I’m breaking in a new subwoofer so playing lots of jazz albums that I’m familiar with to convince myself it was worth the expense. I never have been much of a subwoofer guy, although I did find an inexpensive Jami S808 helped with my ELAC Debut 6.2 bookshelf speakers. When I upgraded my speakers to Zu DWs a couple months ago, I thought the 35 Hz bottom would be enough. But then the SVS SB-100 PRO came out last week, and I justified that I could always use it with the home theater system. I think I have the placement and crossover set, and I am noticing more depth in the soundstage and better low end. |
Dark, Dark, Dark - Bright, Bright, Bright

Early morning listening due to an Audiophiliac recommendation list and a new subwoofer. Great alt country album! Great sound quality! Well worth the listen.

Listening to some Grey Reverend this beautiful sunny morning as background music while finishing a book. Nice mellow acoustic folk, reminiscent of early Ron Sexsmith. All on Qobuz.

i was talking to an old friend about music and East Nashville and John Prine, and he asks me if I had ever heard of Todd Snider. I admit I hadn’t and he recommended this album. Loving it! Such a great entertainer, and the sound quality is outstanding.

Searched for O’Neil Devost on a whim. My grandparents music I used to listen to with them when I was a kid in Maine. Good old-fashioned French-Canadian country. Can’t believe I found two of his albums (although not my favorite song Mon Prisonnier). |

My cousin texted me about this band called Igorrr. Yes 3 Rs. There's another Igorr 2rs, different band. They are pretty sweet and pretty good recording. Think Symphony/Prog/acoustic metal, with a little death metal growl in there for good measure at times. Seriously they are all over the map. Check out Camel Dancefloor sounds awesome on a good system. Bass player is a dynamo. It's batshit crazy but I kinda like it. |

I came across a Grateful Dead concert at the University of Maine from April 19, 1983 on Archive.org. It blew me away when I found it. My first Grateful Dead concert! I was a student at UM Orono, volunteering with the Student Entertainment and Activities office. I got to work security 😳 using a new-fangled UV-light scanner to find counterfeit tickets (found more than a few). Anyway, listening to the concert now, and I’m having flashbacks. |
