I like them all; I'd have to go through my collection and compare some examples to each other to pick favorites. It's fairly hard to go wrong with classical production (at least since the 50's) imo.

Lol, yea I find Marriner kinda middling. But I do like the sound of those old 80's Philips (and similar brands like Denon, Teldec, CBS, Sony, etc) classical CDs, but can see how others wouldn't. Love that whole album! Remember the two hits on it from my childhood. Lol, thanks! I truly hate...

Dude...that looks rad! :sunglasses: Right up one of alleys; going to check it out. Welcome to Head-Fi and the thread btw! :wave: Breaking with my regular listening due to being in the mood for something kind of different: EDIT: And another.

Hello, frkasper; welcome to the Head-fi and the thread. :wave: I truly hate to do this, but I don't think it'd be fair to user HWB3 if I didn't since I just admonished him for the same thing: could you please limit your music posts per day in the thread per the thread rules I mentioned here...

Welcome! Just so you (and others) know. :slight_smile: Use the tag "1 post every 24 hours only" and the text in the first post of this thread : "To keep things organized, please do not spam the thread with repeated posts - let's keep it to a few posts in a day at most." as guidelines. I look...

Hi HWB3: liking a lot of your music, but just so you know, since I think you're new here, you're only supposed to post one (or maybe a couple at most) music post per day (24 hours). Otherwise it's like spamming the thread with...yourself (or myself, or anyone else). I think this is at least your...

I've only listened to that one 3 times now, but yea, it's a good one!

^ Mostly out of my comfort zone genre defying music recommended by a friend. It didn't really work for me. Interesting though.

Oh, that looks interesting Bob! Putting it on my list. Thanks!

Oh yes, one of my favorite conductors, and that set does contain some of his output! :thumbsup: That's true! I mean, besides my very very favorite bands/groups/artists, I often haven't even listened to the entire output of those I really like! (Like Miles Davis for instance). All we can do...

^ This is part of this great series. Even if you fully come down on one side or the other, it's important to read trenchant, well-reasoned criticism of your positions so you don't become too ossified or dogmatic in your thinking on issues of great import. I have read two other volumes: 1 and 2...

I stated that I've tried media organizers (including Media Monkey, Music Bee, JRiver, Roon and others) in the past. Some for weeks. Didn't care for them. I've noted in brief why, but I hardly need to justify my judgments or choices, nor is this the place for an extended explication on such...

Not difficult, just superfluous, annoying. For me it just complicates things (and then there's the program bugs). So, unneeded. 🤷‍♂️ I've got somewhere over 10k albums (granted, many of those are multiple copies of the same album) and that's kind of how I am: I always remember my "main stuff"...

I gave up years ago lol. I always say I'll get around to organizing everything well one day, but never do. It's enough to keep up with finding/buying and ripping CDs. I've tried music managers, even Roon, but don't like them (I'm not into tagging music, and certainly not auto-tagging, for one...

Wow...he's on so many of my favorite ECM albums. Sad to hear.
