Dean Martin - That's Amore.

Denon all format player Nagra tube amps Avantgarde horns = Heaven.

Dean Martin IS singing in my music room. I can almost touch him. sigh It
is moments like this that only tubes and horns can create...when everything
is just right. Nothing can replicate the dynamics in my experience...nothing
can relax like a concert experience at one's own house.

Thank you John Atkinson for carrying the torch for us enlightened ones! :-)

Dino was a nice guy, his music is smooth. I have riveted a lot of

Hi Scott,

And that is bad for bonuses. Why don't you stop in TJ on your way home....

'Mutter'

Andras Schiff playing the Mozart piano concertos with the Camerata
Academica, Salzburg, the Decca set. Currently on disc 9, nos 26 and 27,
again. I just can't let such fine music disappear back into storage.

My friend Peter Allen of the Melbourne Audio Club and other
achievements, shared wise counsel he received from a constant
audiophile: don't play any of your discs more than once a month and
play it no more than twice. To encourage self-control, I store my CDs
in flat fruit boxes, about 250 to the boxes. The boxes are stacked
eight high. It is a major musclebuilding operation to get at the box at
the bottom to take out a favourite disc, so I tend to play through a
box (not everything, just the favourites) before moving on to the next.
But I can linger over the Mozart and Bach and Handel boxes for months
each.

Must have more discipline!

C'mon Jon. That's a bit harsh.

Actually, Iain, now that I go looking for the 'missing' 4 CDs, I notice
my Schiff set is the 9CD Decca set 448 140-2 lacking concertos 1-3, 8,
10. I wos robbed! (Hey, Marie, I'll just remember you gave *my*
complete set to Iain...)

The first *complete* set of the Mozart Piano Concertos out of my boxes
is my next favourite, Jeno Jando with Concentus Hungaricus under Andras
Ligeti/Matias Antal, Naxos set in two boxes, Vol 1 8.505011 and Vol 2
8.506002.

Do you know the work of the Polish pianist Andre Tchaikowsky? He died
young but sometime in the early 1970s in a very busy festival where I
was up till the early hours every night as the host of the literary
side, I rose for his 10am (how effing uncivilized can the schedulers
get?) performance every day for a fortnight. A couple of years later I
paid Christopher Hogwood the same respect; a totally different
approach. Not many can get me out of bed before noon...

YIKES!

Why?

Do the bits go stale? This is a digitally encoded stamped (OK, pressed,
but at the speed with which they are made, stamped describes it better)
medium, covered in hard plastic, and played by a method that does not
physically touch the encoded information. Unless one is dealing with a
pretty wretched CD transport, and/or filthy handling habits, there is
no theoretical limit to how many times they can be played within a
given period.... and if they do wear out (which is starting to happen
with some of the earliest-made discs), the failure is
materials-related, not use-related.

Someone has GOT to be kidding, likely the same person that passed the
rumor that a green magic marker (or was it blue) makes CDs sound
better... And on the outer rim for crissakes... when they program and
play from the center out, and last I heard of a specific brand!

Why/how does stuff like this get started, and who believes it when it
does, and why? Does some joker have a hot-flash in the middle of a
lonely night and decide how -he- will roil the audiophool world this
time?

Lemme see, in the last several months:

Little towers for raising speaker wire.
Cryogenically treated _____ (tubes, receptacles, interconnects, even
wooden speaker pads)
Full-range single drivers. Define "full" and "range".
Orienting components to the magnetic field.
Orienting components to True North.
Orienting components to Magnetic fields generated in the listening
room.

I do know that vinyl is not at all happy with repeated and
close-in-time playings, if one calculates the force of the stylus in
the groove, figuring 1gm over ~0.005" by 0.00015" as an elipse, bearing
on the vinyl across an area of about 0.00015 x 0.004 x 2 comes to some
1860 pounds per square inch, for round figures. And in this case we
have a diamond (pretty hard) impacting on plastic anywhere from 20 to
20,000 times per second in a grove moving at an average of 12 inches
per second, more or less. Some heat is generated. The diamond is just
fine with the heat, it's seen worse. The vinyl is not, if repeatedly
abused.

But, guys and gals, the laser does not touch the substrate. And the
heating/cooling issues are substantially different as are the
degrade-results.

Or am I completely missing something? Remember, we Americans have NO
sense of humor.

Start a new thread if you want to continue displaying your personal misery.

Peter, you and Signal both have the wrong end of this stick. The advice
to limit one's playing of favourite discs is not based on any possible
damage to the discs, it is to protect one's discrimination and broaden
one's culture. Out of my 6000 discs, and stretching matters a bit to
include sets or complete sets, and stretching it further to include
duplicates of sets, all counted as one disc each, the core I could not
live without is probably a hundred units or "discs". Doesn't matter if
it is two hundred. The point is that it is a small percentage of the
total. Reduced to an absurdity, I could play my box of eight test discs
over and over and feel no pain, and I could play Emma Kirkby singing
the songs of Hildegard over and over for days on end. The rule is to
stop that sort of self-indulgence. One does actually need a wider
exposure, variety and so on.

Currently playing the complete Mozart Violin Concertos by Isaac Stern.

Mpfffff... OK. Sorry for misunderstanding.

But, and as one who has lived within a _completely_ different culture
than my home (and enjoyed every bit of it until it got a bit too hot),
I find that broadening culture is an attitude from within rather than a
muscle that needs exercise. If all work is honorable, and all honestly
held beliefs demand respect, and every human has value until proven
otherwise, grasping at artificial measures is unnecessary.

