Notable very small loudspeaker companies (other than Tekton!) Another vote for Silverline. I've owned Bolero's for over 7 years and they clearly aren't going anywhere soon, if ever! :-) | |
| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? A few thoughts which might help. If you speakers are 10 feet apart and only 8 ft distant from your prime listening area that alone could account for some serious imaging and high frequency harshness issues. I would suggest that you move your chair... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados rvpiano, FWIW you can google 'Michael Sheppard, pianist' and you will get several hits which will give you some background on him and this disc. These are for the most part transcriptions (for which I'm a sucker, especially the music of Liszt, Pro... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados RV, FWIW you've got a tough job ahead of you if you want to keep this going. Just not that many classical music enthusiasts on this site, especially ones that will actively participate. Since you are a professional pianist I thought I would mentio... | |
| Jazz for aficionados acman3, thanks for the recommendation. I think ’Going Home’ is a cut on the ’Come Sunday’ CD I referred to. FWIW we played this at a remembrance service for a dear friend. | |
| Jazz for aficionados pryso, You want some good ’spiritual’, try Charlie Haden/Hank Jones’s album "Steal Away" and/or "Come Sunday" (Verve and Universal Music Group, respectively). Works for me. Sorry, no horns. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Ijcazador, If you haven't already heard this, you might like John Ogdon and Brenda Lucas doing some of Rachmaninoff's music for 2 piano's. On ASV CDDCA636. Suite #1, Suite #2, Prelude in C minor Op3 No2, and Russian Rhapsody. | |
| Would you change your amp selection knowing...? How come cable manufacturers don't warn potential customers? Surely they know, more so than amp manufacturers perhaps. | |
| EL34 tubes- alternates to matched octet for Primaluna HP dialogue premium So long as you are using the same brand/type you won’t lose much, if anything, due to the auto bias circuit in the PL amp. FWIW you have much to gain by considering different small NOS tubes, but not so much, I think, when considering power tubes ... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados schubert, 'just takes a thousand changes'At least! :-) But you still need the 'perfect room', properly set up, and a perfectly recorded piece of music. If that doesn't drill down the possibilities for obtaining the sound of real live music I mus... | |
| Question for tube aficionados rvpiano, Check with CJ, but FWIW I can't think of a single reason why tube selection in the line stage would affect the performance of the tubes in the phono stage, except for the obvious one is that the phono stage signal passes thru the line sta... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados One of the downsides of elevating the performance level of an audio system is that one spends more time evaluating the system than actually listening to (and hearing) the music. Witness all of the devotion in this forum to components that are 'rev... |
