do not judge by appearances..." O.W.I have followed this thread for some time and the only other thing comes to mind: "It is a sign of a higher intellect not to pursue an argument..."Now go figure :-)Axel...

I would like your opinion if you are familiar with this PC1 and may learn something by what you would have to say.As far as Algerich and Chopin are concerned, I can not get into her International Frederick Chopin Piano Competition: 1st prize (196...

and as far as VTA (SRA) goes I'm for the latter. I read Romy's short contribution and it is what I do, find a good average VTA for a cart --- do some more minor corrections and voila.If I had to change VTA for every record I'd give up vinyl, mayb...

speaking for myself of course I am not in agreement with that. I have hundreds of records and the one mentioned seemed the outstanding example. May that be as it is, and getting back to your cooking and apples, the one example mentioned is one VERY s...

if you like it at all, then it may be a change from this dour fellow Herr Bruckner... "Der Zigeunerbaron" Overture, with the Berlin Philharmoniker and H. Karajan (EMI Electrola C 065-02 642 from 1976).It all happens on side two first band. When you m...

is what comes to mind when I reflect on your ponderings.There is a difference in "real knowing" in e.g. how to ride a bicycle (arse in the saddle), and then you can read a book about it, and then some more, and then write some PhD on the subject, yet...

Paul,the Jubilee never had a sagging cantilever but one that had moved out of alignment to the left of the body when viewed from the front (the preferred misalignment...?!).The "sintered" outer(and inner)-body is baked out of non-magnetic metal p...

|
Paul,I can give you a first hand idea about the QC issues, since I personally experienced them.A brand new Windfeld was from the start what I'd call 'very low riding'. It didn't perform badly though i.e. better then my Jubilee it replaced --- this in...

is perhaps some relieve to the person having problems with those "Bs", other then Beethoven by being so much more accessible then e.g. Brahms (at least to some).Bruckner, yet another of those Bs not having always been appreciated, include myself here...

thanks, and so I will give this a few more chances to see if I will be able to connect.Though as I noted, even Tchaikovsky had his issues with man. (Not that I am anywhere near as perceptive as that good Russian was :-)Axel...

for me, in answer to your first question.His violin-concerto, I have with Rainer, and various piano concertos do not give this notion of going nowhere. It is the 1st movement of the 4th symphony with C. Kleiber (I can’t listen past it, I get so a...

Can anyone help me understand why I find this music so utterly 'directionless'?It is a digital recording from 1981 by DG (Stereo 2532 003)I experience this Brahms recording in particular, as 'going nowhere' , directionless, as if put together by some...

Nun, das ganze scheint eine interessante Idee.Well, that all seems an interesting Idea.Ich muss allerdings zustimmen, das es nicht ganz leicht werden wird.I have to agree that it will not turn out to be really that easy.Ich hatte Englisch sprechende ...

is what I personally know. I experience a sort of aversion to stuff that is 'ugly' and aesthetically out of whack. To 'excuse' ugly form by claiming it to be a result of function is just that: a silly excuse for an absents of 'goodness'.As to thi...
|
|
yes, very well put. I have enough 'intuition' to have understood, unless you wish this to be THE one and only... As to the 'linearity first', I was talking about the first generally accepted step in cross-over tuning and measuring. I know this if far...
|
|
I am of course guessing, as to how you got the sound the way you describe it. This "off-set" might be pleasantly less then what I had in mind. It initially reminded me of an effect by having no impedance correction (Zobel) in a midrange driver, and o...
|
|
is what I have called it, and what I hear you are describing? I wonder for how long you will be OK with it. We have had this effect by using 1st order crossover with absolute minimal insertion loss, so you would now listing to uncorrected drivers in ...
|
|
sounds like just what Romy could have excelled in for a carrier ---- because beyond the maths you need to have EARS and DISCERMENT for what is being recorded and exactly how it's done. (I met some sound engineers that did NOT strike me very musically...
|
|
as it sounds now, and what seems to be the issue. Why not contact DG and find out what THEY have to say, that'd be educational, no?!There was this saying about DG: "Good news, DG stopped making vinyl!" The bad news is, -- now they make CDs!!I'd put m...
|
|
is what I assume that your CD's source is all about. So it could be in deed a problem having used the 'original' master tape (analogue) which might have had a slight problem, stretched, or issues with the equipment speed (slight speed wobble) when th...

well fine, my X350.5 does 50 watt class A, and of course in push-pull. I use it with 120 watt max rated 3 way speakers of about 87 dB efficiency. You can see on the 350.5's centre instrument dial if you go out of class A. If I go out, I usually fear...
|
|
No, but frankly I do not miss it. Corrupted music has become less and less my thing --- it surely wasn't always that way. Gain something, loose something, the way of the world :-)Cheers,Axel...
|

OK, and that relates to your observation of 'not enjoying the music for the tuning' of the system, and not being able to listen to one piece of music at the time --- I think it is also called "Audio-Nervosa".As far as the venue is concerned, it i...

with using a rubbish system and the like some dilly music-maker pretend it's in my head and fine.I want to feel the venue where things are happening in, it means scale, depth, RIGHT tone, timing, AND as much as possible harmonic completeness. The...

pissing each other off by now.Back to the subject: How is it, that according to plenty of more recent commenting on 'hollow state' vs. 'solid state' the two are getting closer, and in some cases are hard to differentiate the sound?This would either m...
|
|
so have you now listened to Walter or not? If yes, and he is missing YOUR point -- ja now fine. Both Walter and Mahler were Jews if that is of ANY help to your sentiments. I'm also not into all this intellectualizing, just listen and then tell us if ...
|
|
that: "... this work, like the other symphonies of Mahler, has to be understood in no other sense than that of symphonic music and certainly not as a musical illustration of such emotions and imaginations as I have outlined. [as in the part of his ea...
