| Jazz for aficionados Listening to the John Wright Trio, South Side Soul on this rainy morning. Here’s hoping the power doesn’t go out. | |
| Isolation devices- to use 3 or 4 footers? My DAC only has three points coming out of the bottom for it to stand on, so I have three Isoacoustics Orea Indigo’s under it. My preamp has four feet and is bigger, so I went with four isolators under it. | |
| If A.I. took the place of musicians, would you listen to it? I’m not sure that AI would affect my listening habits much. Almost everything I listen to is from the 50’s through the 70’s. | |
| Warm relaxed digital coax I’m using a DH Labs Mirage from my streamer to my DAC and couldn’t be happier. They’re nice people to deal with to. | |

Or when I’m in my car, I still tap my toe and slap my thigh to the beat, but I definitely prefer listeni... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @alexatpos Three of your four videos came up as unavailable 🙁. Guitar in the wind, was the only one that made it. Oh and it’s excellent 😁 | |
| Jazz for aficionados @alexatpos @frogman Thanks guys for bringing up Hal McKusick. Happily listening to Cross Section now and Triple Exposure next. Now’s The Time isn’t on Qobuz or Amazon. 🙁 | |
| How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound? I can be happy listening to the radio in my car. When I mow the lawn, I wear some $27 ear buds Bluetoothed to my phone and I’m happy. I have an old boombox in the garage and it makes me happy. I have some ancient Yamaha two-way speakers plugged i... | |
