@thechops
welcome to the thread. Hope you’ll keep posting.
looks like you we’re getting set up about a year ago with a very nice rig. How’s it treating you now?

George Duke - Master of the Game
|
Last night was a Diet Dr. Pepper & Rum night, listening to all Pink Floyd's Early stuff. Echoes, Atom Heart Mother, Wish You Were Here, Then I shifted gears & played Three Dog Night's (Seven Separate Fools). Not a bad song on either side.
|
Jangly goodness! Any fans of Big Star, REM and the like need to listen to the DBs. An under-appreciated influential band. Holsapple & Stamey's later live shows are also great (hint to Pirates).

A favorite Dead record, ++ SQ and interesting back story on the album cover—was it Ugly Roomers, Ugly Rumors, or ??

Tom, right now through Tidal. I’m listening on the highest SQ setting. Listening through some Audioengine HD4 speakers. I could easily tell the SQ difference through the Astell & Kerns sr25 II on my Grado 1000e. The AK has a nice dac whereas my speakers are powered with no DAC. So a high quality DAC I can tell is very important. The Audioengines are very intoxicating with wide/deep soundstage. They need a little more detail and extension that a good DAC should provide. I have a iFi NEO iDSD on order to try. With Amazon, trying few, if need be, will be fun.
The sound so far is highly enjoyable. I’m not married to these speakers yet. Want to experience what a DAC will do.

Steve, for me, "Discovery" is the most compelling reason for streaming. I hope your bank account survives all your "discoveries"!
So, how are you streaming? What hardware and what streaming service(s)?
|
Had to hear some Isbell......."Reunions"!!

In my short time streaming, I've heard some really good, new to me music/artists. Just ordered a few lps by Joshua Hyslop and Jeremy Ivey.

Good time with our music club last night. The guys enjoyed Lady Blackbird. Still one of my favorite releases of the last few months.
One of the guys brought Kari Kirkland's Wild is the Wind. If you like female jazz vocals, check it out. She doesn't have the most unique voice, but it's a really well produced album and she does a cool cover of Do It Again that I really like.

Rita Marley-Who Feels It Knows It Side B
Janie Fricke-It Ain’t Easy-Side 1
Eagles-Long Run Side 1
Herbie Hancock-Perfect Machine Side 2 SQ Audiophile
Ruth Price-With Shelly Manne..(Contemporary S7590).Side 1 SQ*
Bob Seger-Beautiful Loser Side 2
Fathers & Sons(CBS FC 37972) Side 2 SQ Audiophile
Eric Clapton-August Side 2
Perfect Machine is a reference level recording regarding SQ. *Ruth Price is a live recording at The Mann Hole(1960) The SQ is borderline Audiophile it does have some tape hiss but the stellar performance more then makes up for this.
