Amir,You can try to connect Toslink cable to your MacBook headphone jack, if your model supports this. In my case, it made a huge difference vs the USB interface. And then you can compare it to Toslink output from your CEC. Unfortunately, different s...

Stitch, It would be great if you are able to confirm that the quality of these CDs is the same as of original CDs sold separately.Recently, I purchased two box sets from Harmonia Mundi:1) Andrew Manze: The Art of the Violin 2) HANDEL: Oratorios - Mes...

I like the mentioned performances by K.Richter and N.Harnouncourt, however my current favorite is by Masaaki Suzuki.In contrast to Romy, I find the playing by Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment as the most boring, sorry, I don't get it. ...

built better audio or learn to develop more sensitive perception and

playback reproduce imitation of music or our awareness marks it

sound but is any difference between live and reproduced Music?I would use 'Messages' instead...

Romy,You say that the digital read from your transport is better than the multiple reads of CD-Rom with EAC software?Thats interesting!!! It means that it is better to read once in a 'good' way than ten times to read garbage and average it.So, all th...

Hi,I'm thinking to put up a PC to just play audio files (I'm not interesting in any kind of recording).From the previous discussions it seems that a good digital interface can be Lynx AES 16.My first question is about quality. Considering...

Angelo,I don't think there are different recordings (to please different tastes) of the same performance. What we gonna do about that?If somebody likes "opera audio" (I've never heard about this company) can be just a symptom. Many other well correla...

Yes, but there are many female musicians in any orchestra, even soloists there aren't a few.
Still, there is something different in conducting.
But may be you are right, if we look at the general percentage of male/female in art, and considerin...

May be with some rare exceptions, why there is such dominance of male conductors?
Is being a conductor as being a primer minister or a president where mostly man find themselves amused?

For those who can't get those old disks, I would suggest the Tone Poems
by Strauss (Ein Heldenleben, Don Juan, Till Eulenspiegel) conducted by
Clemens Krauss and Willem Mengelberg:

Mr. Norwitz tries to depart from one illusion going into other. I’m left unconvinced that his method “comparison by contrast” does lead us to accurate sound. More or less it sounds the same as improving the frequency range: more contrast leads to m...

Guy,
Then why do we use language to communicate?
I think, in order to go deeper to appreciate any cultural context a systematic approach will help. Development of a proper language is just a good starting point, though the goal is not the languag...

Romy,
I was picky about the word "generate", since it means that a playback creates
some sort of semantics. I would say that a "serious playback" may open new
possibilities for a listener to use a higher order semantics, but those
semantics are...

I think the "audiophile jargon" is mostly used to describe the SOUND related
PROBLEMS. I can't recall any audiophile term to describe musical characters
besides a "musical sound".
I've only heard three home-made set-ups where all SOUND related t...

Let me understand what is the problem. You say that a copied disk to Masterlink
HD sounds OK, right? So, why do you believe that CD-R is capable to store and
reproduce music at the level of original CD or Masterlink HD? Do you have at

Hi Romy,
Have you ever heard any burned CD-R that wasn't disappointing on YOUR
transport? My impression is that all this "CD-R talk" is very dependent on
particular CD transport used for playing. Certainly there are other factors like CD-R...
