| Why organ music Early Telarc digital organ recordings sound quite bright to me as well, I don't think you're alone there. For Bach, I like the Christopher Herrick cycle on Hyperion, which is pretty well-recorded. The Hell recording is quite good, and the kid is a... | |
| Why organ music Interesting observation. While CDs can, in theory, get the bass notes better than all but the best-cut records, I believe that you're right. Maybe the reason is in part that the recorded space for most organs is a big part of their sound and is us... | |
| SACD King under $7500 I have heard both the Cary and the Marantz SA11 S1, as well as the Sony and a modified Sony SCD 777ES (mine for many years). I would say that they're all very good, but have their own particular sound that you may or may not prefer. I found the Ca... | |
| Why Palladium in cables, wiring, etc. . .? Thank you for asking this question. I'm curious to see the responses. | |
| brit guitar heroes Hey Desoto, I note that your three guitarists are all ex-Yardbirds lead guitarists. Were you one of the people in another thread that listsed them among the most influential groups of all time? | |
| Did the Herron VTPH Phono Stage have Sovtek tubes? The original one that Keith Herron showed us in the NJ Audio Society, and this goes back a number of years, used Sovteks. You might want to ask them the question directly, Keith was a pretty straightforward guy, I would think he could tell you if ... | |
| Anyone tried the new issue Genalex Gold Lion KT88s I don't know anything about their sound, but one of the virtues of the old Gold Lions, etc. was their longevity. There are people with old Macintosh amps still using those tubes from the 60s they installed back then. I would be surprised to see th... | |
| Any good cdp with digital inputs Wadia made digital inputs optional on some of their players (830, 850,860 and later models), and probably do so now. | |
| Day Sequerra Tuner FM reference scope question I have had the full upgrades done to my Day Sequerra within the past year or so. I would not trust anyone else to do the replacement. The new scope is excellent. By the way, the upgraded unit is excellent, the upgrades are, in my view, worth getti... | |
| rowland 102 reviews? ice powered I was going to point out the same thing. They did review a Rowland Class D amp, too, and the article was good in pointing out the advantages and disadvantages to the technology. Worth reading before you make a decision. | |
| Am I the only one purchasing hybrid disc's....... I haven't noticed particularly inferior sound on hybrid discs' CD layers the few times I've listened to them; however, I think that with more and more multi-channel releases, the quality of the mixdown to two channels may vary from release to rele... | |
| Sonus Faber Extremas You could always try the Jadis JA800s (the six-chassis version for the full power) or JA 500s if your floor financing line of credit is high enough! I have heard JA 500s drive mbl 101s, so they might have enough power to do the Extrmas. The proble... | |
| Sonus Faber Extremas The only amps I ever heard on SF Extremas that made me understand what the fuss about those speakers was about have been the big Cello Performance monoblocks (the "red eyes") and a Gryphon stereo amp from the early 90s. Given the size of your room... | |
| Some great sounding classical "warhorses" ?? For Espana--get the Mercury Living Presence re-issue (Paray, I believe), it's an excellent transferCandide--Reference Recordings, it has both the overture and a new, I believe, suite in spectacular soundCarmina Burana--the Telarc recordings from A... | |
| The Beatles vs. The Rolling Stones It's fun to read these responses. Along some of the lines mentioned, back in 1965, I believe it was, Dan Ingram, then the 2-6 pm DJ on WABC AM in NY (who also had a very nice jazz show on FM), said on the air that he didn't like the Rolling Stones... |
