| New remastering of Steely Dan's Katy Lied review by Fremer I no longer spin vinyl but I saw the new hi-res version on Qobuz. I will definitely give it a listen. I love Steely Dan. | |
| Has this ever happened to you? Yes that’s what it’s all about. As Hans says, enjoy the music. | |
| Dumb question......why do you need a preamp? A lot of good advice. If you have an integrated amp and it has all the inputs you need and it controls your system the way you want it to you should be set. If you prefer separate components with a stand alone power amplifier, you will need a se... | |
| Preamp with dual sub control and XLR inputs and outputs and optical input Thanks for the info. Appreciate it. | |
| R2R next? Don't like ESS I can recommend the Holo Audio Cyan 2. It’s designed to have one input because changing inputs is not as simple as pushing a button. So if that works for you it sounds excellent, is very well built and costs about $1300 shipped. It’s the best s... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Sorry to hear about your wife. Hope all goes well. Hope listening to your music helps give you some peace for a while. | |
| Preamp with dual sub control and XLR inputs and outputs and optical input Thanks for the feedback. $2199 new but Saw a used one online for $1100. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Charles Mingus - Mingus Ah Um | |
| I find myself "tuning out" anymore.....is the magic fading? I understand what you’re saying. All the new equipment coming out and FOMO can be too much. I enjoy reading about new gear even though I’ll never own it. When it gets to be too much, unplug from the noise and play the music you love. As Hans s... | |
| HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH TO SPEND ON A SYSTEM? IF YOU GET THE SOUND DOES IT MATTER? I think it depends on your budget. What can you afford without impacting what else you need money for. The story of the guy that built a million $ system and having it go bad is a cautionary tale. In my experience starting simple and lower budg... | |
| MoFi Sourcepoint 888 Speakers Thanks for the feedback. I was looking at them also instead of their 8 snd 10 inch standmounts. Erin’s Audio Corner had a positive review. Trying to fit into my budget. How much did you pay for the pair? | |
| Here's a really, really great video on Richard Manuel (and oh yeah, The Band). All of The Band members are gone RIP. Richard was the 1st to go unfortunately. They made Great music and the Last Waltz is one of the all-time great music movies. Make that great movies period. | |
| Movie/film suggestions. Another suggestion, Orson Welles’ Citizen Kane still looks great in black and white on a big screen. A great story, well acted with excellent cinematography. | |
| At the top of the line is it really all that different? Good question. In my experience as you go up the line and up in price the sound quality often improves but there’s a point of diminishing returns. Just about everyone has a budget. I suggest trying the best equipment you can afford. work with a de... | |
| Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. RIP to one of the most beautiful voices in music. And a good drummer. |
