| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed Almarg, I agree with your premise, and perhaps I did not make my point sufficiently clear. I care very much, and as much as anyone, about learning the reasons why and eliminating, as much as possible, erroneous conclusions for the reasons why. My ... | |

| What are your TWO favorite Symphonic Recordings? Good calls on Kam and Helseth. Both are fantastic young players with beautiful tone and wonderful musicality. There is a wonderful video on Youtube of Kam playing the Mozart clarinet concerto on a basset clarinet with the extended range that Mozar... | |
| Jazz for aficionados This is great news. Thanks for the heads up, Albert. Went to your link and right there on the first page of their catalog is one of my favorite records. Gary Burton's "Seven Songs For Qt. and Chamber Orchestra". This is going to cost me some money. | |

| What are your TWO favorite Symphonic Recordings? Botstein is a remarkable individual; amazing intellect. | |
| What are your TWO favorite Symphonic Recordings? I don't know if you Schubert lovers know about the Bard Music Festival which takes place every summer at Annandale-On-Hudson in beautiful upstate NY.

| Jazz for aficionados I find it difficult to watch her sing. I prefer to just listen. Way too much "mugging". | |
| Fast forward 25 years, what will audio be like? Damn! I remember those days. It would kill me now :-) | |
