Thirty three and a third.

I'll have to revisit that one (I have the set.).

That's good. I don't, but had a Mendelssohn evening anyway. Probably being thick but find numbering of his string quartets confusing. I took pot luck with the Orford SQ who I think are Canadian.



Followed this with a classic recording - Mendelssohn in Scotland.

Bax: Legend-Sonata for cello and piano.

Florence Hooton - cello.
Wilfred Parry - piano.

A second issue too, Jeffrey.

[Irons]

One of the strangest Supraphon issues I have come across.



Henry Eccles: Sonata in G minor.
Britten: Lacrymae.
Rebecca Clarke: Sonata.

The Clarke piece which I listened to yesterday is very good. RVW an obvious influence.
Josef Kodousek, violist, a member of the original Vlach SQ.

I am very impressed by the work of Emile Berliner Studios on this Mahler 5 with BP and HvK.

Here's a tech sales pitch video of what they do to these old 4 track tapes compared to what was done back in the days:

So far I've received two of these new audiophile releases. More on the way.

Glorious mono!

Glorious mono!

Yes, but how does it measure?

[Valentino]

Three times better because it has three engines!
I'm always amused by these in-room recordings of hifi, or rather of people making sonic assesments based on such.

[Irons]

I want to get myself a head dress like that fella wore for cartridge installation.  

[AnotherSpin]

Yes, but how does it measure?

It is impossible to measure audio quality.

[Valentino]

Please go to the impossible thread with that.

If you strain a little, you can see that my remark was in response to a question. Perhaps your complaint is misdirected?

I suspect that @Irons "question" was meant sarcastically and in response to all of the recent and rather caustic debate [which is why that discussion was moved elsewhere]. 

Best wishes,

And yet. Every question implies an answer. Don't like the answers, don't ask questions.

Couldn't care less, Another Spin. But a rhetorical question does not require an answer. Just so you know.

That the question was rhetorical is not obvious. Next time make a note so that no one bothers to reply.

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

What is the sound of one hand clapping?

How many roads must a man walk down before you can all him a man?
