Oh, Hi MusicHeaven,
Nice to hear from you again. If what you mean by a wallet-emptier, would you, by any chance, be referring to the Astell-Kern 240? I looked at the pics of that one with its very impressive body and amazing sq but could not believe the price...almost $2500!!!
If it was say, around the price of the HiFiMan 802 or 901, I would consider buying it, BUT! WhoaHoahhh! Yikes.
I also tried my hand at the violin in high school. My "home room" was orchestra b/c I got to play in it, even upon my graduation, receiving my diploma in my left hand with violin and bow in my right. For the graduation music, we played Mendelssohn"s Wedding Day at Traufhogen, believe it or not ( hope I got the spelling right) while the diplomas were presented. Those of us graduating of course left our orchestra seat to retrieve our diplomas, after which we had to rush back to our seats to continue to play, lol.
Speaking of the bow...when I first met Charlie Mingus at the Engage (with accent egue over the last e) Cafe, he had with him a large and long leather case with him and ... knowing he played the Bass, I asked him if what was in his case was a bow for his bass, he then answered: No, that is the bow for my bow and arrow set. And making sure I wasn't thinking he was kidding me, he was such a kidder, you know, he actually opened up the case and inside, was a bow and arrow set, honest to God!
Is that Beethoven Symphony collection conducted by Von Karajan, by any chance?
After graduating high school back in '64 I did not continue to play violin but am now contemplating the synthesizer (as a composer's tool, mind you).
I hope we are not getting too much off subject, and if we are, Ripvanlink does apologize.
I'm so small that I need American size 28 pants tailored down to fit me--that's why I'm stuck with overpriced, European designed apparel![]()
By M8, I meant CEntrance M8, a fairly new transportable DAC/AMP with MFI certification. I am, unfortunately, saddled with an iPhone 5 until September--the new HTC One does look to be a killer phone!
Though I seriously considered purchasing an AK240 at the $500 off meet price before I actually listened to it, such thoughts evaporated as soon as I was able to sneak an X5 over for comparison (well, I didn't need to sneak it from TekFX, but I did need to make sure that the AK rep didn't see me comparing the two). With the HD800, it was a complete toss-up. Neither had enough juice to make it sing, and I couldn't tell apart detail levels or soundstage. Both did have the muscle to push around my T70, but...uh...due to...let's say...uh..."meet conditions," I couldn't give either player a plus in any way. It was only when I used Noble Audio's flagship universal that I was able to hear the AK240's barely deeper soundstage.
Like any other human who indulges his depression with...depressing music, I always find myself crying, or, at the very least, tearing by the end of the fifth movement (Adagio) of Mahler's symphony #5.
Uh oh, I spelled it wrong and the composer, it's Troldhaugen, and the composer is Edvard Grieg. It's been a while, heh heh. It's a great, rousing march from a great 19th Century composer.
Must have been amazing mine was not as grandiose unfortunately and it was a recording but classical it was, graduations have always been done with classical music in the background.
You are right about the conductor, Karajan was Berlin's best.
My favorite symphony:
Ode an die Freude - Ninth Symphony
Bernstein with the Vienna Philarmonic was the one recording I played just too many times.
The reason why I was so attached to the ninth symphony was the fact the Beethoven composed it and played it when he was entirely deaf, an amazing maestro and a never equalled musical genius.
Sorry back to the X5. That dap you mentioned was one I considered except for the price.![]()
I think that the Calyx M is the one for the classical music lover but don't quote me on that and James might not agree. Once FiiO creates the X7, I think you will be in for a possible amazing classical music experience.
Yes, that story about Beethoven's deafness is very famous indeed. What amazes me is how German, often felt as a bit harsh to the ear when spoken, although I love to hear it spoken, is so lovely in song, such as Beethoven, Schubert and Mahler. I know that 9th chorale as "Ode to Joy.'
