| It was 61 years ago today... Although I don't remember when they were on the Ed Sullivan Show, my family was in the same hotel as the Beatles in 1966 when the Beatles played Washington DC. We were in the pool area they came out on their balcony and waved. The girls went nuts.... | |
| Sound quality of new vinyl recordings. I've brought 180G copies of my favorite LP's. Most were definitely better then the old pressings. But as @vonhelmholtz stated, it all depends on what company did the new pressing. Getting opinions is your best bet on which ones are better or not. ... | |
| A public service announcement +1 @erik_squires Aside from the great (snide) comments, let us know how you like the Hana. I've been temped myself. | |
| Why didn't I sell my vinyl rig? @fuzztone wins. | |
| "Need" Roon, Bluesound Node, or or other streamer? Another hater of MQA here, just FYI. It's a solution looking for a problem. I started with a Bluesound, easy to use and setup. The DAC was fine, but it's not going to be top of the line for the money of course. I then got an external DAC for it a... | |
| Cloning an SSD for a Music Streamer Agree with @fuzztone , but @designsfx makes a good point, many systems use a version of the Unix operating systems to format data as it's a much cheaper license then the Microsoft format of data. Ask Cocktail, they will tell you. If it is a... | |
| Best sounding FM table radio ever made... @cleeds - You are 100% right. Mixing baseball with music and got them both wrong. Thanks! | |
| chatGPT identifies concentric driver designs like Ohm Walsh.... I've tried out ChatGPT and it is amazing, and scary. But my Grandfather (born 1870, died 1960) once told me that having electricity at home was really scary - to them it was magic. He said my Grandmother refused to turn anything on herself for yea... | |
| I feel bad for Generation X and The Millennial's I love how a Generation X person on this thread is sad for the next generation coming up and what they'll miss that he experienced. Hmmm, sounds like the Boomer being sad for everyone who came after them, and of course the Greatest Generation feel... | |
| 13.2, 5.1 and so on. "the best seat in the house" I tried for years to use a 5.1 system for stereo, spent big money on speakers and electronics (Macintosh-Anthem-Lexicon), that had "2-Channel Stereo" as an option, never sounded good unless video was playing. Finally gave up and got a nice two cha... | |
| Streaming – Discovering Similar or New Music @pokey77 Glad to turn a few folks on to Music-map. I understand wanting to find new music vs. music that's the same. I listen to new stuff for three reasons, 1) Keep current and show my 12 Year old Niece I'm not some old guy listening to a lot o... | |
| Ideal USB cable length, streamer to DAC? I have read USB should be under 2 feet, there was some gobble-gook about why. I never compared, but since a shorter usb is cheaper anyway, I went with the recommendation. | |
| Best sounding FM table radio ever made... +1 @jasonbourne52 On both your comments. I sold the Koss back then, might be hard to find now. Second best was the Bose (honestly! They actually made some good stuff once in a while). I miss WNEW, especially The Nightbird, her segue's were amaz... | |
| Streaming – Discovering Similar or New Music I use the website music-map.com - try it out. | |
| Speakers with deep/powerful bass I used to sell those big 15 inch Cerwin Vega's in the 1980's - sold them with the massive Pioneer/Sansui/Marantz receivers back then. I probably account for hundreds of people losing most of their hearing at a young age. But man did Stairway to He... |
