| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk What ever you DM’d me was 100% removed. | |
| Ever heard Rockpile? Maybe @bdp24 ‘s book could come with video links from his experiences. 😀 | |
| How to find local audiophiles Also, check out all your local HiFi stores and ask them about local groups is another option. | |
| How long should high quality speakers last? A lot of variables here. A five dollar single driver with a rubber surround speaker should last almost forever. A speaker system is a completely different animal. The Capacitors in the crossover can blow at any time, but cheaper capacitors can be ... | |
| Wifi vs ethernet revisited Coming off a Nighthawk router, to a couple of those cheap boxes to convert the signal from electric to optical and back to electric. To a Netgear Powerline. To the other Powerline in my music room and lastly to the streamer. I started with a 100’ ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk Oh ya! 😀 | |
| Jazz for aficionados I just started listening to Wes Montgomery, The Incredible Jazz Guitar Of Wes Montgomery and starting with the first cut, my toe was a tapin’. Just the bass in Airegin, has more energy in it than the two cups of coffee I’ve had today. | |
| The new dCS Varese DAC...it is so good that all others are now relegated to history?? It will definitely give you a chance to buy last years model at a greatly reduced price. Maybe… | |
| Netting Over Connectors - Do They Help? @middlemass 🤣🤣🤣 | |
| Speakers sound too bright. Break in and room acoustics are both very important. Find a playlist, any playlist on your favorite streaming service and let them rip for a couple of days. Then try listening to them again. Carpet, book shelves with books, curtains are some simp... |
