| 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... | |
| The cost of LP's and CD's - an observation I didn't realize that my original post would generate so much discussion. I'm glad. Although I was thinking to respond directly to several posts, I think I'll just add a few extra thoughts:1) I could have expanded on the comparing the cost between... | |
| Vintage equipment sounds awesome I had a B&K system, AR TT with a Grado, Nak tape deck, with Advents. Had it for years, sold it years ago to get a surround sound 5.1, which was a big mistake. I'd probably would have upgraded the speakers by now, but overall, that was a nice s... | |
| Audiophile metal albums Ghost - Prequelle, great album no matter what. I consider that metal. Lots of styles of Metal. Millercarbon, expand your musical horizons! I'm not heavy into metal, I have to be in the right (wrong?) mood, but Ghost is a very talented musician. | |
| New speakers. New room. Lovely home. Enjoy! | |
| A couple of headphone needs, Depends on cheap is right. I like open-ear headphones like the Grado's, $125 to $2000. You might like them too since he'll be able to hear you or your wife yelling for him! But they lack the deep heavy bass kids (and others!) go for. My son has be... |
