In my travels I have come to the conclusion that Boston has the best (terrestial) radio in the world, both AM and FM. The only place that can compete, for classical music, is my home town of Sioux City -- where one can receive independent broadcasts ...

The Ham Radio and DX people are clan-ish and there is a deep pool of shared knowledge among the older guys. It is likely that there is a knowledgable antenna guy living within striking range, or you might get specs from such a guy and have a normal ...

Romy, I would be delighted to hear some of these recordings from your
FM receiver. Unfortunately, here in the San Francisco Bay Area, we have
no good classical radio station. There is one classical station, highly
commercial and apparently with th...

Romy, besides via the radio, did you ever have the opportunity to hear either the 948 or 950 in a domestic installation?...

hi all,an option for an antenna attenuator is the magnum-dynalab signal sleuth. this is something tha allows attenuation and amplification of fm signals +/-30db. it's also tunable. in most situations, its value is negligible, but in some situation...

It is good that you like that Lithuania new tonearm. A local guy of my who has it also like but I do not like him…. Unfortunately I am not on the tonearm market or I would try it against my beloved absolute reference – the 3012....I know it is very...

During the holiday season we had wonderful programming from Scandinavia thanks to Internet radio. The Scandinavians have a wonderful tradition with choral music and especially the tunes around christmastime are very enjoyable with some very excellent...

Thanks for these amazing stories. My own "profound" experiences with audio playback (where I was moved by the sound) have always been related to acoustics/room. Sometimes it all comes together, and equipment that have no right to sound much better th...

[quote user="Paul S"]Plenty of people I know hoarded the old, cheap-o Radio Shack connectors, figuring their light weight more than offset the crappy metal they're made of.[/quote]Yes, I'm one of them! I love those Radio Shack connectors. It's easy t...

I came across this classical streaming station while searching out the net for new music enlightenment. I believe it is in an experimental stage and the only one of it's kind. It makes available 16 bit 48khz signal streamed. It does need a high bandw...

I used a set of 2-way near-field monitors and a decent sealed commercial subwoofer in a study room that was quite enjoyable. Mostly listened to FM. That room was not much more than 3m x 3m with lots of alcoves, slanted ceilings and a thick nylon rug....

I dunno if any of this applies to you guys and radio, but by way of analogy, when I had a tv, I might watch (and enjoy) films that I certainly wouldn't bother with if I had to shove a tape of the same into the VCR that evening.Likewise, I've fou...

Sergei Prokofiev is one of my favorite composers. I like all of his music. His Classical Symphony No.1 was composed to emulate Joseph Haydn's composing style, although there is nothing in the music that would lead me to connect it with Haydn. Toni...

For years and years there have been people collecting (and sometimes disseminating) such performances on tape. I have lists from decades ago!Internet radio is another source, with orchestras themselves now sometimes providing the material. I have a w...

I admit tat I ma kind of a freak of nature in my pursuit to the abstract absolute tone of orchestra. Attending life performances I practically never hear “tone” that satisfies me. In the Mecca of my tonal satisfaction there was 3 years ago a vi...

You are right I think. He confuses his followers with this GIP review, his fans who sold their Tannoys and bought his recommendd Krell Lats and Magicos, but they will fall in love with him all over again when he tells them the latest Magicos got ...

Yup, Kegel is an excellent and under-appreciated conductor. I have his complete Beethoven symphony set which are all very fine "middle of the road" performances. I also have him in Bruckner 5th and 8th (both with the Leipzig Radio Or...

It's interesting that the enthusiasm in going to a more convenient but lower fidelity system is apparently higher than the reverse. Shows why audiophiles are a niche sect. The OP would have been more convincing if the enthusiasm was paired with a log...
