a very good take on ones 'motivation' of musical likes and dislikes. In fairness I have listened to some rendition of Brahms’s 2nd piano concerto and it has something more for me, yet it might just simply be more 'accessible'? Maybe it has some sort ...

Thanks Romy,Yes, I will explore Khachaturian more...I like him even though he keeps company with the lesser respected of composers. It is kind of a shame that the secondary composers often get pushed aside by the major, important work...

A few weeks ago Amphissa sent me a collection of recordings of Myaskovsky. I knew Myaskovsky, head his Sixth Symphon, “something else” and his cello concerto but to have a pile of selected CDs by a great aficionado of the Myaskovsky's music really he...

Frank Blöhbaum, from Sweden I believe, have designed for Thorens a preamp that I think the first outside of Russia commercial use my 6E5P tube.

I do not know if Frank reads this site but if ...

I do not think that it is socket different. The socket is
invisible and it appears rather a standard Russian ceramic socket. What is unusual
is that the tube has a harness that typically used for permitting the tube to
work upside down and under d...

Here is a not frequently performed on West but beautiful Symphony, unfortunately and unreasonably neglected. A few words about Kalinnikov.Vasily Sergeyevich Kalinnikov was born in 1866 at Voina, in the Oryol District, where Turgenev, Henry James's "b...

It is imposable entering the holiday season to walk across Boston’s Beacon Hill neighborhood and do not be “abused” by sound of Nutcracker coming from each open window. I just returned from my 15 minuets walk across Beacon Hill to my favorite Antonio...

Lx, you do not need to convince me that PP2000 has problem or problems. Of cause it is way beyond the sophomoric solutions like lift the ground and AC polarity. No, I did not try the cascading PP2000, I did ask PurePower about it and they were no...

I saw today link of a Russian guy who was trying to make set a playback around JBL-2490.

The speaker turn out to be a ridicules – 2490 in upperbass shorted version of WE horn...

[quote user="mats"]Sorry Romy, the broadcast was early in March, and I missed it too.Tonight I am going to the live performance. I think FMT struggled a bit with the sound this first year.Did you hear any of the Lyric broadcasts?
I have been playing...

It was Shostakovich Ninth, it played a couple days back; it was the FM broadcast by the estimable MTT and San Francisco. I hardly call it as a symphony. Rather it is a compilation of musical irrationality, though written amazingly smart and rational....

This weekend I am starting to draw the sketch and the preliminary building plan for my midbass horns. I initially thought to recruit somebody who have done it to help me with plan but after consulting with a few people I feel confident that I hav...

Hmmmmmmm, Jerry I do know Shostakovich very well, and it is not that I do not “get” him. I do “get “him unfortunately. I just I do not like many of his “thighs”, that might have4 to do with many things – my personal heritage and my “admiration” of ma...

Each new idea is an opportunity or a pain to be involved into a new round of custom work. With all my considerations regarding engaging the DHT I more and more biased to have YO186 as the leading candidate, in fact I almost decided to do it. Fr...

There is an instrument-making in St. Petersburg, Russian, it call Kazitsky Manufacturing. Nowadays it is a typical post Soviet facility that has no interest but it has an interning history in context of Milq’s MF channel. The Kazitsky Manufacturi...

The story of my great discoveries about this:At school I was teased by Sherlock Holmes. I always get to the truth and to any secrets. I'm still doing great left hook. I was the only left-handed, it was my advantage. So little to me who was fighti...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] After a few month of living with YO186 I think I know everything about this tube. I do not use the YO186 all time and I think the explanation why I do not use it all time would well describe what YO186 is and how I use...

Rowuk, of course it is very professional production, and it
is very professional native orchestration. Still, its doe does not make the
story not true and does not devaluate the message of this girl. No different from
the Schwarzenegger message, b...

Romy,FWIW I listened to a lot of Bruckner and Mahler when I was younger. Over time I noticed that I preferred Mahler when he was more objective and Bruckner when he was more subjective. So at my riper age I listen to Mahler's Sym 2 and 9 and occas...

[quote user="Amphissa"] Mats, I agree with you. The recording of the cello concerto by Natalia Gutman with Svetlanov conducting is the best overall performance of this beautiful concerto. It is unfortunate that she never toured in the West. She is re...

Ok, who do not play Rachmaninoff toady? I kind of dived today into the Rachmaninoff’s liturgy and even went so far as span an album of Nina Koshetz songs… :-) BTW, for the East Coast falks if you are interested:

[quote user="JANDL100"]I agree that a lot of the orchestral/choral music is pro-Soviet propaganda crap pumped out by a good, card carrying servant of the regime who is eager to please his political masters. [/quote] I have no problems with it if it w...

may be to hear them in this case. While there is actually some Tone, the whole does not seem to equal (let alone exceed) the sum of the parts. Or, perhaps it does! I would like to hear something more rigorous and complex than "the usual" music the...

Hello everyone,This seems like the place where the 6C33C experts hang out so I figured I'd ask my question here.I'm currently collecting parts to build my very own 6C33C amplifier, and I had bought some of the cheap chinese sockets for it and thought...

Yes, decoud, the 6e5p-GM70 is an easy amp but 6e5p is a hell of voltage driver and I do not feel that a single 6e5p will be able to drive GM70 into grid currents. If people use dead speakers and need a lot of power than use the ability of direct hea...

Oh, might God, Murat, I am so sorry. This is the very first

that you are a Moron but after listening

I do not know the “USSR made 2A9”. My feeling is that all USSR-made driver were crap but who knows, might be three is something did exist in there. It is hard to presume that if the guy changed from dual GOTO SG146LD to basically direct radiators wit...

There was a cool Russian-made tube GU-48. It is high-gain, high power pure direct heated triode with 300W on plate and 10A on carbonized tungsten cathode. I did not hear but it looks like something in the class of RCA 833 tubes. I think Japanese sel...
