| Whats playing on your system today? Love the Jeff Beck, Bogart and Appice live album box set. Listening to the Moody Blues for the 1st time in a while. I see John Lodge is touring. I’m Just a Singer in a Rock and Roll band rocks for the Moodies. | |
| Movie/film suggestions. If you need a good laugh and a movie that didn’t get a lot of publicity, The Other Guys is pretty funny IMO. I’ve watched it many times and it still makes me laugh. | |
| Qobuz vs Tidal Thanks for sharing. I tried all of the streaming services about a year ago and I ended up going with Qobuz too. It had the best combination of sound quality, selection, ease of use and cost in my experience. | |
| Do you listen to your music with your eyes open or closed or a combination of both? I listen in a dimly lit room. Sometimes I close my eyes. If I’m listening at night and I close my eyes I wake up later and the music has stopped. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Animals - Pink Floyd. The 2018 remixed and remastered version sounds better than all of their other albums now IMO. Wish You Were Here is my favorite so I’m hoping the 50th anniversary version is as good. | |
| How often do you upgrade turntable ? I upgraded my turntable about every 5 years starting out when I was young. As my disposable income increased I upgraded. Stopped upgrading when CDs came out and then I started upgrading CD players. Now I mostly stream and have updated my DACs a... | |

| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. Interesting discussion. I read ASR for a while because I found the reviews with data helpful. I also read and listened to reviews on other sites that discussed listening impressions. Put them all together and you get a sense if a piece of equipm... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Blow by Blow - Jeff Beck | |
| Is there usually a dramatic difference between $5k and $10k cartridges ? Usually yes besides the cost but like with other equipment twice the price doesn’t mean it sounds twice as good or is a better value. | |
| Tune of the Day A Little Bit of Freedom - Robin Trower. | |
| My Gray Experience Sorry to hear but thanks for sharing your experience. Reinforces taking the time to research online dealers. I’ve purchased a lot of equipment online and some sites I avoid after checking them out. If you’re not completely comfortable I suggest... | |
| More on XLR vs RCA considerations? On short runs with well made equipment you probably won’t notice an audible difference. I have both and choose to use XLR cables and connections when available. The cables click or lock in place so it’s a secure connection especially with other ... | |
| Streamer, no DAC please? Recommend Innuos streamers. They have several different models depending on your budget including used ones you can usually find online. Their Sense app works well with Qobuz, which is the steaming service I use and recommend. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Little Feat - Waiting for Columbus. The 8 CD set. A great boogie woogie band in their prime. |
