| Classical music recordings upgrade It's a shame that the intensity of many of Bernstein's NY performances were sabotaged by the incredibly crappy-sounding productions. Was someone really listening in the control booth?It has always baffled me that the artists themselves were not eq... | |
| EMM Labs on Bad Redbook Mike of Audio Federation,You had me till the end of paragraph 3. Paragraphs 4 and 5 could have been condensed to:If we don't sell it, it must be crap.Congratulations, you have succesfully proven your initial deduction about blanket statements. | |

| Glenn Gould piano recording of Beethoven It's (the former) Columbia Records...what else needs to be said!Since I began collecting records many years ago, I can't recall even one decent-sounding production. And, please, let's not even speak of their crappy vinyl. | |

| loading impedance Sean and Thomas,Thanks for the tips. I did the impedance settings when my Z1000 was brand new. Out of laziness, I didn't fuss with the Ono's settings. For a couple of days now, I have tried 47kohms (a bit too bright in my system) and 1000ohms (see... | |
| loading impedance Eralff,I own this cartridge. It's on a JMW 12.5 arm on a VPI TNT Mk. 5. I use the Pass Aleph Ono phonopre.What worked best for me were loads between 249 and 475 (Ono switch sets). I finally settled for 322.03. These are by no means the standard, i... |
