Do you have a "Music" Friend?
@alexatpos Yep. I listen alone. It's not sad, just lonely when a great lyric or a great solo comes along. I agree a lot of folks don't listen to Jazz anymore, their loss of course. But I don't think it's any particular genre that will get you more... 
New-ish to Audiogon Forums... Is it always like this?
As with any blog, these is good and bad. I agree that lots of folks come here looking for a simple, straight-forward "what should I buy?" question, or confirmation that they already know the right answer, and are not looking for a discussion or fo... 
Anyone have the Answer?
p05129 Yeah, I really don't understand MC, he does have some very good experience and knowledge to share, he even thanked me once for a musician I recommended on another thread, so I know he has a heart. But for some reason likes to trash/insult p... 
Do you have a "Music" Friend?
@EDCYN687 Regardless of my nickname, I was and am open to all music. Yep, been about 35-40 years for me too. I had one friend who loved the Doors and Springsteen, I myself never put them on, but had no issue with sitting and listening. Lou is/was ... 
For a few dollars more
Damn, the first thought I had about this thread was that Clint had died. Had to check the news. Glad to see it wasn't true. I have barely gotten over losing John Prine.  
Scratching my head...Bluesound Node 2i direct to amp
I owned a Mac surround amp and pre-amp for years. It never sounded that good with two channel. When I did finally switch to pure two-channel, it was an amazing difference. In my experience, I agree with the others, replace the Mac.  
WILSON AUDIO.....BIG NAME, BIG PRICE........ARE THEY THAT GOOD?
I spent the last year listening to bookshelf/monitor size speakers. Not an easy thing to do during a pandemic even though I am luckily enough to have 5 high-end stores around me. I listened to the Tunetots and was not impressed and did not buy the... 
Got Boots!
Apologies, I meant I only have her on digital, I will have to pick up the LP. Thanks for the heads up.  
Classical Top Five
You just started a war. My vote is Mahler. 
Got Boots!
She is one of my favorites. But only digital, not on LP. Thanks for the heads up.  
Upgrade Bluesound DAC or go to Aurrender?
Thanks to all, I believe I will first upgrade to an outboard DAC, then go to the N10 at some future date. Although the A10 will get me a very nice improvement, if I did ever want to upgrade from the A10, I'd have to start from scratch. This way I ... 
Wesley Schultz
Thank you for the post. I did not see your first post, but I have listened to both singers now and enjoyed them. I had heard of the Lumineers before but have not bothered to listen to them. I will now. Thank you again. 
Any luv for Bunny Wailer?
Lit one up in his honor. 
Worst Concerts You Have Attended ??
This might shock a few folks but it was a Van Morrison show in New Jersey in the late 80’s, he played a medley of his songs for an hour, he’d start a song, sing a line or two, then roll into another one, it was clear the songs that had meant a lot... 
Digital vs 8 Track
Playing a third or fourth generation 8 Track (on a Craig of course) of a live Dead concert while driving to a Dead concert. What on Earth could sound better then that? 8 Tracks rule. Ummm, what year is this again?
