| young and new to analog update "so i was with my girlfriend in el suprimo records"...but were you at the top of the stairs?(couldn't resist) :-) | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Actually, last night: Mahler's 4th Symphony...especially, the 3rd & 4th movements. Columbia Masterworks series. Bernstein conducting the NY Philharmonic. Reri Grist is the soprano soloist. Don't think it is that great a recording from a sonic ... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music I always liked her single, "7 (?) Year Ache". Not sure I have that quite right. For whatever reason, don't own anything by her...must add her to the list. Thanks for the reminder, Rabco. | |
| Totem Forest or Acoustic Zen Adagio I think Digsmithd is giving good advice. I own the Forests and like them very much. I wish i could check out the Zen Adiogos...on the other hand, I hear magic every night with the Forests. When first installed I was concerned about a lack of bass.... | |
| Derivation of a Beautiful Piano Intro Solo? Audphile 1 - I guess I did miss your point but still don't agree! | |
| Derivation of a Beautiful Piano Intro Solo? PS - Jfz - I'll be checking out NYC Serenade tonight for sure and the intro in particular. For me, 4th of July is one of my favorite tracks on "The Wild, the Innocent...". | |
| Is this when you have "arrived??" Sorry - and I do not wish to offend - but I have to object. I'm not sure hardware should be credited more than the music itself. Being moved to tears by beauty doesn't require a high end audio system. | |
| Derivation of a Beautiful Piano Intro Solo? "What Springsteen has in this intro is some sort of Billy Joel-like cheap commercial piano works."...oh wait, Celine Dion is "high art"? | |
| Intergrated amp for Totem Sttaf Lamcam- This came up in the past...paste this link into your browser window. Good luck.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1132195466&read&keyw&zzjolida+502b+totem | |
| Intergrated amp for Totem Sttaf Rumadian - You wrote, "I would strongly advise against the Jolida/Sttaf combo. It's flat out a nasty." Would you mind being more specific? | |
| I have a book recommendation for you all. Thanks for the suggestion. | |
| Deep Cleaning Records With Steam? I've been following this thread for some time and wanted to offer a few comments. My post is somewhat long but hopefully not too boring. It might even be useful to some following this thread.Low, ppm levels of phosphate can precipitate with calciu... | |
| Cheapest system you could ever stand to listen to Knownothing - I think you started a great thread. I didn't intend to imply any criticism of it. Finding under valued/over achieving bargain components is a wonderful thing. Worth trading stories about. My post was intended as "hyperbole" - to put ... | |
| Recommend some SACD's? I only own 2 at this point, Peter Gabriel's "Up" and Diana Krall's "The Girl in the Other Room". "Up" is pretty amazing, sonically. | |
| Cheapest system you could ever stand to listen to A transistor radio under the pillow back in the '60s. The Beatles and the British invasion were happening. It was all about the music. F the equipment. It's about the music. |
