I forward you post to Amy and here is what she responsed:
“hmmm, bruckner is not the most snow-evocative composer. opening of 7? 4? personally, i like mahler 4 in a blizzard - something about the sleighbells. lieutenant kije suite, sibelius 3,...

It is kind of suck for Bruckner lovers in America. The American audience do not listen Bruckner too much so the orchestras understandably do not book Bruckner ‘s symphonies. If some visiting conductors do Bruckner then the US orchestras do not do ...

One of my friends did it right, he bought his system first and married later, before he did that he showed all to...

“I am not sure that I would like to learn it as I am afraid that it will start bothering me.”
Roman, I see that she has accurately answered your question - her statement above.

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Well, I need to admit that with arriving Thomas and to a
degree with adopting Amy my relationship with my listening room have changed.
It is not the relationship change but the volume that listening room occupies in
my d...

Well, this concept of Defense Mode is good for superficial explanation (or for selling to ourselves own justifications) and I use to use it in past but I do not use it for a few years as unfortunately it is not what it is. The correction of “the wron...

That is very different fun. Sitting on the deck and smoking something like Astleys
99 while Macondo was playing something spectacular is kind of common routine of
mine foe years but today it is so different. Now I am in the same chair, on the

The last week Amy played BPO concert. A part of program was Liszt’s
second piano concerto, that typically hated but I always liked it. I did not have a lot of expectation but what I
witnessed made me to feel that I just experienced the best alive ...

Actually my interest with Bruckner in a way was very much associated
with Clark. A couples years back, when I confronted him with that memory, my
wife even begin to express to Clark her gratitude and she got a husband out of this
deal (Amy and I m...

[quote user="decoud"]Perhaps you should use the cathedral configuration to make a synergy horn of the entire ceiling: tweeter at the apex, mf a little further down each wall, and bass at the base. Were it steeper it could actually work. [/quote]

Wow, two concerts on a row and both are phenomenal. On Friday
NY Philharmonic showed off some very serious Bruckner and last night Boston Philharmonic
delivered an absolute thrill with Rachmaninoff second symphony. The first part
they did Mozart's...

I have been thinking how to position my playback in my new
listening room. It is a cathedral ceiling with chopped top and the room is set
in a way that I can do both positioning of playback: along the room center beam
and perpendicular to it. Tha...

Do not know, I do not like the Tanglewood shed, I do not like
how an orchestra sound in there, I do not like the people sitting on the loan,
eating hamburgers and listening “music” and in fact I am not a huge fun of that Lenox and Stockbridge envir...

The PurePower folks visited recently a couple of my local audio guys and brought with them the new units. With all my admiration of their products, I was kind of if not skeptical but caution. I told to Bill that if he tried the new PurePower 300...

It is very nice and indeed and
under normal circumstance you will not need any permanent multimeter. It is for sure nice to have it when
you put a new 6C33C in use as plate current run wildly while the new tube is
burning in. It is still OK to do ...

Where to get time for everything?
Amy the Kitten is playing this week with Boston Philharmonic
Rachmaninoff Second Symphony. It might be interesting. The Second Symphony is
"strange" work and you never know what to expect. I will be attuning

I just declared the rest of the night and nigh of pleasure.

Tonight will be very special treat. ...

I was listening this morning the Bavarian Radio Symphony touring
Taiwan played Dvorák and Mussorgsky a few days back and once again I was stricken how much
I love the Bydlo from the Mussorgsky 's Picture.

Well, after many considerations I am inclined to decide to
go to “lessen footprint” direction. My “equipment corner” is making itself not

A few days back Simon
Rattle brought but Berlin Philharmonic in Boston and blew my mind. I never was
a huge fun of Simon Rattle and the music was garbage (Mahler 7). We were

We spent many days to unpacking and I am sure the final unpacking

Last few weeks Amy was playing with BPO, and it was surprisingly
good. Zander’s Boston Philharmonic is very strange orchestra. Sometime Zanders’
interpretations are just “survival” and sometime BPO do sound like semi-professional
orchestra. But so...
