What are songs where people or instruments sound closer to you?
@robert53 What a fun recording to listen to. I have never been disappointed with a Chesky. JD

@secret-vinyl I do have a very old very worn, copy of Transformer. I’m probably going to have to listen to the CD or stream instead. Thanks.

@jrosemd  It’s funny, like probably everyone else, I have Pet Sounds, but I must admit, I’ve never heard Sunflower. Thanks, I’ll check it out.   JD  
Ideal power cord lengths?
Sorry brother, I have PC’s from 4 different companies and they are all 5’ or 6’.  
Whats playing on your system today?
@ozzy  Until the last few years, all I listened to 60’s - 70’s rock with a bit of jazz thrown in from time to time. Now it’s the exact opposite. Although I do listen to new music from the likes of Paramore, Saint Vincent, The War On Drugs and…

Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried...
@jwei  Currently I’m on Amazon music and unfortunately Taking a chance on love isn’t on it. That’s why I was asking, because I couldn’t find it.  Just looked again.☹️ My loss.  
Opinions before purchasing
I’m using the Denon 1 step below yours with a set of floor standers and no sub.  I put one in for a while and it sounded amazing on movies, but I really didn’t have the room for it, so it went back to my 2 channel setup. All the Best. JD  
Two amps into one pair of speakers
Just because an amp is turned off, doesn’t mean it’s not still putting out some form of current, even if it’s only a few seconds or a few minutes.  I’m not saying it’s definitely an accident waiting to happen, but why take a chance??  
Vinyl goes green!
@yogiboy  Thanks for sharing.  I wish them all the best, but as we all know, they have a long way to go before that have a shelf stable product that will sound as good as vinyl and last as long as vinyl.  
Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West?
Just started streaming a couple of months ago. Bought a New Node and it wasn’t right and returned it. Got a second one and it works well. Last week had some issues with BluOS and the customer service was pretty good. They responded fairly quickly ...

@jwei  Do you know what album “Taking a chance on love” might be on? Thanks  
What's going on with the used audio gear market?
@hilde45  Just checked, 2 out of three have been re listed and the other I guess expired , but I’m not sure. I remember doing a search for an OPPO 205 and sellers asking $6500.00 for them. I expect those listings are still there as well.😁

@stevewharton  I have about ten RHCP albums, but not that one. Will stream it later. Thanks. BTW, I’ve seen them live and they put on a great show! JD
