| Who is your Favorite Historical Conductor? @lowrider57 I purchased one of the later Bryston BDP Pi transports that supports DSD 128, HDCD and PCM 24/192. My DAC is the Ayre QB9 Twenty upgraded and supports DSD 256, PCM 384 and HDCD. So I can playback DSD 128 but no higher. The Ayre QB9 ori... | |
| Who is your Favorite Historical Conductor? @lowrider57 Well regardless of the type of download you purchase, I would guess that it would still be better than waiting for a package to ship from Canada (that is if you live in the US). But I agree that based on the information, even a standar... | |
| Who is your Favorite Historical Conductor? @lowrider57 Yeah, that Pristine Furtwangler certainly comes with a hefty price. About the Tape to Tape website, I have doubts that a hard copy, gold plated CD will sound equal to the DSD download as the gold CD isn’t an SACD. Some folks will say t... | |
| DAC suggestions There’s a Naim DAC on eBay for $2,500.00. | |
| Who is your Favorite Historical Conductor? @lowrider57 They're located in Canada so I'd suspect they'd been obligated to pay out royalties. However copyright laws only extend to about fifty years (at least with artwork). As far as DG recordings, I would be a skeptic but who knows? It alway... | |
| Who is your Favorite Historical Conductor? For anyone interested, I just came upon this High Definition Tape Transfers website. The reviews are good and there are a fair number of classical and jazz recordings available. Here's the Furtwängler page. https://www.highdeftapetransfers.ca/coll... | |
| Alan White-Yes. R.I.P. @bdp24 All-right, I'm going senile but I was still correct, Alan White is on 'All Things Must Pass' along with Jim Gordon, Ginger Baker and Ringo Starr. I believe Alan White played on Apple Jam somewhere but I can't remember where exactly. Check o... | |
| Breaking in new speakers, what is your favorite music for this? Nino Rota | |
| Who is your Favorite Historical Conductor? @lowrider57 Forgot to mention, I know of some of the Music & Arts releases but not many. I own the Lili Kraus Mozart Solo Piano Box Set and it is superb. | |
| Who is your Favorite Historical Conductor? @lowrider57 Yeah, I can recommend the d'Orfeo label in general. I was at the record store today and we were talking about the lawsuit against MOFI. The context of the discussion centered around whether all analogue remastering is actually superior... | |
| Who is your Favorite Historical Conductor? @mahler123 I remember a number of RCA and DG studio recordings of Furtwängler. Also, Warner released the complete studio recordings and it's a 55 CD box set. I'm thinking that would include the RIAS recordings. Anyway, that seems like a good amoun... | |
| Who is your Favorite Historical Conductor? @lowrider57 Here's a nice Furtwängler box set of the Vienna at the Salzburg Festival. The recordings were cleaned up. I own it and will say that it's nice being able to hear him in live performance. https://www.orfeomusic.de/CatalogueDetail/?id=C... | |
| Who is your Favorite Historical Conductor? The great violinist David Oistrakh was also a fine conductor. | |
| Who is your Favorite Historical Conductor? It’s a little difficult for me to separate the conductor from the orchestra. Of the three choices listed by the OP I’d have to choose Furtwangler with the Vienna or Berlin. One of my all time favorites not previously mentioned is Eduard Van Beinum... | |
| Alan White-Yes. R.I.P. If my memory serves me; he played on George Harrison’s ‘All Things Must Pass’ and I loved what he did on that record but didn’t care for the other things I heard him play on. Given that I liked him on Harrison’s record, my thought is that he suppo... |
