Bruskie Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Thanks Brian for the heads up. Julie Steinberg and David Abel are a wonderful team on the Wilson Audiophile label which I recently acquired. Johanna Martzy on the Deutsche Grammophon label is lovely too! I have been waiting for some of Martzy's recordings on the Analogphonic (SWR Music) label through Acoustic Sounds to be available again as they are on backorder and not available directly from the label. @Boom Boom Beautiful looking TT with some deserving Classic Records worthy of that table. I'll check out your phono stage too. Enjoy Bruce 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boom Boom Posted August 20, 2023 Author Share Posted August 20, 2023 Just broke in a pair of Transparent Gen 6 Super RCAs. I'm using them with my headphone amp. After around 200 hours, the depth and air and details emerged, along with accuracy in the bass response. Enjoying this oldie but goodie to appreciate the improvements. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boom Boom Posted August 24, 2023 Author Share Posted August 24, 2023 My new cables started sounding good at 200 hours. It sounds even better at 500 hours. Time to break this one out: I remember the first time I heard Ayre equipment. Curtis Havens at Advanced Audio hooked them up to Vandersteen 5s as well as 2CEs. He played this album for me. I ended up buying the album. Came close to buying the Ayre K3 &V3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boom Boom Posted September 4, 2023 Author Share Posted September 4, 2023 I played my systems for a non-audiophile friend. He enjoys live opera. He wanted to hear the clarity of the systems. So I put these on: First time I unfolded the 1Cs and the 2CE Sig 3s with my new electronics. He turned the volume up. Sound was loud but clear. He liked hearing all the performers. I let him know I chose the speakers to work well in my smaller bedroom and in my living room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the most extensive opera collection, it's growing. German composers I have with Opera recordings come from Wagner and Mozart. Beethoven's probably my favorite German Composer. It's no wonder why I like how the music was written. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like most listeners, I favor the odd-numbered symphonies and Piano Concerto #5, the "Emperor." The second movement of Symphony #7 is particularly beautiful for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boom Boom Posted September 19, 2023 Author Share Posted September 19, 2023 This was my first classical recording I purchased: Back in high school one of my class mates was an award winning cellist in the state. So I sought out cello music. This was my introduction to Yo Yo Ma. I still have the LP. I later bought the complete set on CD. Eventually I found a high rez digital version, which I'm listening to now: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkeske Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Just arrived today, this set is only on LP as far as I know. Pretty wonderful collection by Karajan and the Berliners. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sbank Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Just released. Picked up the vinyl yesterday after streaming it on Qobuz. Rumored to be Bob Ludwig's last mastering project. Musically more experimental echoes of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and A Ghost is Born than their recent releases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boom Boom Posted October 30, 2023 Author Share Posted October 30, 2023 First time I've acquired and listened to, music from a reed quintet. Sound is incredible. My Vandersteens do the recording justice. 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
