I would love to add an N-Sub to my SBL system. However I never get the opportunity to play my system at anything like a reasonable volume. Does the sub need a decent volume to operate? Is there any point in having a sub if your system is only played...
1 - Interpretation : Abbado has achieved a balance unequaled in my experience. It imbues the readings with a sense of inevitability and pathos compelling in its completeness and finality. No note is out of place.2 - Execution : The orchestra is...
I fancied hearing a bit of good old 70s rock today and remembering I am missing a few classic vinyls stopped off at the record barn to pick up Rumors, Rising and ELP.I noticed there was a few different version of Rumors, I got the one with cream label...
I see the Long Blondes have decided to call it a day following Dorian's stroke. How are you going to get your kate jackson fix now?
I remember from another thread that there are a few forum members going to this concert in a couple of weeks time. I was wondering if anyone fancies meeting up beforehand, perhaps for a drink/something to eat? I'm travelling down by train (only about...
Hi to those amongst you with mouth watering Naim equipment (the full 500 series)...What is the most audiophile album you have heard on your system??I'm really curious!!Jon (with a mid-range Naim)
Just curious if anyone here has heard of these guys called "Undigitize" here in the US. They claim to have some super top secret process that makes your CD's sound way better. They take your disc, process it and re burn to a black CDR.Curiosity bit me...
Does anyone have a sense of which download format sounds better (given the inherent limitations of any file compression), iTunes or Amazon?Amazon uses a variable bit rate depending on the complexity of the sound source, aiming for an average of...
Is it worth having? Doesn't seem to offer much more than nice packaging, so do I need this given that I have pre- and post-pitch corrected CD and vinyl and probably even cassette lying around?Ta,Huw
I think Underworld may have finally scored with their (5th) new album Oblivion With Bells. The track Beautiful Burnout is fab (after the crap of 100 Days Off, IMHO.b
Has anyone got one of the new Naim HD discs and compared to the CD yet.Sorry if this should be in the other forum but I can't bear to be deluged with another boring where's the Naim DAC, Lavry blah blah blah discussion.I'm really interested if anyone...
Can anyone make any mathcore recomendations? Other than Dillinger Escape Plan obviously
Wed 26th Nov 2008SOLO PERFORMANCE (Guitars - Steel-nylon-fretless guitar )Reknowned for his virtuoso solo performances, this is a rare opportunity to catch Forcione completely on his own, when he lets his creative spirit run freely, and man and guitar...
I posted this elsewhere and here is a slightly edited version:Haydn was "the" master of the symphony for me. I could happily part with Brahms and Beethoven, even Mozart, in their symphonies, so long as I could keep Haydn's!Of Haydn's, my favourites...
StravinskyPercy GraingerPoulancthis year, at least.
This looks quite promising, especially in 200g half-speed mastered black stuffHow many different formats have I bought this music in?
I bought this cd today and is amazing how a music so old plays so well.It is like Sonny Rollins,if you like what you do,age is not an issue!
Just got this through the mail. This is the remaster by RVG, 24 bit transfer reissue produced by Michael Cuscuna I have been comparing to my friend's 1987 transfer by "Ron McMaster" (is that really a person?) also produced by Michael Cuscuna.Apart...
I remember it as if it were yesterday. Several years ago I stood in a CD music store holding the Decca set of complete Piano Sonatas (12 cd's) played by John McCabe in one hand and the Decca set of complete Symphonies (33cd's) conducted by Antal...

Once again, just curious."in matters of taste, there can be no dispute"i.e. each of us decides for himself what has valueFor me, it starts here :1-tempos and dynamics that "illuminate" the work. choice of tempo, including the use of rubato, is one of...
