| Schiit Freya+(Plus) I've been laying off the audio purchases, but am waiting for the Schiit Celebration 10 Year Anniversary sale. At least I hope they'll do it, they had mentioned this several months ago, but that was before Covid and the current unrest. Their B st... | |
| Schiit Freya+(Plus) Thanks for sharing your tube results, Thomas, I've been wavering on rolling tubes because I don't want to go down that rabbit hole, so to speak. I love the transparency and air of the Freya+, but have wondered about tube improvements. Another re... | |
| TOPPING D90MQA AK4499 Well, no $99 dac is the equivalent of a sports car, so I'm not quite sure what you're getting at there. It sounds like you are doing pretty well with powered monitors, and the music is what it's all about. | |
| TOPPING D90MQA AK4499 That is not accurate, they didn't use the APX555 to improve their products. They have one of the godfathers of DAC design, Mike Moffat, who started making them in the early 90's. I've owned several of their dacs, and presently own the Gungnir an... | |
| Religious music for less than devout I think I’ve got a version of that with Mavis Staples...Cliff Richard. In the late 70s we was releasing great music with a positive, moral vibe. Look up We Don’t Talk Anymore. | |
| Religious music for less than devout The mention of Kerry Livgren is fitting as he was a christian while being a member of Kansas and then with 2 or 3 solo releases after that. John Elefante became Kansas's lead singer and was there for their hits in the early 80's. Play the Game t... | |
| Schiit Freya+(Plus) Not sure if it was mentioned, but Freya+ only gets hot when in tube mode. And the main source of heat at that point is the voltage regulators, to the left of the tubes in the case. The hotness should take over an hour to develop, and it’s never ... | |
| Religious music for less than devout Waiting for a miracle is one of my favorites of his. I think he has a big catalog of releases, starting in the 70’s.I'm not sure if anyone mentioned The 77’s, Mike Roe was the front man, I think. Only a few releases, but pretty good stuff. All ... | |
| Religious music for less than devout Okay folks, let’s not drift into debates or religious arguments, this is a great thread idea. Let’s keep it real, shall we?I noticed someone else mentioned Martina Mcbride. She really has a great voice and some of her songs are spiritual for sure.... | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? I wonder how many of these threads are just trying to market Chinese knock offs? When you buy an Audioquest(or whatever brand) knock off, then that is a sale that prevents Audioquest from doing business. When enough of those illegitimate sales o... | |
| Audio reviews: too many analogies, never simple, but most of all, never clear. My but it's funny how just about any topic can get peoples' dander up. Do you get paid for your work? So do reviewers, deal with it, they are not the Great Satan. This is what you get with capitalism, it's not so bad. Learn how to read critica... | |
| Audio reviews: too many analogies, never simple, but most of all, never clear. Miller Carbon, I do believe I just learned something about journalism by reading your post. Thank you for that, it explains a lot about the current state of affairs in the poor excuse for journalism that exists today. I am sick and tired of ideo... | |
| Religious music for less than devout I saw the above mention of Jerry Lee Lewis, so I looked him up. Apparently he had a stroke in February 2019, and lost the use of his right hand. He wanted to do a gospel album after his brush with death, and it’s due for release I think, soon. ... | |
| Religious music for less than devout And in the category of Christian themes without overt lyrics, Tonio K. Another Christian busting his hump in the industry. His best were the releases Notes From the Lost Civilization, and 'Ole.An excellent lyric word smith. Check out The Execut... | |
| Religious music for less than devout Amg, you wanna see someone that knows how to make money, try Lady Gaga. Or Britney Spears in her heyday. Or Michael Jackson in his. Geez, how many kazillion albums did ABBA or ELO or the Beatles sell? Bdp, I was going to mention Buddy and Juli... |
