| Magico A3 replacement @grislybutter What a great list! I plan on keeping it for future reference. | |
| Is there such a thing as a good medium priced music streamer? The Bluesound Node N130 is $449 everywhere their software is surprisingly easy to use and it does Amazon, Tidal, Qobuz etc. it even unfolds MQA. I have one and have been very happy with it. All the best. | |
| Jazz for aficionados As I’ve said before, Bill Evans is in my top five pianists and that’s in all genres. | |
| Jazz for aficionados So I’m trying to listen to Walter Davis Jr. Trio, Scorpio album and it is so hard for me to get past Walter’s noises that are as loud as everything else on the album. Even my wife came out of the back room to ask what that horrible noise was. I ... | |
| Tune of the Day Ten Years After, Rock & Roll Music To The World. One of their best! | |
| Does it bother you when you see inflated MSRP’s for used gear on AG? There’s a sucker born every minute. If you are an Uninformed buyer, than you might be that sucker. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 , Bill Evans is definitely in my top five piano players. I really like the way he tickles the ivory’s. I’ll try to watch the documentary. Thanks. | |

| Hegel H390 DAC @stuartk As far as me going with Denifrips, I have an American made Schiit Bifrost and it is Btight and has thin bass. So I was looking for something different and I always wanted to try a ladder DAC. | |
| Hegel H390 DAC I’ve been a separates guy since the seventies and all tube since the eighties. Getting an integrated was a big step for me. After all my research, the I was either going to get a Luxman, L-507 or the L-505UX MKll, the Hegel, H590 or the H390. I en... | |
| Hegel H390 DAC Yeah, it’s pretty nice and I hear the H590 is much better and the new H600 is better still. Now that the H600 is out, the H590 are on sale for about half price new. I can’t swing it this year, but maybe by the end of next? |
