| Classical Music for Aficionados I think Martin has recorded more Alkan than any other composer, so in my book that’s a feather in his cap. I noticed a Mompou disk that should be investigated. BTW, any strong Mompou recommendations?On the strength of her Schubert recital, I got B... | |
| recommendation for rca interconnect for deeper bass for dac to preamp This whole "cables shouldn't be used as tone controls" argument is one of the most bogus in the whole of the audio world.A cable is a component, right?We select components based, in part, on whether their sonic profile is warm, neutral, cool, full... |
