Mozart's Magic Flute. What else should be said? Many “simple people” consider it as one of the greatest opera… Well, I always find it… almost annoying.
A few days I watched a strange production of Magic Flute that I liked a lot and even more that on...

OK,
the Onegin’55 broadcast went through and was recorded. I asked Clark to figure out what they would be using as sources. He was not able to but he made me “happy” informing me that “the broadcast -- due to a temporary glitch -- will be compresse...

Well, it happened with me, one of my HH of my DAW, or as they call it “music server”, went down. It does not recognize by BIOS anymore, suck, it would be costly to recover data from there. Partially the most important f...

Here is a good Rohde & Schwarz EU-6201 illustration. This is a station not truly DX but a station that is in very difficult reception environment. I never was able to get it clear from my location. Even the DX champion Yamaha T-85 in its ultra na...

In the western world we have preconceptions about availability of „luxury“ items elsewhere. We don‘t know much about Iran and due to embargos and sanctions I had never given it much thought.It certainly shows my ignorance but I am surprised at the a...

With my FM recordings and with my few other sources to get digital uncompressed files I come to the situation that I need to rearrange the data stoppage for my Digital Audio Workstation (hate the word DAW but it is what they use). I have currently ar...

I added another 1T drive to my DAW (the 88/24 fills space fast) and I came to an interesting problem.
I have a few drives to store the recordings on my DAW: orchestral drive, chamber drive, instrumental drive, opera drive, recording drive. I store ...

It was kind of strange news:

“This year we are very proud and honoured to introduce our new High End cartridge MC Anna, dedicated to the virtuoso op...

What actually extremely pissed me off was the David Eliot’s attitude that we the listeners are not the owners of our own listening experiences but some kind of hostages of FM station’s wishes. Years back I was under impression that he is just a...

So, after the terrible FM transmission the week before, I sent them an email and received the following response:
"Thank you for contacting us.
We regret to hear that your enjoym...

Thanks, thezak
As I understand you are saying that the company you linked doe the broadcasting for WHRB? It is good to have the link but I do not see myself to bypassing WHRB and to contact them directly.
The problem with MET was resolved i...

Last couple month when I rebooted my DAW it has difficult time to start up; it looks like motherboard is going and bias sometime during boot does not see hardware. Usually with 30 min and 10-60 automatic recursive attempts the machine boots and t...

Romy says "Oppo is very
good video player. Still, it looks like it’s advantage in video are
not projected to 16Bit CD reading. Perhaps Serge was correct and reading
CD and reading the DVDs/BlueRays

Mani, Pacific is freaky and it detects HDCD code only at the resolution that it was encoded. If it was coded at 16 bit then it will not read the HDCD at 20 Bit. There is an option in there that set the HDCD detection death… I did not play a lot ...

[quote user="Bud"]My first choice would be a Sony SACD recorder with storage in SACD format. Quite expensive, but I would not use an expensive Sony playback device. Their early models (still available new on ebay) were designed to show how much bette...

Nope is it now what extraterrestrials would love but rather we would be able to offer to them to demonstrate what our Earth Classical Music (let say Western music) is all about.

Got home tonight in the mood craving for somebody abuse me. Flipped the amplifier switch (not even Milq!) and put the Stravinsky in use. It did not work. An abuse shall have some class. Stravinsky does not do it to me – he was too much lost in hi...

Romy says: It took for me a bit

We are talking about subjective reactions so there is no way to dispute either of our responses. However, I do see a disconnect between your statements that I quoted and your subsequent post. In the first post you were talking about the Queen of Spad...

I always hesitant to make recommendations regarding purchasing decision in audio. The last time I made a recommendation to a local audio guy was to get Altec 19 loudspeaker instead of the crap that he had. The problem that you can make recommendatio...

[quote user="Antonio J."]I agree with your thoughts. Current High End is to audio like Haute Couture is to fashion. You actually pay for something that a designer decided you may need (in fact he gives a damn if you need it or not always you buy it),...

Thanks, for posting the link. I never heard about this company.
