A German composer, known for his operas, especially Lear. If you have any interest in vocal music and dare to dive into the modernist/contemporary/expressionist category, several of his works are available at Qobuz. You will be rewarded, he was a master of writing for human voice. He also appears as a pianist in many Lied albums, often with Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau.

When we talk about classical music we actually mean western art music, a term which hasn’t really caught up in most music circles. But when contemporary classical music comes to play, we understand why art music makes more sense.

That’s it. They bought a Cyan II. And soon something else. The audiophile fashions are easy to spot.

We can turn off all servers, computers, phones and tablets, and the Red still keeps playing like Lumin does? Sorry I don’t have the proper technical term for that function, but upnp isn’t it.

Red is not a ”stand alone” streamer, not comparable to Lumin. Many of us don’t want to have powerful computers or servers buzzing with complicated software in the listening room.

I wonder how many Gaia owners hear improvement/difference because their speakers now stand higher and the tweeter has been moved to optimal height. No spike and shoe combination is as tall as the Gaias, especially the big ones.

Very expensive, but very good option is Ansuz Darkz. Under the spikes.

I wondered about the same thing when I had those Solidsteel tripod stands and decided not to buy Gaias. The angle of the legs is quite severe for footers not meant to be angled at all. There are plenty of good and advanced spike shoes available.

This one even has the same dropout in track 8 as the older 16/44 version. Volume level is a little higher.

This first caught my attention https://www.qobuz.com/fi-en/album/bach-advent-cantatas-philippe-herreweghe-la-chapelle-royale-collegium-vocale-gent/x374hzwl1welb Originally released 1988, no leaflet available. Definitely was originally a DDD cd.

I wonder. Some older Harmonia Mundi recordings have been released recently as hires. DDD albums from 1988, how was the recording technology back then?

Jazz listeners are wealthy and Lumin is a mostly a high end product.

Seems I can listen to BBC radio outside UK as well, great.

For some reason none of this weeks Qobuz classical New releases show up on Lumin iOS app.
