Well, let call it Slav music. All Russian composers of 20 century were in one way of other took the torch from Rimsky-Korsakov. Ironically I’m not a big fun of Rimsky-Korsakov’ symphonic music because it is too Slav, overwhelmingly and insultingly Sl...

I was watching the program and it was as disgusting as I could theoretically imagine. The New York Philharmonic was quite fine; in fact the Dvorak’s “New Word” they played was remarkably good. There were some slippages in the play, in the end of the ...

I usually do not cruse across DIY forums unless someone folks about me. Here it was - at some Russian DIY site they translated my article “6C33C survival guide” that made me to see what they have in there. One article from their site attracted my...

thee srp in Zarathustra is cathode bias, melq is grid bias. If gas biased the srpp it would no longer be the circuit in zarathustra. what would this do to sound i have no idea. The function of the gas tubes in melq are not only for providing bias. ...

[quote user="hagtech"]Hey, I never thought of this. You can run 1/2 the tube at a time! This actually puts it within the limits of the VacuTrace. I can test each side separately.[/quote]

Hi,
I have a phono stage from the Korean company Silvaweld that uses the 5651 tube in the power supply as a voltage reference. It also is using a Russian 6C19Pi tube along with EF86 pentode as the high voltage regulator. The rectifier is...

Yes , I told Romy about this funny idea , which is quite simple of course - to make a simple SRPP stage on special hi-voltage tubes , powered with high voltage supply ( 10000 V , for example ) and drive the electrostat panel directly from the output ...

After a month of listening exclusively Melquiades and decided yestoday re-switch everything and to play Lamm’s ML2.
I was quite shocked with the result and I did not anticipate the ML2 could be so way off. I will not elaborate about the a...

[quote user="el`Ol"]Weren't these speakers (at least in Germany) normally used built-in (infinite baffle situation)? And I don't like the word "open baffle" because it can mean anything. It reaches from quasi-IB like proposed by PHY-HP up to that mor...

In science, people organize the perception of reality using various theoretical concepts.One of such concepts is e.g. the electromagnetic field, which very successfullyexplains some class of perceived phenomena. The main people behind this conceptare...

For Beethoven, piano concerto's try Martha Argerich with Claudio Abaddo.
Consider Prokofiev's symphonies conducted by Gergiev with the LSO, if you like Russian music ... of course pretty much all of V. Gergiev's material is top notch.
Also worth yo...

I was gifted a mono LP version of this performance, which I have listened to closely but once, with fair electricity. This time I was more impressed with the orchestra/orchestration than the piano playing, which I found to be a bit much, overall, an...

Anyone know of a satisfying recorded version of this concerto? I offer as one to avoid at all costs Van Cliburn with a "Symphony Orchestra" under the direction of Kiril Kondrashin, RCA LM-2252. Which "Symphony Orchestra"? RCA does not care to say,...

Come on people, you took it in all wrong way. All that I need at my site is the debate what a penetrator is! The point that I made was that this “public” sex with that boy was the most exciting thing Pletnev did during the last good 15-20 years. Even...

yeah, Argerich and Abbado have a certain chemistry together ... I think they go way back, if I'm not mistaken they went to school together ... and I think Abbado did study the piano there as well.
Gergiev??? I enjoy his interpretations. To me ...

It is a famous work and there are many recordings. I am not very intimate with Dvorak’s Piano Quintets I think I hear it a few times but did not dig deeper. Still, since it is popular chamber music then get your favorite string quartet and they most ...

Haralanov, You might not be familiar with it but it is very typical for many Russians audio practitioners. You will find many Russians who absolutely obsessed with one single, in most cases absolutely artificial, aspect of their playback. However, th...

Paul, I can’t say anything about it and I invest zero trust to what the seller say. The fact that he insists that “customers have never returned any or complained of their quality” does makes me horny however. The socket at your picture does have nam...

I would like to expense a bit on my post above. If we presume that a warmed up, hot magnet (electromagnet) radiate a magnetic field of different type and those “hot filed” have some kind of positive effect to sound then there is a possibility of mode...

Haralanov, it had to say, I think it would be all depends how he use that MF driver. Do not forget that this MF driver, I still insist to call it Lowther has very extended HF. That is different type of HF that is coming from “cigarette filter paper”....
