| Anybody watch the Grammys tonight? No cultural behavior is immune from criticism based on observational behavior or customs particularly if such behavior is detrimental to some of its members. I based this on my own urban experiences (Detroit and Chicago) circa 1960s-1970s. I cann... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Dave,+1 Tom's comments. Very well depressed and an enjoyable read.David,Congratulations on your excellent system. You've put the wok and time in to achieve this level of success. Charles | |
| Anybody watch the Grammys tonight? Frogman, As you surely know we are in the era of identity politics so white folks (particularly men) are fair game and attacks toward them are encouraged. As a "person of color" there's undeniable irony that I come to their defense but I detest... | |
| Anybody watch the Grammys tonight? At one point in my life I listened regularly to rap and hip hop but my tastes have changed (my wife still likes some hip hop occasionally). I find jazz exponentially more fulfilling and substantive, just superior music but I admit this is just m... | |
| Anybody watch the Grammys tonight? Rpeluso,I am neither old nor white. Resorting to silly stereotypes reveals more regarding you than those you chose to castigate. Okay so as you state you're "old and white" does this grant you the self righteousness to put down others who express... | |
| Prefered 300B tubes for Canary Amplifiers Cost, he is letting you know that these are very reasonably priced for good 300b tubes. Higher end 300bs can easily cost 800 to 2000.00 dollars per pair. For example I have Japanese Takatsuki (1800.00) bought about 5 years ago and Czech Republic ... | |
| Anybody watch the Grammys tonight? Guswatte,I also feel the "talentless streetwalker" comment was unwarranted as I don’t believe personal attacks are justified (or accurate). Musical taste is all across the proverbial map as most of us posting here can certainly attest to. My prima... | |
| Let's talk power cords Jon,Does the power cable impact the sound of one component (DAC and preamplifier) more than the other?Charles | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Terry,I haven’t read your review of the Pass Labs XA 25 but will do so. If this is a simpler circuit design with fewer part count. I could certainly believe it sonically exceeds other Nelson Pass efforts. I can understand his decision to go wit... | |
| Anybody watch the Grammys tonight? Frogman, Well said and I share your sentiments. Repetitive and stale political pablum. I didn’t watch and I wonder what the ratings were for this telecast. My gut feeling is that they are probably markedly diminished. I think at this juncture quit... | |
| Best 845 tube out there? I can attest to the many sonic attributes of the 300b, however I also like the 845 very much. Depending on the speakers involved, some may certainly benefit from the additional (3-4x) power of an 845 output tube. Either tube is capable of excepti... | |
| Best used or new DAC under $3500 I don't believe that most posters are stating their recommendation is"best" but rather they're amongst the field of worthy high quality choices. Charles | |
| Coming out of the blackhole called work...retirement Amg56,Congratulations on your retirement. You have received some very good advice from various posters.I am in agreement with mitch2 in that you need to decide what type of sound and system you want. Definitely you need to get out and get exposur... | |
| Let's talk power cords Jon,Yes please give your listening impression of that "Tijuana Moods" recording. I’ve owned "Mingus In Wonderland " for about 20 years and still enjoy it as much as ever.Charles | |
| Let's talk power cords Jon,I'm not familiar with "Tijuana Moods".Charles |
