| CD player Just another option, I had over 1,000 CDs and used a Bluesound to burn them into digital files and used it to “stream” my CD library. I would never go back to playing CDs, so I agree with ghdpentice for the most part. Using the Bluesound software... | |
| Mcintosh MC462 versus Luxman M10X I cannot respond specifically switching from a Mcintosh cd to a Luxman cd, however I owned a Mcintosh pre amp and power amp for many years. I switched to a Luxman 590AXII integrated and have never looked back. It was a huge improvement. That said,... | |
| For all you Bose 901 Haters! Back in the 70's we hung FOUR 901's from the ceiling of our 12x10 foot dorm room driven by a Sansui 9090. Not only did the ceiling drip colors (although that might have been for another reason) but the plaster on the walls flaked off and we couldn... | |
| 2nd system thoughts on vintage receivers For Looks go with Marantz, for sound go with a Rotel, NAD, Mcintosh or Luxman. Although Mc and Luxman look great also in my opinion. I agree with @fuzztone on a receiver though, get an integrated and add a cheap streamer. I would not go with the N... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @reubent Last Chance Texaco - sooo good, well, the whole album is good | |
| King Crimson Wow, I would love to hear Court of the Crimson for the first time again. Enjoy! @twoleftears Yeah, for instance, I never really liked McCarthy after he left his first backup band and started Wings. I think the first band called themselves The B... | |
| Kelsea Ballerini Thanks @welcher | |
| Apple iPad music streamer @fthompson251 Just got the Aurender N200, an upgrade from the Bluesound Vault. Really nice and enjoying it immensely. | |
| Is Old Music Killing New Music? @hilde45 Stop whining, get off your butt and take over anytime you want to. No one's stopping you. Although I think it's funny that when I was growing up the Greatest Generation called Boomers lazy, communist, tree-hugging drug-crazed bums. Now p... | |
| Thinking of taking the plunge. +1 on the Bluesound stuff, easy setup, easy to use and you get it all in one box. Not the absolute best of course, but plenty good, gives you everything streaming, and it's exactly what you need to get started and understand Streaming. By the tim... | |
| Upsampling PCM or DSD in 2022 I went with the PS Audio Direct Stream, moving to it for the upsampling and FPGA. As a techie, I liked the idea of FPGA and to me upsampling makes sense. I looked at the Chord, but yeah, way more money and extra cables. I don't have any experienc... | |
| 2:00 a.m. listening at Noon! +1 @czarivey | |
| It comes with a balance knob?!?! I'll take it! I damaged my right ear drum at a Hot Tuna concert back in the '70's when "The Wall of Sound" was popular (so why only the right ear you ask? It was at the Rutgers College Basketball arena and I was sitting on the right side with my right ear up a... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Just put on Lee Ritenour’s 6 String Theory - for the first time! Never heard the album before. Lovely. The second song with Keb Mo’ and Taj Mahal is outstanding. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @wolf_garcia So Sax is tawdry, but you like threesomes?? LOL I didn't see The Modern Jazz Quartet mentioned. The Last Concert is always in my rotation for Jazz. And thanks to everyone for their recommendations. |
