| Analog Lp I have found the new 180 gram records sound much better then older pressings. Quieter, more dynamic. I have compared them to my 30 year old records (kept mint) and also brought some replacement ones still sealed after 30 years and compared them to... | |
| BlueSound Stinks(!), anyone? I’ve had a Vault 2 for well over a year now and love it. They were quick to answer my questions, I hope they take care of you too, as I’d hate to think their product or company is slipping. | |
| 4 speakers/2 channels I had a surround sound (Mcintosh AVR) with Totem Rainmakers in the front, and KEF 'eggs' for the center and back. When I went back to just stereo, I had for a while the Rainmakers in the front, no center and the rear were the KEFs. Although the so... | |
| Substantial Upgrade @bruinuclafan - it was the price/quality equilibrium as you so well state. For instance, I only stream for background music and finding new music, if I listened more 'seriously' I would invest in a better streamer. Same with the choice of TT. It s... | |
| 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 ... |
