| 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. | |
| Car streaming blues, ain’t marketing great Harmon Kardon has been making car stereo since at least the early 80's (I use to sell it). It's not top of the line, but usually quite decent. I agree with reubet and M669326 as your first options, if that doesn't work out, I'd suggest upgrading t... | |
| Harbeth again…or other speakers for acoustic music? @philsons I did add a sub to my 30.2’s, I never felt I was missing much before I got it, but of course the sub did fill out the sound. I got the 10 inch JLAudio sub, plenty for me. Someone mentioned Totems, very different sounding then the Harb... | |
| What Is So Special About Harbeth? I love my Harbeth’s, but would not recommend them for hard rock, they are in my opinion, not ‘fast’, they do not “rock”, by which I mean AC/DC sounds polite. Amazing for vocal, acoustic, classical, blues, jazz, but if Pantera or Ghost is your cup ... | |
| Avoiding Scammers - Both As Buyer & Seller I take pictures of every part of the item and I also take pictures of me packing it into the box. It also gets weighed (can't claim an old shoe if it weighs 40 pounds.) Check how long and how many buys/sells they have made, and their rating. Scam... | |
| Eva Cassiday Blew Me Away with her cover of Wayfaring Stranger.... I honestly didn’t know she was dead. Damn. Now I gotta listen to some Eva to cheer me up, but then it’ll just make me sad again that she is gone. As an aside, I worked at a huge record store back East in the 1980’s and a kid around 14 came up to ... | |
| Speaker Recommendations for Vintage Technics SU7300 For a vintage amp I’d get speakers to match, the new version JBL’s or the new KLH. Depends on his budget of course and what type of music he likes. The Klispsch are also a nice match for that amp and will get loud with 40 watts, if he likes to roc... |
