| Whats on your turntable tonight? Seals & Crofts - Diamond Girl, CD-4nQuadradisc. Not exactly a fan, but I've been picking up a few of these Quadeadiscs recently, and for the most part they sound really good in two channel mode and this one is no exception. Only one dud really... | |
| Were you naughty or nice? What did Santa bring you! Audio related only please! I got two light bulbs that double as Bluetooth speakers. Top that! | |
| What's up with TMR Audio? I am a little surprised that the buyer didn’t get an email confirmation of their purchase. In this day and age of automation that’s fairly common for online resellers to provide. Was the purchase made by PayPal? If so, they should have received an... | |

| What are you streaming tonight? Norah Jones - Begin Again, Qobuz Hi-ResChicago IX - QobuzJohn Coltrane - Blue World, Qobuz Hi-Res | |
| Kiseki Purpleheart I have the Kiseki Blue NS, it's my best cartridge. Great tracking, no noticeable distortion, solid bass, clear but not "bright" treble. Disturbing to hear about those quality issues. I've had mine since March with no issues. | |
| CD Player vs. music streaming My CD player (a Marantz KI-Pearl) sounds better than my streamer (Bluesound Node 2 into an Auralic Vega DAC), but I stream a lot more often than I listen to CDs due to the convenience. The sound quality is only negligibly better listening to CDs ... | |
