| "Transferred from original analogue master tapes" @sbank Good catch. I keep forgetting that they mix cd w/ vinyl reviews.SJ & the Dap Kings have been on my buy list but I keep forgetting to buy.. Merry Christmas | |
| "Transferred from original analogue master tapes" I suggest you read the reviews here. First 2 speak of "substandard" sound. I also like funk. I also like R&B from the 60's & early 70's. But Phil Spector's Wall of sound prohibits it from sounding good. Oh well. I may peruse that site to ... | |
| Changes in DAC Presentation - Need Advice +1 @lordmelton Break in period can be "interesting" to say the least. My tube amp was so bad at time I just had to leave the room cause I couldn't stand the sound. I would think the Dac would be as bad but it will be noticeable. OTOH, it "might... | |
| OK-- I think I get it, now... You u want to chase away the magic you have for the magic you don’t This is an excellent idea full of wisdom. The new found pleasure can become an addiction. In the pursuit of more excellent sound, it’s easy to want to upgrade which can be as m... | |
| Struggling to spend 13k with three dealers Sorry to say it but I suspect this has or will become the new norm for shopping. FWIW I'm sure glad to be retired. The present environment is ridiculous and getting worse for the business & the consumer. Plus you have the Christmas holidays w... | |
| How long do you or should you keep your gear. then you have the propensity of hunger, they loved to eat tapes, a form of self-canibalism now that I think about it That is the attribute I mostly think of when 8 track is mentioned. I got pretty good at splicing them using scotch tape. Alw... | |
| How long do you or should you keep your gear. I have my Harmon Kardon 730 which i bought in 1978. My speakers have been with me 20 yrs. But the article talks about advertising pointed at us to make us uncomfortable with last years model. Nothing new at all. The Stones had a major hit in the m... | |
| $1,500 phono upgrade worth it? What I can't figure out is the noticeable hum when I turn on the stage with nothing playing I agree with @ghdprentice. The phono pre is very important and one at 3 times the cost of the present one will be a big upgrade IMO. However, if you hav... | |
| What Recordings Of Yours Did Not Age Well? All my Zeppelin & Sabbath for sure along with Grand Funk and a few others. Totally worn out from play with the cheap record players I had as a youngin. Fortunately I have new ones now | |
| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption Only he who has spirit ought to have possessions: What is his definition of spirit? The reason for the question is because his statement seems rather odd to me. As I understand, we are all spirit beings. And, if so, then we all "ought to have ... | |
| Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption I thoroughly enjoy philosophy & Theology. But I absolutely hate to read philosophers/theologians interpretation of them because they so often write a full page about something which could have been written more simply & understandable in ... | |
| Putting listening ability to rest - privately Best done without any headphones or highly resolving speakers for those who don’t want an ego boost with aural prosthetics, and like their truth served straight up ; ) - best listened to on just your computer built-ins. Sure. I'll even use t... | |
| Merry Christmas from the family! I first learned of Robert Earl Keene through a song he wrote that I have on a Joe Ely CD. That song "The Road Goes On Forever (& The Party Never Ends) is quite profound IMO. The OP song is typical country....some may call it outlaw country. A... | |
| The Boss is the Bo$$ i never understood the allurement of Bruce.And I certainly disagree that he saved R&R. I remember hearing him when he 1st came out. OK at best IMO. Buying vinyl in lots back in the early 00's I acquired several of his. I've tried to listen bu... | |
| RIP oregonpapa Wow! I was just getting ready to message Frank ( oregonpapa) and saw this thread when my tablet screen lit up. He had left a message about something I had posted. But he left his comment on my system page. Considering the comments, this is somewha... |