When I am driving (I do, a lot as part of the job), the same 20 or so
CDs get the job done. And that they range from Emmylou Harris to
Vivaldi's Gloria to The Chieftains is no one's business but my own...
not in a selfish sense, please do not misunderstand that statement. But
in the sense that they are stimulating, demand attention (so I stay
awake) and are a 'good noise'. I put no intellectual stock in music,
much as work, all music is honorable. That I do not understand some
segments of it is as likely my failing, not necessarily a failing of
the music. That I generally prefer Mozart to Led Zeppelin has nothing
to do with education, achievement, or anything else other than what I
like and what I prefer. I am no masochist. When it comes to food,
drink, music and culture, I will try about anything once. But if I
dislike the experience, I feel no intellectual need to try it again. I
am long past the stage where I have anything to prove and pretty much
at the stage where my professional and personal reputation is made,
there being no need to make any statements, sound trumpets or put
pointers to prove anything to a stranger. That they judge by my actions
and by the results I cause, no more, is enough. There are perhaps four
people (my family) on this earth who have any actual power whatsoever
over my life and my happiness. Friends, acquaintances and colleagues
are wonderful, important, and to be cherished and/or respected
depending on where they fall in that range. But they have no real power
over me or how I choose to live. You might think about this before you
put yourself in a maze where your turnings and progress are measured by
'rules' and perceived 'protections' of your intellectual powers. If
they are so insubstantial as they need that sort of thing, NOTHING
imposed will preserve them.

Following the advice of another on how to enjoy your life is a fool's
game. Putting limits on how you live your life and make such minute
decisions as the choice of 'good noise' is terribly sad. I truly hope
that I am understanding what you said as poorly as the first time, but
if my understanding is at all accurate, it certainly explains a great
deal.

Peter Wieck
Wyncote, PA

There you go, Peter. You've misunderstood again. Nobody tells me what
to do; my god is curiosity. I share information, I offer trivia equally
with pearls of wisdom; I respect your intelligence to do with them what
you will but I don't actually care what you think until you prove
useful or entertaining. On the other hand, I don't pass moral
judgements until someone puts himself in my face and tries to prescribe
for me; I leave that sort of pointless moralizing to leftwingers and
Americans, who both seem to derive some spurious comfort of superioty
from it. -- AJ

Dean Martin - That's Amore.

Denon all format player Nagra tube amps Avantgarde horns = Heaven.

Dean Martin IS singing in my music room. I can almost touch him. sigh
It
is moments like this that only tubes and horns can create...when
everything is just right. Nothing can replicate the dynamics in my
experience...nothing can relax like a concert experience at one's own
house.

Thank you John Atkinson for carrying the torch for us enlightened ones!

Lined up on the RL trunk:

Jose Carreras - Misa Criolla
Shaggy - Mr. Lover Lover (The Best of)
Chuck Berry - The Chess Box

The Sisters of Mercy - A Slight Case of Overbombing

Sounds familiar. This Corrosion was an anthem in my youth in Boston. I think
their communism was a rather silly marketing trick. But I did like the
music.


U2 - The Joshua Tree

What's with all this top-posting ?

Have to get your words in first ?

I thought he meant don't play it too often or you may tire of it and it
will lose its appeal.

I would have thought that except for the way the stricture was stated,
and that it was given as 'received wisdom'. A rigid time period and a
rigid quantity within that period. SOoooo much like other audiophoolery
that it was almost indistinguishable.

There is enough going on in my life that from week to week I seldom
remember what I played last week and in what order. In a month... And
at work, I really need only about 10 CDs, for those few times that the
music passes from background to foreground and imprints on memory. Even
then, a clear female soprano voice singing Mozart will support
considerable repetition.

Hey! You inspired me to take down my pop box. Three discs of Roy
Orbison, currently singing The Crowd, 48 songs altogether. Oh my God,
that is genuine blue collar longing, genuine emotion, nothing fake like
The Beatles, middle class boys pretending to be working class. Next out
of the box, behind the three Orbison discs, I grabbed this handful,
which are waiting on my side table:
a Chuck Berry (1) compilation cover disc from a magazine series we
designed, Fontella Bass No Ways Tired, Nat King Cole Let's Face the
Music, The Bonzo Dog Band. My pop library is only about 250 discs,
including recorded humour and indispensable musicals and film music,
and that is a fair representation: it probably types me as an incurably
old-fashioned 1950/60s rocker/romantic, zero street cred. Watch me
worry, Dr Neumann.

I'll also look out the Songs of the Auvergne though not by Chris Rea!
Thanks for the mnemonic transference, Margaret.

This is a super thread you started.

(1) One of the great quotes of the twentieth century: "They pulled the
plug in the middle of my song. That's like pulling a man off the job."
-- Chuck Berry, explaining in two short sentences what rock'n'roll was
really about, putting all the intellectuals in their place.

Erk !!!!!

I did the sound for Viv Stanshall's band once.

Bloody lousy venue ( Student Union bar @ Trent Park IIRC ) with concrete beams in
the ceiling aiding the feedback.

It was something of a 'no-hope' gig esp. since Viv's band wanted me to mike an
upright piano in those circumstances.

Not often I've been in a situation where I'd have loved to simply walk away.
