I'm way out of my depth here, I think I know what you mean Romy; my own feeling about Mahler is that just when he's developing what could be the most haunting melody or lyrical phrase he gets bored with it and goes off on a tangent. Not always, of co...

Some time ago Romy threw me a fish in the form of two numbers, 280 and 185, meaning mV and V, respectivly, and I finally got around to chowing down. I was getting annoyed with the sound this morning to the extent that I busted ou...

Well, the logistics of this symphony are mind boggling, beyond the issues presented by the score, and I have wondered which it is that tends to undermine the work, as I have heard it. It's not like M8 is "merely" a lot of musicians playing ensemble,...

Gregm, you see, the Murata tweeters have no sensitively and vary narrow diagram and that makes those type of the drivers unusable, even if to accept then hypothetically. With the resonant frequency over 100Khz that those type of the tweeters beg to b...

I see thanks. I do not know how who Simon & Garfunkel are but a search indicates that it is by Daniel Alomía Robles written in 1913 and based on traditional Andean folk tunes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_C%C3%B3ndor_Pasa_(song)Very cool melod...

Stopped by at local audio friend this Sunday and watch some Brunner, Mahler and Wagner at his HT playback. He has integrated playback installation and video is played at his main system. I am not a fan of good quality of video playback and feel that...

I do not think they encode it with HDCD, I do not think that it is even possible. Most likely there is something in those files in the files that mislead your DAC and force it to throw the HDCD indicator. Might be I am wrong but I do not think that ...

My local “Borders” in Downtown Crossing always has some interesting music. I have no idea why but they have it all but if I stop by in their small classical section I always fish something “kinky”. Today I pulled of from there a few CDs and among th...

Last night it was a surreal experience, sort of QSound–type experience. I still do not know here will be the exact location of my listening chair, it is debating with 2 feet, and because of this I did not bother to lock the Macondo’s channels in tim...

I used to know guy who fly around the world, tested food from new restaurants and built for them vine lists. I wonder if you visited my room tonight and see how I cut the teeth at the buffalo of my speakers with demolition reciprocated saw I wonder w...

I am somewhat familiar with the dact: I used it in non controlled manner but familiar environment; it was assembled by someone else who also provided the necessary power supply; it was in two chassis about 15x15x~30 cm each (one for ps), so the equal...

Romy,The only card that seems serious is the Creative Live Drive series. They have the capability of encoding at HDCD sample rates and also have a front panal input / output fascia with many conntrols and buttons to explore and screw up with. I have ...

As it was promised BSO released today two new formats: AIFF (stereo) in 88.2kHz/24bit and WMA (stereo) in 88.2kHz/24bit. THAT what I was waiting. The Daphnis et Chloé, the German Requiem, the Mahler 6 are absolutely wonderful. I just bought all 4 rec...

I do not read printed audio publications. The last one I held in hands it was a year ago or more. Today I stop by in my local Burlington Barnes and Noble and since I was there already I took 3 Stereophile and 2 issues of TAS from newsstand, bough...

[quote user="JANDL100"] 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!). [/quote]Sure, I will be glad to do it...

It is difficult to generalize but I will. As much as ribbons with each hertz down sound more and more unpleasant the low power SET amps with each hertz down in bass region more and more and more loosing ground. Ok, I am not taking about the real bass...

I have admitted that I have some freakish affection to lover mirage “moments” in sound and the cellos concertos are my “specially” beloved concertos:

[quote user="JJ Triode"] You mentioned bagpipes--do you think any bagpipe or other Celtic music can be of serious interest? I don't necessarily mean audio interest, but music/cultural interest. [/quote] JJ, I have no idea. Amy loves bagpipes and she...

[quote user="JANDL100"] I don't know if it will have the "right tone" though - you know, I didn't think this was possible, but I think you are getting even fussier about recordings and orchestral sound as time goes by!! [/quote]
Of course I’m gettin...

I need to address sometime this problem as many of my recordings are in random channels order. I have one of my local stations that have very good programming being very negligent to the correctness of the right and left channels and very negligent t...

I had today a long listening session. I listened a whole Mahler Second and I can tell you that I was the best upperbass I ever heard from a playback. I am not kidding. The upperbass literally despaired in the new room but what it is being called up...

This is funny. I closed my house on March 16 and today is March first. It is lost a year passed and only now I begin to feel that my playback is back. The status “back” it means that al major problems are filtered out and I just turn playback on and ...

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 ...

Since I am living with the assumption that the technology you have used is far from dated I have cannot wait to hear what you have in mind for your audio future.Since my selfish nature longs to hear what you have acheived, assuming you would allow me...
