Some people I read about on Russian audio site made experiment running DA10 and Berkeley DAC in different systems and found Berkeley DAC more interesting. I am not sure what it means – I invest very little credibility to most of the people out there ...

You wrote (in a Beethoven thread): "If you for a first time came across to a 'better performances' then you might imagine how different might be experiences if you catch a 'better performances' live".I caught a London Philharmonic guest appearance in...

Paul, there are those Russian 450W pentodes GU80/81.http://www.tubes.ru/techinfo/AmateurRadio/gu-81m.htmlI'm also wondering how it behaves as a triode. 450W +/- compact and linear triode would be great! ...

You're welcome, Romy.I have still not found the original Russian "number" for those ones, but if ever I will, I'll forward you the info.For what purpose are you using them at 22mA ?...

thanks, and so I will give this a few more chances to see if I will be able to connect.Though as I noted, even Tchaikovsky had his issues with man. (Not that I am anywhere near as perceptive as that good Russian was :-)Axel...

This gentleman's set-up makes me think very much of the one I have in mind for my new room in due course. Whilst as Romy points out, the room might well be on the small side, it has a very high ceiling (say 4.5 m) that in my mind always presents fabu...

Romy:I hope you and Amy are snug amid the storm and have good electricity (well, any electricity in a big blizzard is good electricity, I guess.) What music do you find appropriate to the weather this weekend? There should be something suitable in ...

I figured there would be difficulties. Thanks for the link, 117 pages of Russian, wow. Transformers came to mind. i did not know if such transformer could be made. 30:1? with wide bandwith. amorphous? I think i have ribbon mic transfo with ratio l...

Nice video: Soft tones are easy, even for horns, the minuteness, the clear detail, the low distortion of horns playing softly is what kept me into them. Then Vengerov cries out: "Still this is more important", when music calls for character and pu...

Hi there, been reading this thread and I wonder if the Russian guy liked GOTO for what it stands for then why use it with anything but straight horns and why use it with tube amps?If he knew history and design philosophy behind GOTO his choices are v...

Lamm announced that he introduced a new phonostage: LP2.1. http://www.lammindustries.com/PRODUCTS/LP2.1%20introduction%20booklet.pdf This is kind of strange move. The LP2 was very bad phonostage; despite all industry medals and huge amount of glowin...

The arm and the table have been around for some while, I think. I saw it at a Russian show 4-5 years ago. Otherwise I can only agree with Romy that it's an unusual design....

I was attending on Monday concert with former Svetlanov’s Orchestra and the idiot Danis Matsuev playing the Third Conserto. I hoped it would be a good gift but it was not, though the attentive slow cadenza that become so much popular among the contem...

The Sixth Symphony is very idiosyncratic and I would feel that it has interest only for aficionado of the Sixth Symphony who might look for very different reading of the work. The 1812 in another hand is one of the greatest 1812 even committed to rec...

Last week I hit I my local music store a DVD of Eugene Onegin that was recorded live last year at Salzburg Festival. It was expensive, $35 but I bought it. Hell I thought that I know all committed to recording media Onegin production and I took this ...

Hi friends,I'm an abosolute ignorant about these two composers and coincidentally to their anniversaries, I've thought to ask for your wise advice. I like russian composers and also orchestral works better than chamber ones, so fire your guns. If you...

I am not very pleased that many people who only know me via Web chronically misused a word Moron. I very easy grant the “Moronity Status” to many people in audio but I do it not only because ...

Here is a document in Swedish language that describes its authors’ view on 6E5P. Since the author extensively use a park of Russian tubes I presume that he is Russian descent.

Nope, the Russian tubes generally much, in fact much worse than western equivalents. There were however some exceptions. Those options were due to various reasons. The tubes like GM70, YO186, 1P24B, 6E5P, 6N30P, BO188, GM57, UB180, 6C33C, 6N6P, M...

[quote user="skushino"]bty, I enjoyed watching video of Nutcracker at your house. [/quote] Actually Scott it was not the Nutcracker, I do not think that I even have Nutcracker-video ballet at my home. The peace that I showed you as quite intere...

I listened to a fragment of a Queen of Spades aria while driving home this evening and it never ceases to amaze me how Tchaikovsky's music can touch me so deeply as I was able to identify the music's author after just a few chords considering that I ...

Adrian, one might go further with your music/liqueur/country notion; after all, what could be more archetypally Russian than to swallow a bottle of Stoli or two, followed by the vague contemplation of suicide to Tchaikovsky's No.6 "Pathetique"? For t...

Glazunovs’ symphonies are not well know but his 5, 6, 7, 8 symphonies are quite good with some movements from the 6th and 8th are almost great. Glazunov’s composed 9th symphony, well, only first movement and then he died. The 9th symphony practically...

a very good take on ones 'motivation' of musical likes and dislikes. In fairness I have listened to some rendition of Brahms’s 2nd piano concerto and it has something more for me, yet it might just simply be more 'accessible'? Maybe it has some sort ...

Thanks Romy,Yes, I will explore Khachaturian more...I like him even though he keeps company with the lesser respected of composers. It is kind of a shame that the secondary composers often get pushed aside by the major, important work...

I stopped by today during my lunch at my local “loony Tunes” and suddenly stumbled upon a LYS reissue (via the Dante Production) of Golovanov’s 1948 Boris Godunov. (LYS 349-351)
I have mentioned this performance above. It is a studio recoding where ...

Yes, please - I would very much like copies of Nanut conducting Mahler 7 8 9 & 10 - that would be wonderful! (I will put together some more, interesting CDRs for you too!).I am not sure I would go so far as to throw Nanut's Tchaikovsk...
