My go-to classic symphonic Stravinsky triad, Rite of Spring, Petrushka and the topper, Firebird Suite, are my lynchpins putting a rig through the paces. The quintessential recording, quality wise, top to bottom, is (Rite and Firebird) the Ivan Fis...

Having fun. I'm going to bag the commentary. I (just) realize that I may be (sounds like it from the posts/threads)the only Zuguy to take the express to the Def4 from the 1.5. Everything I have to say will be uneventful, superfluous and (indeed) h...

Def IV five day impressions:Bass-I have the gain and crossover almost perfect for my taste/enjoyment. playing with acoustic 4 string bass get it right. Even if the gain is turned up too high, the bass is still articulate, detailed, fast, tight and...

Horowitz was a monster...listen to him play the Rachmaninoff (spelling?) 3rd piano concerto. The last movement is as powerful as it gets. One of the most demanding piano concertos ever written. Piano wise, let's not forget Duke Ellington, Fats Wal...

Hi GB, I will check out Jarret's Koln Concert on cd on your recommendation. "Brilliant" is not an adjective I use readily, but I get your drift. The sing along shit kills me, but, indeed, that has not stopped me from going crazy purchasing Oscar P...

Germanboxer, please turn me on to a beautifully recorded Keith Jarrett cd. I have not found an excellent (audio quality) recording of his work. I'm not as big a fan as I think I should be given his magic. Maybe it is the fair quality of his record...

Shitty, windy, rain soaked cold April Friday. 'twas a good day to take off. Some java, the NY Times, a bunch of car mags AND my Defs. Easy listening (save Metallica, The Black Keys, The Foo Fighters and a big etc for the weekend) tweaking with xov...

spirit, I was asking you what are these "nodes/standing waves" you are talking about? I don't know what a "bass hump" is. That was and is my question. thanks

"those...nodes/standing waves" what is that all about? My bass, in this crib, is doing it for me. How would I know if I have a "node/standing wave" problem?

1.5s vs IVs? You got to be kidding! The 4s are entirely different top to bottom, inside, outside and (most importantly) earside. I don't know how many of you went directly from 1.5s to 4s, but I'm going out [now]to run five miles to rest my heart ...

The Eagle has landed! Yesterday I came home from work to find two mother boxes atop a pallet in my driveway. Do this be myself? I'm strong for 125lbs, but not in the game to handle these mothers. My buddy is coming over today. Just moving the two ...
