| Mozart-Clarinet Quintet @frogman Thanks for the link! Those appear to be some wonderful instruments, I wouldn't mind owning a few myself. @mahler123 Yes, both BIS and Pentatone were early with their releases on SACD. I've never owned a good disc player much less an SACD... | |
| Mozart-Clarinet Quintet Anybody know, who makes modern historical instruments? | |
| Mozart-Clarinet Quintet @mahler123 I’m not surprised that any label is moving away from SACD given that audiophiles are no longer buying disc players as they once had. Also, the mastering behind DSD is different than SACD. I’m wondering if streaming services will ever of... | |
| Modern Turkish music Here's their website; https://www.babazula.com/ 'Gecekondu' is consistently good throughout. 'Cecom' is one of my favorite songs and here's the video; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPzJ58DRZ5U | |
| Mozart-Clarinet Quintet @mahler123 Mozart wrote a piece for the postal horn, the same horn that postal carriers used to announce the mail delivery. | |
| Modern Turkish music Well, there is a band from Turkey that I like but it is different from what you've been engaged in. They use traditional Turkish instrument but with electronic effects. They play Turkish folk psychedelic with projected images and belly dancers. Th... | |
| Direct Drive @dover @sokogear Know anything about the Rega 78 table and cartridge combination? Seems like the best option for 78 shellac records. Also, it's large leap in price from the Rega 880 to the 3000. | |
| Direct Drive @dover Threaded VTA adjusters are available for any Rega mount. https://soundsupports.co.uk/Rega%20Related%20Products/ Of course Rega wants their customers to buy Rega cartridges but to me that seems limiting. I do believe in the compatibility fa... | |
| Direct Drive @dover The OL's use gimbal bearings. OL incorporates a floating bearing design but I don't believe they're loose. My thought is that one would have to do a side by side comparison to determine which arms sounds better. I'd expect to see compari... | |
| Direct Drive I believe one of the things that should be recognized here is whether a vintage table would be preferable to a modern table. Micro-Seiki made some great DD tables but many believe the newer tables to be better. I'd say decide for yourself as eithe... | |
| Direct Drive @dover So your saying that the Rega arms are built better than the OL arms. I've been told differently by a dealer of both brands but I wouldn't rule it out. I doubt either tonearms are built like an SME, Triplaner, and many others at that level. | |
| Direct Drive @sokogear And the tonearm is the best part of the Rega table? I’m not that well versed in Rega tables but that doesn’t seem too encouraging. People rave about Rega tables but I don’t hear praise about the Rega tonearm by itself so there is somethi... | |
| Most Extensive State-of-the-Art DAC Survey Ever! So bring those DAC's over to my house and let me hear them with my equipment, otherwise who cares? | |
| Direct Drive DD Micro-Seiki https://www.vinylengine.com/library/micro-seiki/dd-20.shtml https://www.soundandvision.com/content/micro-seiki-jewel-rack | |
| Direct Drive @sokogear I can't understand why most Rega owners wouldn't opt for Origin Live tonearms. OL turned the Rega on its head and is considered a bargain. |
