| Do larger planar speakers produce more accurate sound? chungjh, The ASR Emitter 2 Exclusive is what I have and I've never regretted purchasing it. Recently, I had some issues with the output relays but that seems to be resolved. I've replaced the acid gel batteries once since I bought it in 2011. The... | |
| Do larger planar speakers produce more accurate sound? richopp, I do not get listening fatigue from my Quads. Which makes me wonder what type of amplification you’re using. I’m driving my 2905’s with an ASR Emitter Exclusive and I get bored before getting any fatigue. | |
| Do larger planar speakers produce more accurate sound? chungjh, yes, Music Direct and MOFI are the same company. No one here has mentioned Acoustats. Anyone own these and if so, what are your thoughts? | |
| Do larger planar speakers produce more accurate sound? chungjh, my understanding is that Music Direct will stop distribution of Quad ESL’s. I don’t know if they will drop Quad all together. Just realize that if you purchase the 2912’s or any Quad electrostatic speaker, that the panels will eventually ... | |
| Do larger planar speakers produce more accurate sound? I have Quad 2905's which create a circular pattern where as the Quad 57's have a linear pattern. If you were to take the panels apart from both speakers, you'd see a remarkable difference. Anyway, the 57's have the best sounding mid range but the ... | |
| Beethoven Complete Works boxed set recommendations I would advise looking around for reviews. Gramohone Magazine is my most trusted source but if I had to choose from those you've mentioned, I'd go with the Deutsche Grammophon just for the Herbert von Karajan recordings. Anyway, DG certainly have ... | |
| Best double live vinyl? A lot of people are mentioning Little Feat’s ‘Waiting For Columbus’. I will agree that the recording is pretty good for when it was recorded but I saw Jean Luc Ponty at the Lisner Auditorium and that hall has the worse acoustics of any hall I’ve b... | |
| Best double live vinyl? Can't remember when I last heard this album, maybe sometime in the mid seventies but James Brown's 'Live At The Apollo' has always been considered one of the best live records of all time. MOFI reissued it around 1993. | |
| Mono Recommendations tablejockey, I like the Ella, 'Harold Arlen Songbook Volume 2' from that time period. I run hot and cold with Ella. I had a copy of 'Like Someone In Love' and the portamento was off. Then I figured out that the string section was recorded first an... | |
| Mono Recommendations bdp24, I'll look into on my end. I would make the assumption that if they were offered individually, that they'd be available online. I can ask someone I know at one of the record stores here. Anyway, thanks for clarifying and I'll look into it fu... | |
| Mono Recommendations bdp24, sorry about the confusion. I know I've heard those albums but it was so long ago I cannot remember. It would be preferable if I could buy those two mono records separately. Same with the Rolling Stones mono box set. I want the Decca Between... | |
| Mono Recommendations Thanks all, I know this topic is a bit arcane so I am appreciative for every response. | |
| Mono Recommendations noromance, thanks, I'm going to get a copy! | |
| Mono Recommendations noromance, I noticed the Carmen McRae 'Bittersweet which I'm not familiar with. I have the mono Alfie which apparently is sought out in Paris. A record store around the 11h Arrondissement wanted around sixty euros for a mono Alfie. I paid about se... | |
| Mono Recommendations bdp24, I was disappointed with the Beatles mono remasters but I had a different cartridge then so maybe I should try Rubber Soul again. I have the MOFI Dylan on cd, it's exceptional. Do you know if there's a good mono pressing of 'Odyssey and Orac... |
