| What are you listening to right now? SRV "Tin Pan Alley" | |
| Best player for Spotify gdnrbob- you have a killer combo there. The BS Node and the Ayer Codex must sound fantastic. For the OP, yeah that would work great for Spotify but Tidal or any other streaming service that allows for hi-res music will sound stunning out of gdnrbo... | |
| High-Resolution Audio (Battle of the Sound). What say you? Yeah I like Tidal but it is currently without a CEO and Jay Z (and many other pop artists) being majority stake holder with Sprint (I think?) he really places his music front and center. Like erik_squires stated, the variety is there in the catalo... | |
| System Upgrade Recommendations I had to make a similar choice some years back and decided I liked to listen to music much more than building a Home Theater.Here is just one idea, of many, you could entertain. Sell your ML speakers and keep your Marantz SR6010 if you really like... | |
| Crazy to buy a 17 year old CD Player? Even though I like both of my CD players, I agree with many here, like zagoreos and anzaanimalclinic, CD players have moving parts, power supplies and other parts that can age, create noise, and are not simple devices like a spinning HDD and memor... | |
| Apple Airport Express and Cambridge Audio DAC issue I hesitate to say this but I think my experience might be useful. I have had many Apple products. IMACs, Ipods, 4 MacBook Pros and an Ipad. But the Airports have been a huge problem. I had three and an Express. They last about 1 year, and I had re... | |
| Standmount speakers with Line Magnetic 518 SET amp? Without knowing your budget, the DeVores are a good choice. I think the Orangutan O/96 is a good match for the LM Audio. I also think, if you have a small room the Vandersteen Treo, 3a or even 2ce Sig II would sound great. I have the Sig II but if... | |
| Integrated amp recommendation for B&W 805 D3 (Peachtree, Parasound, Hegel, Schiit?) Parasound.... no doubt. | |
| Where were your audio components designed/engineered? rsfphil -you are right, I stand corrected, Parasound is based in San Fran, CA, USA!!2psyopBTW hey what kind gear do you have?? | |
| walter becker Rest in Peace That is sad news. SD made some great, smart, musical songs. A very cool sound, by some talented muscians and songwriters. I'll be spinning some of their music. RIP Mr. Becker. | |
| Speaker Recommendations for Audio-Research VT80 I would look at speakers with powered low freq drivers. I would audition the Vandersteen Quatro CT and the Legacy Aeris. | |
| Tech That Flopped! I think mass market appeal in technology and success is not always an indication of quality or even good sound. Magnepan comes to mind. Planar speakers are not mass market success products but they have held their own for many years and to many pe... | |
| Crazy to buy a 17 year old CD Player? Creekp43 - that is a great bit of advice. Sony makes tremendous CD players that are built like tanks. That XA5400ES is a fav among CD spinners. I have an older XA20ES that I use as a transport for a newer DAC. The player is great and weighs about ... | |
| Audiocircle forum gone to the dogs? Even though this was posted 12 years ago the comment still applies today, even more so.I used to go to audiocircle forums all the time until I had a very bad experience with a vendor who is a sponsor there and has his own forum. Long story short, ... | |
| Wine, audio, and music. How many of us Aphiles enjoy wine when listening to music? Great thread. I only drink one kind of alcoholic beverage, occasionally, when I listen to my stereo rig...Guineness Stout.https://www.google.com/search?q=guineness+stout&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=sa...: |
