| Favourite Guitarists So many mentioned, many I want to explore now. A couple more to throw out, who couldn't be more different. First is Buckethead. Hard to put in a genre but most known for possibly "fastest" guitarist, appears alot with like of Claypool and Inc... | |
| Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon? Glad I found this thread. Planning my entry into digital myself. My son works at a company that employs a team of very bright technical folks in Kyiv. Besides occasional blackouts too they have been productive throughout this whole ordeal. To... | |
| Innuos PULSE Mini? @soix and @charles1dad I'm following this discussion closely. Both the rip or not rip, and the entry level or the next step up question. What do you think about the minis in either line with the added LPS in lieu of the pricier step ups? The Ze... | |
| I have found out why new cables and tweaks actually work! Well done Erik! I also know for a fact my cars always accelerate better and get about 2 mpg more after a good wash and wax. Especially the new ceramic products. The SiO2 molecules are apparently aero-phobic. I saw it on a website somewhere. I... | |
| If there was only ONE album/cd/release you can listen to, over and over............. @fred60 +1 As a Prog guy an inclination would be to pick The Yes Album or DSOTM but the 'Lamb is just more of a total journey IMHO. Decided this question in college. Same answer today but loads more coming close. | |
| 2.1 Stereo System for TV Listening @flyfish77 , is there a speaker switch you found of quality, that you can recommend? I want to slip an older amp in my 5.1 setup (dislike it's 2 ch sound) to listen to 2ch in same room. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Boondocking in AZ so it's either mp3 files or Pandora on my phone via Bose speaker, lol. When I get back it'll be Tab Benoit. Either Medicine or Fever For the Bayou. Excellent guitar, old school tube amps, "live" studio recordings, Telarc CDs. | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? Thanks all for not letting this devolve! The concensus seems to be pointing to "desirable" noise and/or distortions such as even harmonics, cross talk, phasing etc creating (or the illusion of) a difference, preferred or not . Im thinking of all ... | |
| SUT - electrical theory and practical experience I ask this question strictly for my own education and interest in this thread from a science point of view. I have no opinion. Having taken college level physics I understand the principal, windings, etc. As far as audio SQ though, would it b... | |
| Maybe this is the winter you build something! @tim_p, as someone who lives in Alaska, you and @larsman aren't too far off from that reality. She's a long cold one here, ol' winter. | |
| Maybe this is the winter you build something! Erik, I love the encouragement and enthusiasm. So I've done the things I'm comfortable with or need. Equipment rack furniture, speaker cables and ICs. But I could be nudged to go outside my comfort zone for an electronic piece. Don't need it b... | |
| Is blasphemous Music ok? @tylermunns, agreed. But zero death and destruction with billions of people on the planet is never gonna happen. I'm responding to the use of the superlative word "worst". It's a clearly biased point that uses that word, and that trope. And de... | |
| Is blasphemous Music ok? Religion as worst thing ever? Some numbers. China Moa 60 million dead. Russia Stalin, 14 million. Cambodia Pol Pot 7 million. That's the medal podium and just the 20th century, just internal civil wars over a secular principal. I'm seeing a ... | |
| Is blasphemous Music ok? And I thought the OP was thinking of artists like Dred Zeppelin. Actually, they are quite the musicians! The real Zep' members were quite complimentary of their covers. Sorry to interrupt. | |
| How Audiphiles are Different Some excellent points being made. Agree with points of OP. I think an important take away is that even expert advice may not be suitable for anyone else except those that "hear" like they do. Unless the two parties know each others' style of li... |
