| MissingCDs and records Having moved to mostly streaming, I still miss reading the album covers and studying the pictures and that’s why I still have a CDT. When I feel nostalgic or want to listen to something that’s not on any streaming service, I pull out the album an... | |
| Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers I am a new Sonus Farber convert. So of course I am going to tell you to check out Sonus Farber. I bought the Amati G5’s and really like their sound. Nothing shouts at me and the bass is good even at low levels to the point that I am using the s... | |
| A cable too perfect? Another vote for giving the cable more burn-in time before you change anything else. All the best. | |
| Merry go round In the last fifty plus years I have changed everything in my system more times than I can count. And as of right now, I’m close to my happy place. Improving my DAC is coming, but I am not in a huge rush to do so. I’m currently able to listen to m... | |
| got my PayPal 1099 /// what now? @welcher summed it up very well. | |
| Does You Subwoofer Settings ?? Because no two engineers mix music the same way, there is no one setting for subwoofers, but you can get close. That said, since I changed from KEF Reference speakers to Sonus Farber Amati speakers, I am finding I’m not using the one SVS SB2000 ... | |
| speaker upgrade fever I got rid of my KEF Reference 5’s because I thought they were bright and quite analytical and replaced them with Sonus Farber Amati G5’s. While the price is above your price range, I would still say to check out the Sonus Farber Olympica Nova ll ... | |
| NEW Tekton Design Speakers - The Bonnevilles @knotscott 😁😁😁 | |
| Replace tubes yearly? Paul McGowan always says to leave SS equipment on, not tube. In fact their BHK preamp and power amps are designed to stay on except the tube inputs, when on standby. He does say to leave all amps on at least twenty minutes before listening to g... | |
| Beware - FedEx Drivers are forging signatures for delivery confirmation I just got one from the USPS saying I wasn’t home when she came by. Not only was I there, but I have two cameras aimed at my front door and there was nothing! The only reasons I can think of is they are on such tight schedules ( like FedX or UPS... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @tyray , Since I am not the target audience for this album, I gave Black Radio 2 a wide berth. Although there are some okay bits, I don’t think I will be rushing out to buy a copy. 😎 | |
| Jazz for aficionados Listening to Bent Jaedig, The Free Spirit. It’s a well recorded live album. | |
| Linear Power Supply Recommendations! You might want to send Teddy Pardo an email and see what they have. I bought one of their LPS’s for my Node and it works great. The sound is noticeably better and there is no background noise at all. | |
| A great has died Another vote for the Brown album. RIP Garth Hudson. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk I pretty much like all of his recordings. There’s something about the way he pounds those keys and you can tell that his bass player and drummer seem to enjoy playing with him as well. |
