| Choral Music Suggestions Hi Learsfool, Les Arts Florissants, William Christie"Madrigals In Five Parts"Includes several madrigals from his last three books of madrigals which is, as you know, when things got really interesting. Amazing to think this music was written four ... | |
| Choral Music Suggestions Also check out the Harmonia Mundi recordings of the music of Carlo Gesualdo; one of the most interesting personalities in all of musical history. His madrigals, composed in the late Rennaisance period are stunningly beautiful, and are literally ce... | |
| Choral Music Suggestions For something really different try the Kodaly Girls Choir of Budapest recordings. A favorite is "Hungarian Songs" on Angel Records, the music of Zoltan Kodaly and Bela Bartok. Unusual music that is beautiful and at times very haunting. | |
| Build a new system around pair of Snell Alll's? Tccaux, the B&K gear is not bad. And sure, upgrade your amp and keep your preamp and you would probably have an improvement. But, IMO you are really limiting what that speaker can do using the receiver's preamp section. And how can you be sure... | |
| Build a new system around pair of Snell Alll's? Ohnwy61 makes some good points, and I like the idea of Rowland amps. | |
| Audible Illusions vs CJ preamps: sonic difference? The M3 is a fine preamp. I know it's sound well and I have used two different AI preamps over the years. My comments are not meant to suggest that the preamp is anything but very good; it obviously is, given it's success. But, to answer the OP's q... | |
| Build a new system around pair of Snell Alll's? When a speaker does as many things well as the Type A's do, a relative shortcoming becomes that much more pronounced. As already mentioned, soundstage depth is probably their biggest shortcoming. But, that does not mean that there is NO depth; the... | |
| Build a new system around pair of Snell Alll's? Tccaux, 300w of quality tube amplification would be expensive. But, who says you would need 300w's? Read these comments by Peter Qvortrup, CEO of AudioNote UK, who now manufacture variants of the classic Snell's:http://db.AudioAsylum.com/mhtml/m.h... | |
| Build a new system around pair of Snell Alll's? To this day, one of the most memorable systems I have ever heard was in a showroom at the downtown NYC, Sound By Singer. Snell AIII's, VTL 300 mono's, Audio Research SP14, Roksan table, Koetsu Rosewood Sig., MIT cabling. It's been about 25 years a... | |
| Moving VPI TNT, Wheaton Triplanar, Transfiguration If you want to make the re-setup as easy as possible and still do as much as is practical to avoid damage, this is what I would do in your situation (in short, remove and pack separately anything that can move):- remove arm board with tonearm/cart... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dear Nandric, I am still waiting for my commission for the use of that endorsement :-)****I forget the first rule for any component whatever: listenfirst for yourself****Aha! How true; nothing like listening for ourselves. I find most descriptions... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Lew, mine too sat in the box for months because of some (not all) underwhelming remarks. My experience so far proves, once again, that even the cognoscenti are mistaken at times; especially when they are not patient enough to allow for proper brea... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Thanks Acman, I just ordered a 412. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I look forward to your impressions of the 412, Chris. Actually, I have been seriously considering buying a 415 on the assumption (perhaps mistaken) that the body/motor of the 415 is the same as for the 420. I would like to experiment with fashioni... | |
| Are there any other EAR 834P modders lately? The two parts are most likely the two SUT's (step up transformers). The "MC stage " is comprised of the MM stage+SUT's. You may find this thread to be helpful:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1278350882&read&keyw&zzsut... |
