| My new CDP does SACD too.... Any of the San Francisco Symphony's Mahler cycle (on their own label), take your pick, though I particularly like the 4th and 6th Symphony recordings. Also, the Harmonia Mundi releases have been uniformly very good to excellent--the de Falla Tri-C... | |
| Low-powered, class A, solid-state integrated amps If you go back a lot of years, the Musical (then British) Fidelity A-1 integrated, one of the sweetest-sounding pieces of equipment they ever made. | |
| Out of Print SACD I do have it, it's even sealed. Do you want it for the SACD layer, or just CD? Anyway, please contact me, I'd be willing to sell it if you're interested. By the way, Classic Records released part of this disc as a 24/96 DAD, which I have as well. | |
| Out of Print SACD I may have it--I'll check my collection tonight. | |
| Yet another VPI 16.5 thread I have had mine for about 20 years, no problems with it. Occasionally if you do a lot of records the fluid tank will fill and the unit will shut down until it all evaporates, but that's clearly noted in the manual and is normal. I like the fact th... | |
| NJ Audio Society? I could tell you those, but then I'd have to kill you.Actually, I don't remember them myself, that's why I suggest contacting me. | |
| The Rite of Spring I agree with those of you who are not that impressed with Stravinski's own recording. It often happens that the composers are not the ideal conductors of their own works, unless they also are trained conductors (like Bernstein, Boulez, etc.). I fo... | |
| The Rite of Spring The 1976 Sir Colin Davis recording with the Concertgebouw (I believe) on Philips is my favorite reading, with excellent sonics. Was available on CD, may still be. I have a couple of SACDs of it, but haven't listened to them yet, will report when I... | |
| NJ Audio Society? The only change from what Rdean posted is the URL address, which has changed to http://njas.gngdiscoveries.com/. I'd suggest just contacting me, preferably at the Zaisgroup address above, for more information.Rdean, while you're racing your Porsch... | |
| NJ Audio Society? Barry--feel free to contact me, I'll give you the information.Russ | |
| Classical Music on the Radio Also see about getting WQXR. Your local NPR station might also have some classical shows, though in my area (NYC area) they seem to have less and less classical programming.A lot of stations, like FMT and QXR, are available over the internet--a fr... | |
| Who can convert single ended to balanced? I think there might have been another company that made upgraded EQ boxes for Thiel 3.5s (the speaker that hooked me on high end, by the way), but I don't recall them, maybe others might chime in here. Is it possible Marchand might do something li... | |
| Who can convert single ended to balanced? Wasn't there a company, I think it was JPS, that made a modification for the Thiel 3.5 EQ box called the Golden Flute? You might contact them--not sure if it's the same company as the one that makes cables now, but worth a try. | |
| Two KSA 80B power amplifiers I owned a KSA 80 for a number of years. I recall that Krell offered the option to convert the KSA80 into a KMA 160 at the factory, but I don't recall that mine was bridgable. You probably should give Krell a call. | |
| Best cables for Jadis DA88 Signature amplifier By the way, Milimetr, you're following the same path I did as well in coming to Jadis--I had an ARC SP-11 MkII and Classic 150 monoblocks for many years that I traded in for Jadis. It is a different direction, and each brand has its strengths, but... |
