Public radio WGBH (89.7) reportedly bid $14m for WCRB (99.5), Boston's fledging privately held 100% classical radio station. Reportedly the idea is to make 89.7 a pure news format, whereas it previously was a hybrid including classical music. WCRB wi...

The ECL82 = 6BM8 was used a lot in low-end amps, both push-pull and single-ended. Actually, according to your radio's schematic to which you posted a link, they are not being used "one per channel," rather it is a mono radio (nothing wrong with that...

I was listening today the Bolshoy 1948 production on LYS twice. What the beauty. As the tribute to this performance I am posting articles about the singers who did the “Boris Godunov” with Golovanov in 1948. The Articles are courtesy to writing staff...

I would disagree and would hardly be calling the WGBH Panel Discussion a “great success”. In fact I am calling the event as “great disappointment”. S...

Get an RF attenuator, I found it is a key with Sansuis.
Yes, the quality of the new WCRB was today all over the board: from very good to intolerable. I guess they are experimenting with the systems setup. Let see where they will lend. The pro...

Does it surprise anyone to know that of the ten listed on-air hosts on the weekly schedule of WCRB/WGBH fully seven of them are actually Minnesota Public Radio personnel?This means that Boston is for a lot of the time getting canned music aimed at th...

Hi Romy,I live in Melbourne Australia and happened to listen to this live broadcast last night, at a low level due to having two young kids.Although i don't listen to a lot of classical music, with a new tuner in my system i am finding myself&nb...

I certainly would not listen to much on the radio if I didn't have my Macintosh MR 67 tuner. I might listen to snippets just to see whether I might like a particular recording but extended listening through the computer etc would be very fatiguing. A...

The Placett output impedance is 8R and it does helps but it has little relativity. I assure you that the “quality” that I get from this Bose radio is way less critical then what I get after this cable. So, I do not think that the cable has any signif...

It seems every conductor has his/her own interpretation/feel of Bruckner.Here is one from last sunday, Bruckner 5.http://radio.omroep.nl/u/201446/?silverlight=The concert begins about 19 mins. into the program, don't be too much annoyed by the mp3-co...

Hi Romy, KR audio is making high power SET and parallel SET amps using tubes designed by them specifically for low frequency amplification (read as in not radio frequencies). They are getting the power with lower voltages and higher currents th...

I do not think that Lamm uses input capacitor, come on, this is not am amp from Radio Shack! Anyhow, I would not use input capacitor under any circumstances, would it be for filtration or for any other reasons. Yes, ML2 used global feedback....

That is very interesting post Romy. I noticed that I have changed a lot of CD-Players and Dacs over the years until I found the sound I wanted, but only had to change my Tuner once, and my analog playback has been the same for years and years n...

To be honest, I think that ANY stereo system gets in the way of the music - regardless of the amount of channels.Let us jump back to the monaural records/radio years. At that time, we had one choice and were very satisfied in being able to play back ...

All the best to everyone in 2017! I finally got my Mac MR 67 tuner back from the shop so that means no Bose Radio for me in 2017 I hope....

Join us on Saturday, September 4, 2010, to celebrate Bruckner's 186th birthday in Carlsbad, California. This year marks our 12th annual Bruckner Marathon and we'd like to share some good music with Bruckner lovers. As in previous years, we'll pl...

The first movement went terrifically well -- Rhythmically alert, quickly paced and beautifully shaped. It reminded me of the Weingartner recording, and of the Thomas/Pittsburgh I once heard on the radio while sitting in the car. Difference is, the la...

over here. By now there's no HD FM and digital radio uses other frequencies. My pity is that I only have ONE good classical station, but it still puzzles me how it can sound so good. Probably it has to do with compression. Once they broadcasted a con...

...is the head gap in the recording head. This head gap works as a low pass filter because the size of the gap determines the highest frequency that can be recorded. This "brick wall filter" is and was a HUGE benefit to playback simply by getting rid...

I try every few years to home in on "leads" to Strauss's "men's chorale" works. I've heard only 2 examples, both while driving, and both times the usual "random selection" with "random explication" from "dee-jays" who hold forth on the "classical rad...

Allo fellas,
Yes, it is strange. There are a number of decent venues for large scale classical, the Barbican, Royal Festival Hall, opera at the Coliseum etc, but as far as I can tell, on FM, it's Radio 3 and Classic FM, the latter playing cheesy sni...

Ha-ha nice photos!Yes i'm sur if we consider the Absolute Sound, my internet radio is somewhat digital hazy on the trail end of notes and un-natural boomy on bottom but it is very enjoyable and much more than listenable compared to screechy DG vinyl,...

The record companies demand that sound engineers make the recordings so that the band sounds as loud (noticeable) as possible when played on the radio. Music recorded in this way sells in greater numbers. If the sound engineers refuse the...
