| Pre amps cost vs. value ... what I discovered last month. Ah...on 06.09.18 at 5:11pm OP hammers the nail directly on its head. IMO this is a great post on SR and its relationship to what we hear. | |
| If You Like Funk: Check Out Vulfpeck @frogman Wow! Thanks for the great link. The drumming is fantastic. Denard was in the pocket (ala Steve Jordan) for more than 5 minutes before "Gonna give it the drummer..." gets rolling. Skills on display. And the bass player ain't bad either. @m... | |
| Music Server Recommendation I own the Antipodes DX3 and I am very satisfied with it. I agree the EX+CX is intriguing, although Antipodes keeps changing the top of the line up, which can be a bit frustrating. The National Sales Manager is easy to deal with and straight up and... | |
| If You Like Funk: Check Out Vulfpeck @maxnewid Thanks for joining the thread and the listed recommendations. If you listen to something new, please post your thoughts on it.RegardsAl | |
| Talk but not walk? @jf47t I suggest you leave it where it stands. MG's gone and you shouldn't have to shoulder the heavy lift he left behind. Let the thread die; it is better than continuing the back and forth.RegardsAl | |
| If You Like Funk: Check Out Vulfpeck Last night I listened to Cold Blood's Sisyphus album (1970). It contains "Your Good Thing (Is About to End)", a song written by Isaac Hayes and David Porter, and made into a Top 20 Billboard hit in 1969 by Lou Rawls, although first recorded by Mab... | |
| If You Like Funk: Check Out Vulfpeck @veroguy Thanks for posting both the links and your thoughts. Welcome to the thread.@aniwolfe Thanks for contributing. | |
| Talk but not walk? Hmm...happy people, angry people and cherry pie. This is a weird thread. This thread hasn't made me happy or angry and hasn't delivered anything close to cherry pie. My summary: OP started out shooting at unnamed "talkers" that refused to be "walk... | |
| Tidal and MQA..two questions. @taww Yes, I experience the phenomena you describe. I now listen to new things on TIDAL and if I like them I buy the CD and rip it to my server. Generally (but not every time) the 16/44 from the ripped CD onto the server has better SQ than the 16/... | |
| RIP Dave Wilson +1 marktomaras I read the offending comment. It was wrong to post it. I read the apology. It was right to post it. It is the mature, appropriate thing to do after making a mistake. I wish I had done more of it in my life. I contend that two of the... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers @prof Thanks. BTW I hadn't heard the live St Louis Blues Brubeck Quartet album before. It is surprisingly well recorded for a live venue IMO.@ronkent I'm playing the Yello One Second album now. It fills up the room that's for sure. | |
| Shunyata or Synergistic for power conditioning? @hamburger I'm sorry if I missed it earlier in this thread, but could you list the components you are plugging directly into your AQ Niagra 7000 and whether or not you still have any components directly plugged into the wall (besides the power con... | |
| If You Like Funk: Check Out Vulfpeck I just finished listening to Lettuce's (2008) release called Rage!. If you like your bass front and center this is the album for you. I'm a bass fan, so it really worked for me. Although released in the last 10 years this album has a lot of the 19... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers +1 Everything But the Girl--I just listened to the first track of Amplified Heart, which @prof uses as a test track (he listed Atomic Heart but his description of the track matches Rollercoaster--the first track on Amplified Heart). It sounds grea... | |
| If You Like Funk: Check Out Vulfpeck I'm always fascinated by what Roon picks on the radio when an album finishes. I just finished playing (again) Tower of Power S/T (thanks @shadorne) and Roon selected "Vein Melter" from Herbie Hancock's HeadHunters album relating it to TOP's "Just ... |
