| What are you streaming tonight? I love Elvis Costello. His records take up a lot of space in my collection and I have multiple copies of a few of them, including a number of the MFSLs (which honestly aren't that great). My Aim Is True was a fantastic debut, so unlike anything ... | |
| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? Uber - I used Plast-I-Clay Modeling Clay. I bought 8 lbs. from allartsupplies.com for a little over 20 bucks. I didn't use it all and gave what was leftover to my grandaughter, so it was a nice "two-fer"!The QL-Y66F stock feet are small and ... | |
| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? I love my JVC QL-Y66F. I have 5 turntables, including a Clearaudio Emotion with the Satisfy arm and a Hana SL, but the JVC is my "main" table. I had to stuff some plasticlay inside the plinth and replace the bouncy feet with some highly damped a... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? I picked up a few used Deep Purple albums recently that were all in great shape. I've always liked Deep Purple, but dipping into their older catalog was a real treat, even the David Coverdale stuff that Allmusic only gave two stars in their reviews. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? We're fortunate to have a some smaller more intimate theaters where some good bands visit regularly. I couldn't decide what to listen to this morning, so I'm letting Tidal pick for me with one of their "my mixes" - Zeppelin, The Doors, Fleetwood ... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Uber - Los Lobos were great! I've never followed them closely, so it was close to seeing a new band, except it was one that has been playing for 45 years and is very tight and has a great repertoire. We were front row center, which was pretty co... | |
| How much are AR AR3's worth these days? I’ve listed things on Craigslist and had multiple offers to purchase at the listed price and realized I could have priced the item higher, but the thought never occurred to me to pull the ad and try to get more. I’m not sure if I’m dumber than the... | |
| Abbey Road 50th Anniversary I didn't A/B it with other versions, but the bass definitely was one of the things that stood out to me, not in a bad way though. The bass lines were clear and clean and well defined in relation to the other instruments and it gave it more of a "... | |
| what's a good fm tuner? Tons of info on tuners here: http://fmtunerinfo.com/Sound quality is one issue, but reception is probably more important. I have a Magnum Dynalab Etude, and while I love the sound, it doesn't pull in distant stations as well as my Onkyo T-9090... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Deep Purple - Who Do We Think We Are? | |
| Node 2i Coax Out You might also try checking out this thread: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/do-we-really-need-anything-greater-than-24-96-opinionsSomething else you can try, if you have a computer setup, listen to some hi res files at 16/44 or 16/48 an... | |
| Node 2i Coax Out I have 2 Node 2 units (not the 2i). One is connected to my Auralic Vega DAC by coax and the one in my bedroom is connected to a Mytek Liberty DAC. Both sound great. I listen mostly to Qobuz and Tidal, both sound great with all files, whether hi... | |

| What are you streaming tonight? The Who - Who Are You? Qobuz Hi-Res | |
| What's a really great Streamer/DAC box for just streaming Tidal? @elizabeth There's lots of truth in what you said. I would go more in the direction of something like a Bluesound Node 2i and a decent external DAC. I should say, that's what I've done in my system. Streamers seem to be a pretty fast moving tar... |
