I'm fine with the sound quality on that Widdop/Ljunberg Wagner '78 you know? Approximating actual experience of sitting in an orchestra hall isn't truly what I'm after when I listen to recordings. Wondering now if I'm alone in this. $4K vacuum tube stereo recievers seem like a particularly uninteresting kind of madness to me, and (more obviously) conspicuous consumption. <br /><br />I think my basic feeling on the matter boils down to "if Corelli's voice still produces that stimulation akin to [omit here a reference to the unspeakable vice of the Greeks] then the sound quality is fine."Maury D'annatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14136129943169313348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3991721412361909265.post-89803986889538246162010-03-27T20:12:30.938-04:002010-03-27T20:12:30.938-04:00Aww.

There's certainly some mileage in that approach. I encouraged people to do it, because I'm interested in knowing what the results really tell us. Instead, this is what we get.<br /><br />I'll post the results on Monday. Have a nice weekend.Proper Discordhttp://www.properdiscord.comnoreply@blogger.com
