| Have you noticed as your system improves? Last night I went on an Allman Brothers jag. Have seen them many times. Starting out gently and choosing tracks to get progressively louder. By the time I got to Live at the Fillmore I just wanted to really crank it. Had been listening in the ... | |
| I’m confused. Please explain. Hi Ron, Relax my friend, your system is one of the best I've had the pleasure listening to. Personally I think too many in this hobby are listening to the equipment and are in constant 'judgement mode". You're in a very good enviable place..... | |
| Why I don't hear bass drums on Jazz LPs? This is the best thread I have read on this forum. Special thanks to @bdp24, I never realized there is so much to drumming. Regards, barts | |
| Qobuz Connect working Beta demonstration....yay! @jbuhl Nope. Not a mark anywhere. | |
| Qobuz Connect working Beta demonstration....yay! @jbuhl Have never listened to radio paradise. If my sound stage got any bigger it would be out of proportion. I started out with a BDA-3.14 (which is a BDA-3 with a raspberry Pi internally, hence the 3.14). The internal streamer kept on lockin... | |
| Qobuz Connect working Beta demonstration....yay! @jbuhl Not sure what you are referring to.

Plugged in an outboard 2 TB drive and ... | |

| Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off? I don't think its dying at all, it is certainly changing. The thing I find the most disturbing is that I've been asked "Yeah it sounds amazing but where is the video?" I just shake my head and reply "If you can't see it then this is not for you.... | |
| Recommendations for really well-recorded music for high-end audio system demo @soix Acoustic Alchemy - Arcanum - Casino: tremendous playing, clarity, freq range. instrumental. The original CD version is much better than Qobuz. Regards, barts | |
| Time heals all wounds? @davidrolon I had a Sony carousel CD player for my garage/shop. It played for many years and then it wouldn't read a disc, then it would a week later. This went on for about a year(!) Then I finally had it and ripped it apart...down in the bow... | |

| Audiophile frame of mind @dhite71 Many good grill choices out there. Bought an all stainless Weber natural gas grill as part of new patio, so nice to never have to lug tanks around. Its been outside for 20 years now (covered for the first ten, till a bear decided he d... | |
