classical quartet watching/listening
I'm sure this has been brought up many times but my searches aren't finding much. I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a YouTube video of a classical quartet recital that has also been released on cd and is available on Qobuz. I'm mostly interested in the pleasure of watching and listening, but I also thought it might be instructive to see if I can match the soundstage/imaging of the recording with the positions of the players on stage. I realize that it may be hard to find two recordings of a concert (video + music) at all, let alone two that are perfectly synced.
I've done something like this by simply plugging my laptop into my preamp. That's fun for watching concert footage or a live webcast of a concert, but I'm after something a bit more precise in the recording.
Thanks!
Streaming, in my office, I starting with Imaging as the PRIMARY goal, it works excellently ONLY when centered in my desk chair, only with 2 channel stereo content, the balance on the amp has been adjusted to compensate for the wall on the left side/no wall right side changed to AR-2ax which have L-Pads for tweeters and mids |
I am in love with all the works of Robert Simpson... One of the great composer in the world not only in England.. I discovered him reading his book about Bruckner one of my god...

Thanks, all. Interesting stuff. Nice office, @elliottbnewcombjr! I'd never get any work done there... I'm sure that most audio recordings don't match existing video in terms of imaging. I was wondering if any audio and video recordings *are* synced; it would be pretty cool, to me at least, if the cello in my room's soundstage matched the placement of the cello on the real stage, etc. @mahgister, great suggestion on Simpson! @mahler123--many thanks. I'm on it. I know a number of the Beethoven recordings but not that one. |
Some SACD or CD Players, even some car players, will play the audio tracks of a Video Disc’s program, ...... some just auto start, some need you to ’see’ the menu to tell it what to do. Load, wait, hit play, hit next track, .... hear what happens. You might automatically get a 2 channel audio track doing this, or not, it’s tricky, a laptop with dvd player and usb out will let you see/control the menu choices and send the audio out to a dac via usb, that is what I am doing in my office with my desktop and/or laptops, via a simple $110. Topping D10s DAC I learned about here. a very easy change improved the sound of anything I play or stream in my office. You can buy usb extension cables, I got a 10’ long extension for $10. I seem to remember that usb 3.0 can be 10x speed of usb 2.0, I also use a short 3’ one for my usb 3.0 card reader and usb 3.0 2TB external backup drive (to get the desktop's rear 3.0 port available up front plug/play). |
