It was an interesting event today. I have a big air compressor home that got broken, so I borrowed a portable electric compressor from my neighbor. I plug it in outside the house and blew up the irrigation system, preparing it for winter. Then I bro...

A local audio friend of my lent me his new OPPO player, I do not know the numbers, whatever is the latest one. The idea was to put it in my Opera room, replacing my consumer-level Sony Blue Ray player, my consumer level preamp and anything else I hav...

I am sorry to say that I have sat through very few symphonic or opera performances in San Diego, even when the price of the seats made me feel bad about leaving, too.I did hear what seemed at the time to be a wonderfully-inspired ...

The Bessnow’s home turned tonight in absolute Nirvana, as far as I concerned. We kind of have a slow evening (Amy is on calls) and we desired to convert into true quality time. Kitty decided to let me to smoke my Cuba’s Cohabits in house. So, my 18...

[quote user="Markus"]Personally, if I wanted to get a 2nd system, I wouldn't want a less good version of the main system. If they both share an approach to audio, you'll always hear the 3- or 4-ness when you are used to the same thing in 10. I'd try ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] This week on Thursday and Friday I had two “audio visitors” in my listening room. We did some listening and as it have become customary: they asked me to show something “interesting” or different in my Opera Room. BTW,...

Yesterday Boston’s WGBH broadcasted the serial Great Performances at the Met. It was very good program with the celebrated “I Puritani” with Anna Netrebko (that I do not care a lot) and surprisingly interesting the “First Emperor” with Placido...

As I reported before I have problem with two PP in my home
to work at the same time. I have my main audio system all plugged in PP3000+
and I have my video/audio system in opera room running off PP3000. The use of
PP3000 in my Opera Room is very e...

You know, I frequently tend do not listen operettas on LP. Operas are serious, dramatic, requires attention and dedication. Operettas are much lighter genre, no less wonderful but light and less “loaded”. I love operettas and I frequently liste...

I am more familiar with the Opera world but I would guess that State subsidies are going down rather than up for Euro orchestras. So there may well be pressure to earn money from alternative sources. I am not saying that this is the best way to get t...

Yes My comment was not fair, obviously she didn't suit my mood at thentime and these suites can be very mood driven. Speaking of great afemale artists, I saw sylvie guilhem dance last night to beethoven piano sonate. The movement in dance canenlighte...

I have an opinion, admittedly "based" on only a few personal experiences, that basement rooms are very good for developing low bass response. It has something to do with the absolute rigidity of the majority of the room boundaries, again just in my ...

Ric, you are losing the point – this is a wonderful opportunity to blame the Mother-in law… From another side you still have live orchestra? Some opera houses in NY are practicing now to stage opera production with recorded orchestra sound.

I cant believe this is happening and of all places in New York!! Things sure are getting darker around here. Ive been enjoying the live at the new york philharmonic and metropolitan opera series. I hope they will continue those programs under the ...

Too hot to expect the best sound today, and besides I have gotten my morbid curiousity worked up about the recording/playback curves, so I fished out a few LPs mostly to hear/see how they sound with respect to the "shape" of their sound, aspects of w...

Hello Romy,I guess I'll go for the 103R at a later date - looking at the specs on this one the loading is the same with a lower output,but I'm thinking it might handle those 25min + LP sides better from the opera world etc.Being half Italiano I need ...

The aim was to try to reproduce opera in a room, which conventional speakers seem to do so implausibly, at least the few I have been exposed to. Why the SH50 gets closer than the others I do not know: perhaps it is coherence across the frequency rang...
