[quote user="N-set"]Ok, I admitt I might have gone too far with my generalization: I do not know the guy, a chance (faint in my experience with that region) is he has never stolen anything. My general disregard of ejaculations of dirty money, be audi...

Was listening today from Radio Netherlands the Rotterdam Philharmonic Mahler’s 9 symphony, Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducting. I very much did not get it from the beginning but the last two movements they grew up and it was very interesting. What I als...

[quote user="vuki"]Hi,Mr. Hiraga said (and it's also in the promo-flyer) that he uses modified GreatPlainsAudio coaxial, although the one in the speakers that were playing music looked more like original Altec 604 (because of the multicell horn). So,...

I also thought London should have more and better classical stations than Madrid. In Spain we have only two or three sindicated broadcast nets and but for the Radio Clasica channel and RNE3, all the others are always programming crappy music and "tal...

Of course I haven't compared it with the Sansui, which appears to be a very serious machine but the Leak sounds more natural to me than the other highly regarded tuners available over here (in the UK) such as the various Naim models, the Audiola...

I posted this request at the Yahoo FM group, the place reportedly owned by the Reichsführer-SS Bob Fitzgerald, I have mention that Moron-wanna-be-in-charge before. Thankfully that cretin does not show up there and the air in that bulletin blog is fre...

Ok, I have something to sleep tonight with – my dream came through and I got today my 60+ feet Rohn 25G antenna tower. With this elevation I will be able to get even Worchester local stations. I just need to get a variance from my town to erect it. ...

I guess you didnt have a chance to listen to the station broadcasting from the Met while in New York? Perhaps it is different. I get met broadcasts on satellite radio and the quality is horrendous but I guess thats a different story. Frankly, I...

Well it hard to find for whatever reasons. “Bescal” released it but I would not trust then and would look for the original Everest release. I do not know who sell CD and I have seen ay used market they goes for stupid prices. Still, you might fish th...

Up to the first fold the horn is somewhat conical as seen in post #1 picture.This picture shows the exit w/ additional angle wall (making for "corner" loading).This has a greater (uncalculated) flare something like a compound CD horn.Resonant F unkno...

"...what would you do with this driver." Please don't anyone take my silly joke at face value. It's fine for what it is (they sell to radio stations & the like) -- bad for what it isn't (indespensable atop yr spkr; improvement for yr cell ph...

Sorry to steer away from Harley, but have you Horn guys ever tried different flare terminations? That is, the boundary condition where the mouth and room meet. I once saw some interesting stuff done on large radio antennas that improved g...

The Delta Pro-8B looks like a very fine driver, in fact on the paper it is even better then Fane (with exception of sensitivity and inductance) The problem is that no one knows how this driver will sound until it is loaded into a specific horn, no o...

Poking around for options to acquire downloads of the Bruckner symphonies, including the performances briefly streamed free in April, I came across the following options on HDTracks.com. In no particular order we have, covering at least B4 through B9...

I sometimes listen to a little DX radio with crappy headphones, but not much of the "difficult" modern music gets aired around here. I may have some Schoenberg LPs that I never listen to, really can't talk about. What I often hear is along the lines ...

...I'd have deleted it too. The essay was way more about you than the music, and the sideswipes at BMI were entirely gratuitous.Their review of the M2 was however the most frivolous piece of writing about serious music I've read since, oh, 1958.The p...

I understand this is a "popular" piece of music (popular for classical music, anyway), but I never really got into it the way I did Brahms' PC 2 and a couple of others. But this piece came on my clock radio on a Sunday night, and I later learned it w...

Both of these short excerpts sound very natural from what I can hear on my PC's speakers. I'll have to burn them onto a cd and see if I can coax the sniffy Teac into playing it!What's the position with regard to this (or any other) material that...

"FM is a public domain"I'd imagine if some less than scrupulous individual took to recording live broadcasts and then produced extremely high quality audio CD's from them for general sale, the performers and the radio station might have something to ...

So I gave a serious listen to the vinyl source vs. the digital playback to try to get some idea of how much damage the AtoD -> DtoA does. I matched the volume levels as well as I could using my ancient radio shack SPL meter. To me it seems t...

Romy:you must mean person with Zu Druid. What did he not like about Druid in the end (bass aside)? What did he not like about Altec? What off-the-shelf speaker is he going to try next, or will he throw it all in and stick with Bose table radio? Or Du...

I really wanted to enjoy the digital concert hall but their sound quality is not up to par. Last time I checked it was 256kbits. However, there has been recent developments and they have streamed a double dsd (5.6mhz) concert.Sadly I have missed this...

Interesting timing for this question: just today the Radio of Amsterdam broadcasted their version of La Mer and had some thoughts about it, primary in audio contexts…. The Debussy’s La Mer is one of the “lucky” pleases of music and it is well perform...

Never heard Borsamski or Kreutzer, or even about them…. Clarks, have you heard the Jerry’s discovery - the Anton Nanut with Ljubljana Radio Symphony? They have two know to me performances of the Fists committed to CDs and both of them are good. The ...

enjoyment from the Norwegian Radio web radio. They have a wonderful mix

They broadcast at 192KB which is not super fidelity, but their cho...
