Good question. I bet he would get some 20 amp plugs. It is odd it isn’t an option though. All mine are 15 amp.
|
Brian,
I was almost ready to go for some of Danny's cords but he didn't offer 20 amp IEC, so I went with Noteworthy Audio. He may now.

@slaw
Yep Steve. My first foray into more expensive power cords. After much deliberation, I decided to go with GR Reasearch B16’s. Knowing Danny creates bargain price products of very good quality, I jumped on his offerings. Really quite a good deal for 2 4’ and 1 6’ length. I can see ordering a couple more for the DAC and CD transport.
Danny says 200 hours break-in, but right off the bat are more detailed and revealing, thus more ‘air’ in the presentation. I know that Szell album well, and although it’s an incredible recording, is a bit ‘soft’ overall. Played the album an hour before these arrived, and then after, and yea, it’s noticeable in a good way. Will be interesting to see how things change during break-in.

Hey Brian,
Did you go with all, one brand?

Brian, answer to your question. I sent the final check just a few days ago. The speakers are just about completed and are scheduled to ship later next week. I assume about a week of shipping time so I should receive them around July 15th or so. This has been an exceptionally long order due to Lou Hinkley (owner of Daedalus Audio) taking on the challenge of promoting the upcoming Pacific Audio Fest, scheduled for the end of July. I think that probably cost me an additional 2 months on this order. Oh well, at least I have had a good set of speakers during this entire time. I'll be shipping my current speakers to TMR (The Music Room, in Colorado) on a consignment sales agreement. That should get me a solid sales price, even after their fees, and no hassles on my part.
I am really looking forward to the new speakers. Thank you for inquiring and having me on your mind.

@slaw, @bslon, i also like kurt vile alot, particularly earlier stuff like "smoke ring" and "pretty daze"--he sounds like he smokes too much weed, but the guy is a natural. the country ep he did w/john prine (rip), "speed, sound, lonely" is alsosurprisingly great. for some reason, though, i can't get into war on drugs, who everybody else seems to rave about--too clean and soulless.
@waltersalas, good to find another windbreakers fan (there's about 12 of us). check out bobby sutliff's covers album, allsorts--he does a killer nick drake.

She said he was "quirky" and she liked it

I’m also a War On Drugs fan, especially their last 3 albums and I’ve streamed KV’s earlier stuff, including w/Courtney Barnett. I think he’s now at a higher level. What’d your sister think?
|
Bill,
I have "Walkin' on a Pretty Daze" which sounds like the description you mentioned above . I love War on Drugs. His album with Courtney Barnett is really good. They compliment each other well.
|
Steve, his music is a kind of dreamy, hypnotic, psychedelic pop that sometimes has a hint of War On Drugs—which KV was a founder of and a buddy of Adam G.
Some of the instrumentation is oddly creative, I mean that in the positive. The SQ is very good. I can easily sit and listen straight through all 4 sides which is what I did today, it’s that engaging to me.
I’d be surprised if your sister was in any way disappointed in the show, at least as much as I was to be unable to attend his PDX performance here last month.
