Do you think only Russian composed stupid music to celebrate own leaders? (BTW, not all that music was stupid) Well, in US we do it as well. David Diamond (a prolific American composer and the author of 11 symphonies, dozen quarters and so on) ...

[quote user="Lbjefferies7"] I listened to his Concerto-Rhapsody for Cello and Orchestra today. I have only one performance of this piece, with Rostropovich/Svetlanov/Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra and was wondering if anyone knew any other valua...

I do not feel that it is Putin war at all and I feel very unfortunately that it is how is being sold in West. It is just a plan vanilla us war against Russia via Ukrainian proxy. Unfortunately Ukraine does not exist since 2014 as a country but ex...

[quote user="morricab"]I have a phono stage from the Korean company Silvaweld that uses the 5651 tube in the power supply as a voltage reference. It also is using a Russian 6C19Pi tube along with EF86 pentode as the high voltage regulator. ...

Interesting that Estonians, the very much as Latvians and Latvanians, although they are located geographically right among the Slaves have absolutely none-Slav music. I mean listening thier music, even juts a few accords, instantly sends a mess...

Nowadays, during the week of Shostakovich’s anniversary of 100th birthday, it has been a lot of Shostakovich’s music played here in there. With all my “issues” with Mahlerism-Shostakovich I still listen their music, what whatever reasons…. Today ther...

Hi,[quote user="morricab"]You may be right. It would perhaps be worthwhile to look into "better" transformers but I am not sure that an advantage can be found over just going RCA to XLR adaptor into the balanced inputs and thereby bypassing the...

So, I have been looking into suitable valves to base a preamplifer around that are suitable for driving the DSET's. The pre must have a broad bandwidth, low output impedance, some current drive, and not be prone too easily to microphony. Oh, and pr...

[quote user="cv"] Did I ever mention my sulphur hexafluoride idea to you? You fill a horn with this gas, sealing the front with some loose fitting heavy grade mylar or whatever. The horn can then be 44% of the size you'd otherwise need. [/quote] Hm, ...
