Discussion: Beethoven: String Quartets Op. 18 No. 6, Op. 59 No. 1 - Quartetto Italiano
August 11, 2008
Although myself a follower of the famous Dr Jimbob (who, when he is not curing the sick or expatiating on the treasures of the gramophone, is sometimes to be heard performing the art song repertoire), I've always thought he overstated the case against the Italianos. Sure, there may be a few recordings I like even more than theirs, but none of those ... more

Possible SACD defect? Mahler 9 MTT
May 27, 2008
Just checked my copy, and I think I see the problem you're referring to. I've noticed a similar problem with some of my Bob Dylan SACDs, Blood on the Tracks being one. It hasn't caused any problems so far with playback (on a Marantz SA8001). I'm going to leave it alone, not pick at it, and hope for the best. But see also this thread: ... more
