that's not a DIY project oooh, thooose people. Cannot wait for impressions. I think I may have to see if I'm highest on the totel pole to be able to request a pair of the universal 5's for demo.

any LCD-2 versus LCD-1 impressions by the HE5 > LCD-2 folk?

You must try it in context to get the joke then I guess. Basically, it's an "easy" way to play the 7th "astronomically high" note

I've known a few violinists that think that both sides of the bridge should be in tune with each other (it's kind of hard to explain, but this has to be done via bridge placement and then the sound post location sort of follows too), so this sort of joke kind of works. I'm not sure if this is urban legend or not, but I wouldn't want to go into a luthier and request this sort of setup.. I prefer much the more scientific methods, like rapping on the back with your knuckles and what not

I figured as nuch. I remember a good clarinetist also claiming some sort of magic reed tricks for playing the Gershwin opening glissando, as it was something much easier for someone used to playing jazz, and whatever setup might go along with playing jazz. I don't know much about it, but this sort of stuff is rather fascinating to me. The high school joke for violinists was to play the high E on the opening of Lalo Symphonic Espagnole on the other side of the bridge. For some reason, I still find that funny.

I guess so. So, how hard is it to hit the C# in "Flighting"?

how many counts / digits was your older meter compared to the V99?

Having played both, I'd never make such a broad claim, that was pretty much what I was getting at...

no, I'd like to open it up to everything. I haven't heard the above for example, so this thread is already serving it's purpose well. Good point about the composer's "native" instrument though...

What pieces by Bach do you consider to require exceptional individual virtuosity? I'm more referring to technical prowess than interpretation, etc. Opinions?

I'm going to come

Unfortunately, that implies that it was a bad thing that you did

My vote is for "Menace Heavy" and "Menace Wee Heavy"

you wouldn't loose them as often if you paid $1000 each for them

That was my ace-in-the-hole when Hirsch replied back and said he had indeed seen them and got all pissy and defensive..

did you actually see them? did you actually test them? Just trying to figure out if that was another lie and/or another shitty product by Mikhail.

.. and at least brings back another semi a year from Europe I'd wager

eh, what if everyone chooses me?

bought one too just now FOTM!

well-done, well-done.. mpwi:

custom stepped attenuator I think would be your best option..

ok, that was a low blow
