This may not be the right place. I am always emotionally involved with the music I listen to. Sometimes there is a quality to it that makes tears stream down my face - not matter what gendre of music or whether it is sad or happy.This subject was d...

That prom is to be broadcast again on BBC Radio 3 on tuesday 3rd September at 2pm. I'll try to record it but it will only be 16/44 to my CD recorder.Although you can listen to all of it (in 2 episodes) on the BBC iPlayer now for a further week or so....

Adrian,
when you comment that “live broadcast is simply dramatically more alive, more dynamic, more involving. One cannot help but be drawn into the music emotionally and begin to think immediately about the compositional structure” then did you mad...

WBCN was the flagship station of the Boston Concert Network: WHCN (Hartford), WNCN (New York), WXCN (Providence) and WRCN (Riverhead, NY).WXHR was affiliated with WQXR ("The Radio Station of the New York Times") and they would occasionally swap progr...

Hi Romy, I am a little behind the times as regards internet radio, etc.. Can I run some sort of cable to listen to these stations on my audio installation, or is it just for listening on the computer sound ?Thanks,R Weissman...

This was the first time I listened to a live radio broadcast and it was quite an experience! Today on WQXR, New York, Wagner's Das Rheingold was conducted by James Levine. Im officially hooked. Every Saturday at 1pm I will be glued to my ...

I told somewhere that sometime I dived into Brahms mode and listed only Brahms. So, it was this week. For the whole week the weather in Boston was wonderful and I spent all week to working outside, building an extension to deck. All time Amy’s Bose r...

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...

...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...

Yeah, you're right Yoshi. Sometimes we have to detach ourselves from this ridicule audio hobby to be able to rediscover the true essence of music. Why do many audiophiles seek the ultimate in transparency, soundstage, bass reponse while the music is ...
|
|
Well, this is a very interesting matter. It looks like after all we cannot speak about how reproduced music should sound without going back into the "audiophile jargon". I suppose it's a so personal matter that it cannot be explained, and also depend...

I think I get your message Romy, but offer an alternative perspective to DIY.The results depend on the motivation and expectations of the DIYer. For example, saving $$$ is one reason to start learning to solder and build simple circuits. ...

The truth of the matter is that I believe that true quality has nothing do with audio systems, high resolution or otherwise.How many good musicians are audiophiles? and does it matter?They can listen via an Internet Radio and enjoy as the music is in...

Something else too obvious to mention (yet mentioned here...) is that the tweeter works better if it is also +/- "balanced" against the LF. Broadly speaking, it is partly this "balance" (combined with the brain's ability to fill in "missing" informa...

Read again what I wrote. Key element "Getting a bit closer ...". Most people writing about "live" on forums have no idea what a real instrument sounds like and it becomes clear that their reference for sound quality is their mother's kitchen radio. I...

This is where I lose you, or rather, lose myself. I can see my inner self reacting to a given performance be it live or a reproduction, but as you say, it can happen with a table radio or a car stereo too. I can't seem to find a bridge be...

Below is the text from Slovens Website that presumably knows Anton Nanut. According to them Mr. Nanut did record the Beethoven Nineth. Interesting is that Nanut also record Dvorak’s last symphonies, Jerry, are they interesting in Slovenian rendering?...

Thank you, Dominic for this new (to me) link, music source and even radio ! Out of the deep canadian forest we received in the last 50 years some very nice music performances for our blue planet ! :) One of my favourite conductors and great Bruckner ...

While out driving this morning doing some morning chores I was listening to the same performance on my car radio. This was excellent playing and I thought to myself that the fm reception was very good allowing the playing to come through clearly. T...

With the stock radio-CD and buzzing fulrange speakers in my Civic I often find myself puzzled how pleasant and musical this crap sounds. If only I could get close to it at home -fruitless pursuit so far .Romy when it comes to tube tuners is it a high...

Jessie, that is hilarious! For many years I felt so cagey to know to look out for the "white label" and/or "demo" LPs that various record "Labels" sent out to radio stations/DJs, hoping for air time. In most cases they were "ringers", better in eve...

In context the new 99.5FM lower power and further distance and since I am deep in fringe I was wondering if I can do something with antenna. I run Winegard HD6055 that is optimized for 98Meg. Looking for narrower directivity I come across to two ...

Yeah, it was really surprising. The music from your FM was very, very natural and organic (I'm not saying other mediums sounded bad, it was great, but there was more ease and naturalness with FM). Is FM noise working as some kind of dithe...

Bill, if anyone did more for these people than Romy, it has to be you, which makes this not only unconscionable but simply bad business, on the face of it. Perhaps seeing these posts will shake a unit loose for you, and you might then send it to Unit...

Playing the Günter Wands’ recordings of the last Bruckner Symphony with NDR (North German Radio Orchestra) from 1978-88 during Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival. Another “amateur” conductor with phenomenal sound! I need a bigger place as I would like...

Hi Romy,Yes great minds think alike! I made a note of a viola version of the suites I heard on the radio just a few weeks ago! It was a modern recording by patricia something and the first time I heard them played on viola and loved it, though i was...
