For Beethoven, piano concerto's try Martha Argerich with Claudio Abaddo.
Consider Prokofiev's symphonies conducted by Gergiev with the LSO, if you like Russian music ... of course pretty much all of V. Gergiev's material is top notch.
Also worth yo...

I was watching the program and it was as disgusting as I could theoretically imagine. The New York Philharmonic was quite fine; in fact the Dvorak’s “New Word” they played was remarkably good. There were some slippages in the play, in the end of the ...

Yes , I told Romy about this funny idea , which is quite simple of course - to make a simple SRPP stage on special hi-voltage tubes , powered with high voltage supply ( 10000 V , for example ) and drive the electrostat panel directly from the output ...

After a month of listening exclusively Melquiades and decided yestoday re-switch everything and to play Lamm’s ML2.
I was quite shocked with the result and I did not anticipate the ML2 could be so way off. I will not elaborate about the a...

[quote user="el`Ol"]Weren't these speakers (at least in Germany) normally used built-in (infinite baffle situation)? And I don't like the word "open baffle" because it can mean anything. It reaches from quasi-IB like proposed by PHY-HP up to that mor...

thee srp in Zarathustra is cathode bias, melq is grid bias. If gas biased the srpp it would no longer be the circuit in zarathustra. what would this do to sound i have no idea. The function of the gas tubes in melq are not only for providing bias. ...

[quote user="hagtech"]Hey, I never thought of this. You can run 1/2 the tube at a time! This actually puts it within the limits of the VacuTrace. I can test each side separately.[/quote]

Hi,
I have a phono stage from the Korean company Silvaweld that uses the 5651 tube in the power supply as a voltage reference. It also is using a Russian 6C19Pi tube along with EF86 pentode as the high voltage regulator. The rectifier is...

Anthony,
Under no circumstance buy this CD. This CD is coming from the “Great Conductors of the Century” collection and this entire collection has a horrible mastering and very bad sound. There was an Eastern Europe company (I think Russian $ ...

[quote user="Antonio J."]Do you know of other renditions of this work worth the purchase?[/quote] This concerto is “lucky”, it well-performed and there are many good recordings. Some of my “honorable mentions” would be: Michelangeli with anybody else...

I was gifted a mono LP version of this performance, which I have listened to closely but once, with fair electricity. This time I was more impressed with the orchestra/orchestration than the piano playing, which I found to be a bit much, overall, an...

I usually do not cruse across DIY forums unless someone folks about me. Here it was - at some Russian DIY site they translated my article “6C33C survival guide” that made me to see what they have in there. One article from their site attracted my...

Come on people, you took it in all wrong way. All that I need at my site is the debate what a penetrator is! The point that I made was that this “public” sex with that boy was the most exciting thing Pletnev did during the last good 15-20 years. Even...

Anyone know of a satisfying recorded version of this concerto? I offer as one to avoid at all costs Van Cliburn with a "Symphony Orchestra" under the direction of Kiril Kondrashin, RCA LM-2252. Which "Symphony Orchestra"? RCA does not care to say,...

It is a famous work and there are many recordings. I am not very intimate with Dvorak’s Piano Quintets I think I hear it a few times but did not dig deeper. Still, since it is popular chamber music then get your favorite string quartet and they most ...

yeah, Argerich and Abbado have a certain chemistry together ... I think they go way back, if I'm not mistaken they went to school together ... and I think Abbado did study the piano there as well.
Gergiev??? I enjoy his interpretations. To me ...

While I have found the Amperex globes act more consistently than the Bugle Boys I wouldn't call the Bugles uniformly bad. I wonder if they just don't match up with current amps as uniformly as the later Globes? I have a stockpile of GE longplates fro...

Audio Note has released a turntable called the Ginga which costs 60 thousand US dollars in Japan. (if you google Audio Note Ginga images you will find it very easily).My first reaction was pure cynicism, as Audio Note does traditionally price its pro...

I would like to expense a bit on my post above. If we presume that a warmed up, hot magnet (electromagnet) radiate a magnetic field of different type and those “hot filed” have some kind of positive effect to sound then there is a possibility of mode...

Haralanov, You might not be familiar with it but it is very typical for many Russians audio practitioners. You will find many Russians who absolutely obsessed with one single, in most cases absolutely artificial, aspect of their playback. However, th...

Paul, I can’t say anything about it and I invest zero trust to what the seller say. The fact that he insists that “customers have never returned any or complained of their quality” does makes me horny however. The socket at your picture does have nam...
