    ASTRONOMER: We Think We're Close To Finding Life On Another Planet

    Proof? I think that is incredibly unlikely. The problem with this is that it is really hard to categorically rule out alternative explanations, even if we haven't come up with any yet. If credible observations are made of possible life or techno signatures, the next 10 or 20 years will probably...

    What are you currently listening to (Classical)?

    The Brahms violin sonatas have a tendency to become too gooey and sentimental for my tastes, but Ilya Grubert and Elena Cherny here on RCA handle them with just that touch of coolness which becomes them well.

    What are you currently listening to (Classical)?

    Poulenc - I'm with you there. To my ears an incongruous mixture of the interesting and the irritating! And that is a mighty fine album of Mozart's string quartets.

    What are you currently listening to (Classical)?

    Piano trios by Johann Denninger on cpo. Pleasantly upbeat and entertaining, good sound quality, too.

    * NAD M33 Integeated Amp"Is it too good?"

    My own experiences and preferences with quite a few midline DACs is that the newer, very much better specced DACs just don't provide what I want as musical entertainment. I feel I could plot a straight-line graph of musical satisfaction decreasing as the spec improved! For a while I was happy...

    Another oldie but goldie. Karl Richter's Brandenburg Concertos with the Munich Bach Orchestra. The trumpet playing in number 2 is quite astonishing.

    You're right! This is absolutely delightful. Gorgeous performance and sound. Handel's organ concerti - Haselbock.

    What are you currently listening to (Classical)?

    More Kleiberg loveliness - his Mass for Modern Man. There's something Vaughan Williams-y about this piece. That's a very strong positive for me!

    Matching Pre-amps and Amps: Same Brand or Not?

    I prefer a mix&match approach. My ears tell me that manufacturers usually have a distinctive 'house sound' (that can sometimes vary slowly with time). I have found that with multiple components this distinctive sonic signature tends to multiply up, and what is an enjoyable sweetness in the...
