    Classical Music Inquiry

    Hello AudioKarma Enthusiasts, I’ll start by saying I know absolutely nothing about classical music with the exception of a few famous names of the genre. I won’t bore you by rattling off the short list of names, so let’s get right down to the question. I’m looking to find a few classical...

    Classical music listening: What (if anything) makes it different?

    I read and enjoy a lot of Audiokarma, and learn a lot about areas of music and technology that I haven’t experienced. But I listen mostly to classical music, and was wondering if classical music listeners have requirements for their systems that are different from the mainstream? For example...

    How much tolerance do you have for distortion in digital audio?

    I was listening to a CD rip of a Vivaldi choral work when I heard horrible crackling distortion in the right channel when the sopranos would sing high notes.

    I want to get into Classical music. Where do I start?

    I've heard some beautiful Classical music recently (for example and from another thread: Duetto in D Major: I. Allegro" by Rolf Döhler). I've also been a fan of Debussy. So, I'd like to start exploring Classical, just not sure where to start. I don't own any, but I'm open to picking up some...

    Hi all, new to the forum... I recently threw together a new setup, a carver c-4000 into a carver m1.5t (1200w RMS) into some 80's Snell series III type a speakers. I listen to a lot of classical music, and today was listening to Stravinsky's Rite of Spring. (volume on around 5/12 on power amp)...
