Romy,Well, in the course of a weekend I typically listen to a lot of music, but there are a few favorite CDs that I like to use when trying to evaluate things:Piano Music of Chopin, Brahms & Prokofiev, Lincoln Mayorga, Sheffield Lab SL505The Lein...

I do feel that during the last 3-4 years there was a major shift in my perception of audio. If before the people who do not share my interests in audio just entertained me with own stupidity then a few years back I begin to feel that they starte...

It is not about low voltage buttery power, tube version with 200 pounds power supply, CRL filtration, no-transformer gain or air capacitors. The topology that we might or might not admit to comply with the concept of “acceptable phonostage” is co...

I am in minor scale mode toady and play mostly chamber music and only records. FM broadcasts with all their majesty are hardly objective tool to assess what doing on with audio. So, I play records and tapes. Besides everything I am trying to figu...

I do not post a lot in musical section of my sire as I interact about my mural at different places. Still here is some update about what is going on in Boston. As we all know James Levine is out and BSO is ownerless. Since the opening the Tanglew...

As a few weeks back NYT published an article about 10 greatest composers that made any forum on web to come up with own list. I do not want to propose my own version of the List; I am interested in a different aspect. I post sometimes at Google C...

We would not use Mahler’s orchestra to play Haydn’s symptoms and we would not use Palestrina’s orchestra to play Brahms. It is not even the deferent time period but rather a different set of expressive tools the symphonic and chamber orchestras u...

It was yesterday around 4 PM – I viciously took it off and decided never use it again. I was listening Brahms German Requiem with James Levine and BSO – a phenomenal performances in my view and one moment after being offended by each note the F...

I truly love that. Sometimes in the randomness of internet audio idiocy there are events where I become sort of epicenter of bashing. I say “sort of” as they do not discuss my personally or what I stay for but instead the intent Morons mostly sh...

Japanese are very strange people and fortunately sometimes this strangeness manifest itself in very cool way. For years I fish in Japan for some interesting recordings. Sometimes the Japanese folks release something that is not available anywhere els...

People who know me know that if I person does audio then it does not automatically imply that he is my best friend. I generally do not bring “just audio people” in my home and if I do then they are selected people who I feel might have a potentia...

Just listened to Gould’s unusual Brahms Intermezzi (See Music Board) via
the Loudspeakers for the first time. The speakers were powered by the MA-9S2s. Of
course I’ve noticed before how Gould deconstructs these pieces. Today I took
advantage o...

Today it was a phenomenal broadcast from Tanglewood! Kurt Masur led the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra with all Brahms program: Piano Concerto No. 2 with Garrick Ohlsson and the Symphony No. 2. To insult the injury the WGBH precluded the live ...

Via Mengelberg’s performance of Ein deutsches Requiem, Philips CD
Perhaps it’s possible for someone to “get” Brahms’ Ein deutsches
Requiem by way of a table radio. Speaking for myself, I only got hints that way,
and it wasn’t until I took speci...

Last week I spent a few hours at the scene of NY’s Stereophile Show – HE 2004: a half-day on Thursday and 2 hours on Friday. As many other audio-shows it had many semi-ugly colorations, however as any audio shows this zoo trip brought it’s own “inter...

Well, I found Janacek strange and unfathomable. I was brought up on
Haydn-Beethoven-Schubert-Brahms-(Mahler)-Schoenberg route... so I had no

was no help either.. (its only now...

They offer 24/88 downloadable and thanks God they do not record the Audiophile Blues or the similar crap. This is a good part. The bad part is that they record at 4X and then outsource the file to vireos industry cretins to “master” them, pushing...
