[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
It is a recursive subject at my site that the sad state of music/audio industry is not due to some cosmic or social reasons but due to the very specific and very idiotic actions of very specific individuals who run the i...

well,well, well.Big words.If the Marriot played the music from the Sound Liaison Label,in their elevators with a good sound system, I'd be riding that Thing all day.But that's the beauty of music,diversity.and Glen Gould,of course,no surpassing that,...

First of all I had a good conversation with Lynx people. Pacific is very well known to them unit and many of their customers use it. They suggested as the most typical application for their customers to slave Lynx from Pacific in A/D mode and to ...

I once came across this article on Stereo and Phase by JM LeCleach. It has interesting considerations on the subject of imaging:

Gentleman, I very much not deny to you rights to like whatever you like. I would question way you insist others to like it but it is OK, apparently it now you feel. The point it that this is a site about advanced audio and that Netherlands girl-with-...

I can contact them again and ask for a price quote for the SLC. These people don't do audio at all. When I contacted them for my RE-1009/2T they couldn't understand how it was possible that any audio equipment could take any profit of their products....

First, the Fifth: The first movement is indeed a stunner, nothing comes close. For the rest, I can line up competition. But no matter! The "live" aspect trumps all.The Met, indeed, had its moments but was not a keeper.The Traviata was terrific! Even ...

I got the new BSO 88/24 files them briefly listened a few fragments. Generally I do like them and they are nothing like the 320kbps multi-channel WMA that BSO marketed before. My fear that the files might have issues with tone turned out to be not ne...

If US government would grand me immunity from prosecution and would allow me to commit one single non-punishable crime then I with great jubilation would slaughter the idiots who decided to sell MP3 at Amazon. The Amazon’s selling MP3 is a disaster ...

good point in here;graphic cards perform so well because they are optimized to perform limited tasks and are cheap.I have been listening

I could forgive Mr Rose his personality defects if he was producing soundfiles of some distinction rather than just doing 24/192 needledrops. The scary thing is that his patrons contend that these concoctions are the equal of using the mastertape. As...

I am not surprised this kind of bizarre affirmation coming from a guy whom aim to live of royalties from copyrighted material.WAV or WAVE (aka Audio for Windows) is owned by Microsoft and IBM, and AIFF is owned by Apple Inc.I do not know the current ...

[quote user="clarkjohnsen"]Actually it may be! At that time, and to some degree presently, the VPO had perhaps 250 members who played on a rotating basis; in fact a person didn't even have to attend the rehearsal to play in a concert. Those who weren...

So I bought the Bruckner symphony collection by the Bavarian Radio (Bayerische Rundfunk) Orchestra. It was the least expensive set offered by HDTracks and I thought it would be interesting to hear how different conductors approach Bruckner. It has Ma...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Please, please, please, the British folks, make sure that you have download, record or whatever you do the last night Bruckner 8 performance. Leave the hornblende Bach plaing in the first part alone and preserve that Brucke...

Hm, I did not know that they spited the file on two halfs. I presume that it was their “catch”. Immediately uninstall the software they made you to download and run the intrusion detection procedures on your PC.

[quote user="Paul S"]While I've hardly gone out of my way to learn more about streaming digital, the reason for that is the consistently mediocre results in my experience. Really, how does one rate and build on streaming digital in musical terms? So...

I appreciate that Guy made the FM recording available. If you listen the Guy’s files then make sure that you combine the files before listening as to interrupt Bruckner movements is sacrilegious. The whole Bruckner presentation come as one longer med...

Here is 40 min I just recorded; it is 2.3G mp4 video file. It is all yours. It saved to me 2 hours of writing
