[quote user="jeff1225"]I never understood the affinity that the Germans have for heavy metal. Whenever you going into any of their rooms at CES (especially MBL), Slayer is playing at 130 DB. Maybe it's the modern interpretation of Wagner.[/quote] Jef...

A ‘solution” was brewing in my mind: that “they” need would be moves. I think the cinematographers and are classical music promoters are loosing whole point in here. Classical music propagandists keep bitching that the classical music is loosing mark...

It sounds like a lot of the circling has to do with which 2A3 "sounds better", outright. In any case, I'm guessing everyone would agree that it is specious to argue about which 2A3 sounds most like some internally-estab...

[quote user="clarkjohnsen"]I was privileged to hear Munch do it there in '66 and I remember even still the viscerality and excitement of it, although the band was not as competent in those days.[/quote]I know the Munch’s recording very well. It is no...

Tomorrow MET will be broadcasting Barenboim leading MET with Tristan and Isolde. It has been run for 2 weeks I has generally a good reception.

I would certainly love to see James Leven in there but it is what it is. ...

[quote user="steverino"]I always thought that Stokowski was very attuned to Mussorgsky. I think he was the first conductor of the original Boris Godunov version by Mussorgsky as opposed to the R-K orchestration. His Boris Suites are a good "synthesis...

Thank you Gentlemen, "I would offer some of my commentary of the subject. The very first thing you need to find out if your audio anti-Brucknerism has natural or audio nature."Of course any input you can offer will be gladly considered. Yes, of ...

Well... tis for all reading/following this thread. As Romy pointed out, having high gain is not the same as power. And as Adrian hinted at... the overall system paradigm is important. If you're only barely cracking the volume control on yo...

I disagree with Stitch assessment that ML3/Alexandria combination is expensive mismatch. I do not agree that it is some kind of match as well. Everything is in the hands of a system owner and Sound that playback makes is not a reflection of brand...

The next week you need to be dead to skip Boston’s Symphony Hall.
This week James Levine returns from his long medical sabbatical with all-Wagner program. Levine looks like fine nowadays and this week he conducted Metropolitan. BSO is perfectl...

Kodomo, I do not like ported sound, it always have a problem
with the way how ported enclosures present vowels. You can tune them in this
way or in that way but all of the ported systems I heard have the own characteristic
coloring vowel at the ve...

[quote user="drdna"]For some reason your description made me immediately think of Alfred Schnittke's Gogol Suite. What do you think?[/quote]
The Gogol Suite is very different Music. The Suite has that scorny spiral development where the second shoe ...

I'm open to Classical, I have about 200 or so albums, I do like some pieces very much. I simply prefer jazz, blues, folk and male/female vocal on the main. I don't listen to rock at all, the horns are currently playing Charlie Haden (Jazz) as...

We would not use Mahler’s orchestra to play Haydn’s symptoms and we would not use Palestrina’s orchestra to play Brahms. It is not even the deferent time period but rather a different set of expressive tools the symphonic and chamber orchestras u...

[quote user="oxric"] I just wished you would find it in you, out of fairness and common courtesy, to keep the thread within the boundaries within which it was raised, that is a technical discussion on the approach of Frank Shroder to the design o...

Hello Haralanov,It is hard to talk about sound, and define points: this is why the post is so long.Most systems I have lisitened to that measure a flat response have exagerated high frequencies and usually the midbass is a little shy, this might be ...

The Boston FM radio and my Sansui TU-X1 tuner gave another magnificent treat - a whole weekend of Bruno Walter music. I always liked Bruno Walter, although he never was my “buy on spot” conductor. Performances of some conductor (for instance Sc...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Two hours after the end of the glorious Götterdämmerung from MET, I was sitting at the D row, center sit of Jordan Hall right in front of conducting podium of Boston Philiharmonic and Natalia Gutman. What can I say? I ...

Seven hours of live music Sunday, from Bela Fleck through New Orleans jazz to Wagner -- all on the radio.

For sure despite my attitude against computer audio I will rebuild
my dyeing machine. However, in addition to regular critiques that I have toward

Yes indeed. The company was originally Nova Physics and appears to have been sold on to Sam Laufer, a lawyer by profession originally who brought in Mark Porzilli of Melos and Pipedreams fame. I do not know if this company actually manufactures or se...

I figured out that my site turned out to be a quite good source for “PurePower’s Survival Guide”. It would be nice to abstract the PurePower into a separate subject but it is too much intervened with the thread of “Bad Electricity” that I decided to ...
