| Jazz for aficionados @alexatpos In answer to your question, I’ve seen others ask the Jazz questions, but they only seem to get answers, but not the suggestion to check out this thread. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @alexatpos listening to The Art Of Intimacy Vol. 1 and it’s wonderful. I don’t know if it’s my bad memory or what, but how have I never heard this album before? Excellent! | |
| Question about Break in of Weiss DAC 204 Oh, I am starting to look at replacing my Pontus ll DAC and would be interested in hearing your thoughts on the Weiss. Thanks. | |
| Question about Break in of Weiss DAC 204 Leave it on with an input device like a streamer. Find an internet radio station and let it rip. When I bought a new streamer, I kept the BS Node and it’s perfect for such a job. It also sounds pretty darn good as a streamer also. | |
| Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... @lanx0003 I have the Pontus ll and I love it. The full sized Liav DAC is somewhere between the Aries ll and the Pontus ll. The uLiav is much closer in sound to the Aries ll in both sound and price. If you have the budget, I’d go for the Pont... | |
| How many times can u visit a hifi store before it annoys the store if u plan on a purchase We only have one high end store here and I go there about once a year to listen to a couple of their rooms, but for some reason they just don’t sound good to me.

| Jazz for aficionados @alexatpos Thanks. I saw those and they are on my list. I never heard of him until a few days ago and now I find Pelt has quite a few albums out. Would have played them tonight, but we’re supposed to be getting a bad storm here this evening, so... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Steven Wilson’s new album, Overview. (2025) | |
| Maybe critical listening skills are bad? Maybe it’s just me, but the longer I try to AB things, the things start to sound the same. Sure, some equipment sounds night and day different, but when the equipment sounds close from the start, it really blends after a few back and forths, I ca... | |
| Enough of the Stereophile futuristic statements about the Focal Diva Utopia @p05129 Umm, have you heard the LS60’s??? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks @acman3 I will check out more of his catalog. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Jeremy Pelt, Woven, just popped up on Qobuz. I found this album not really to my taste, but somehow I could not turn it off. Has anyone else heard the album yet? | |
| The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype Yeah sure, the DAC in your phone is more than anyone needs. 😁 | |
| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk Yep, I’m a posser. 😇 And sadly the list is huge and some of the names makes me really scratch my head. Ray Charles might be on he top that list for me. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks @stuartk, but I got rid of two turntables and probably 90% of my vinyl maybe fifteen years ago. I do still have two other turntables, but I haven’t spun a disk in more than a decade. It’s so sad how much talent is lost to hard drugs eve... |
