| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw Albert Productions was the production company for AC/DC in Australia. Angus and Malcom's brother George was part of the "Vanda and Young" that you see credited as producers on their earlier work. Their live album is one of my favorites, bu... | |
| < $3000 speaker recommendation for tube integrated amp? Focal Electra 1008 BE can be had at your price point. I have Heresy I speakers and these are in a completely different league. I haven't heard the newest Heresy III and know that most find them better than the Heresy I, but I would be surprise... | |
| How many of you believe in MQA? Larry, I think you're confused about a couple of things.First, you shouldn't need a PC in the chain. You stream music from the Bluesound Node 2 directly to your Arcam or you can run it to the Pro-Ject DAC via a coax cable and connect the DAC to t... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Jenny Hval - The Practice of Love | |
| Separate Dac, and what kind? The Bluesound Node 2i includes a DAC and it’s pretty decent and will pass through MQA if that matters to you. | |
| Thinking of upgrading my Mytek Liberty DAC to? What difference do you want to hear? You're probably not getting a lot of responses because few people are likely to have listened to all of those DACs. I haven't heard any of them. If you can describe what you don't like about the Liberty or w... | |
| How many of you believe in MQA? I wouldn't say I'm "embracing" MQA, but I don't hate it either. I think it sounds better than a CD quality file even with a non MQA DAC just letting Tidal's app do the first unfold. I prefer hi-res files on Qobuz where I don't need a special dev... | |

| Will I notice a difference? I have the Orchid, and it is not my most expensive DAC but I think it's my favorite. I've never heard your CD player so I don't know if it will be better or if you will like it better but if you like neutral detailed "analog" sounding digital then... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw The version of '74 Jailbreak I listened to last night was the best sounding AC/DC I've heard on vinyl. A lot of their stuff, especially the older albums, wasn't engineered all that great, but this sounded really nice. This is the one - Col... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? I listened to the new Pixies album, Beneath the Eyrie this morning. Not much new music "grabs" me on first listen nowadays, but I really liked it. Qobuz, Hi- Res. Listening to Rush, Permanent Waves now. | |
| Best used turntable(s) around $1500.00 for playing metal and rock I'm not familiar with that turntable, so am not sure how good it is. Your money might be better spent on a new cartridge and a phono stage. If you're using the phono stage on the carver preamp, that is probably a weak link. Something like the... | |
