| Late Night Jazz Just listened to Ben Webster’s Soulville 5 times in a row. Don’t know how I never heard it before. Might go for a sixth. Thanks for that recommendation. Thanks to the OP of course. | |
| Substantial Upgrade I just got the P6 with their MC for $2300. No set up issues at all and sounds great out of the box. If I listened to more vinyl, like it sounds you do, I would have gone one step up, such as say the P8 or 10 or the Doctor with the higher priced H... | |
| A DAC to help overcome compressed music? Thanks all, some good suggestions that I will look into. Mahler123, you nailed it. I was wondering if others found that happening to them and it wasn’t just me - or if there was, perhaps a magic bullet. | |
| A DAC to help overcome compressed music? I was not specifically looking for a DAC. I was overall looking to improve sound of some favorite music that, as another poster mentioned, was purposely recorded a certain way to sound “good”for lower quality sound systems. Which ends up sounding ... | |
| Bluesound Vault 2i deleting or changing an album I have that issue sometimes. I just responded to another thread that when it happens, I used a media tag editor (Mediamonkey) to fix any missing covers or info after loading it onto the bluesound. Luckily it's rare that it happens, but the softwar... | |
| Bluesound Vault 2i I use MediaMonkey to edit/delete music on my Bluesound. You can download a free copy for Windows to try it out, cheap to buy full version. It was a bit of a pain to get it to see/link to the Bluesound, but once I did, it was easy to use and worked... | |
| A DAC to help overcome compressed music? The rest of my system is a Luxman 590AX II (class A) and Harbeth 30.2. So for a clearer idea of what I mean by compressed, compare an Emmylou Harris, Nanci Griffith album to Alicia Keys or Diana Krall album (ignoring genre for now). The former sou... | |
| What did you make for Christmas? My wife made Osso Buco with saffron risotto,a nice red we got as a gift, and topped it off with an individual molten chocolate cake. Kinda happy with my set up right now. We'll see how long that lasts... | |
| "Chain Store" stories..... Wow. East coast around New York many years ago was Crazy Eddie’s and their smaller rival, Druckers. You can read up on Crazy with a web search, great great story. I have a 100 stories, but just one. We’d sell technics and pioneer turntables at co... | |
| Outgoing playlist for 2020 Well, perhaps not a song title, but in Truckin' by the Dead.....What a long, strange trip its been. | |
| Rega P2 or ...? I can't speak for the phono input on the Belles, but I have a Bluseound and purchased the P6 with the MC ($2300) and that matches and usually beats the sound in my opinion. I do have a really good phono preamp in my integrated amp also however. I ... | |
| Bob Dylan sells his complete songwriting catalog! Can't blame him for selling at his age, he can enjoy the money and hopefully give some to charities and do some good right about now. The only sad part is they'll be used for commercials for Viagra (I shall be Released? The Man in Me?) or dusting ... | |
| Hafler DH-100 - what should this should this sound like? Enjoy it! I did for many years. In some ways I miss it still. Damn, now I gotta play some blues to cheer me up. Take care. | |
| Hafler DH-100 - what should this should this sound like? I owned one a long ago with a B&K 200 watt amp, KEF bookshelf speakers and a sub-woofer. It never sounded bass heavy or muffled. If I had to remember how it sounded, I would say neutral tending toward bright, as the sound through the B&K w... | |
| Need some advice. Trying to help a neighbor in need..... I would suggest contacting an Estate Dealer or two, although it's not a full Estate, it's enough value. They have the contacts to price everything and find buyers. Yes, they will take their cut, but you know, think of the trouble and effort to pri... |
