| Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music. So I see people harping on Wynton, but I didn’t catch anyone mentioning his talented brother Delfeayo Marsalis (sp?). I’ve enjoyed listening to him and his band play at Snug Harbir In NO; a fine talent. Not to people’s tastes here? | |
| Oregon Audiophiles... Thanks so much. | |
| Speaker selector app. Good suggestions here. If you have some hifi shops near you, it might be worth listening to things in the 9-14k range, find a couple of models you like and then look in the used market. 6k new your options will be limited. | |
| I lied to my wife about the price of Stax 009S headphone Are you guys all making 7 figures, or does no one here save for retirement or give philanthropy? My family is in the 98% percentile of American earners, music is my main hobby, and I can’t afford anything at all like the items mentioned on here. 2... | |
| Oregon Audiophiles... Hi there, I tried to join the PAC group on meetups but it doesn’t seem to be possible or working for me.Dave | |
| Recordings by Elton John, Nirvana and Thousands More Lost in Fire Thanks for sharing the article about the lost music. A real cultural loss—I suppose those of us who have vinyls of those recordings do have an important artifact. Unfortunately, with all of the unreleased music, we will never know what was lost an... | |
| An Audiophile is Anyone Who Loves Audio Regardless of Monetary Status. Agree? When I tap my foot, when my wordly troubles disappear, when I am awed at the beauty of music—those are the moments I am after. Some of those moments come each week from life music made with friends, some of those come from listening to my system. ... | |
| What a sad world we now live in....... I just got rid of my TIDAL. Had to get over my FOMA—oh no, I might not have access to everything! So less about the $20/month, more about getting more intimate with the hundreds of lps I own. I came to terms with the fact that having access to inf... | |
| So just how much vinyl do YOU own? 400-500 hundred? All good quality, many rare. Mostly Jazz and classical. Smaller section with some rock, blues, world. My source material is vinyl or hi-rez streaming. I see no reason to have vinyl of much of the new electronic music—of it was mad... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Right now, the Specials. Next, King Edwards Ska-Volution. Not sure what I will be in the mood for after that. Maybe some Jazz. . | |
| Why the facination with integrated amps? Desire is a tricky thought to master. Manufacturers work hard to keep us fromcontrolling ours. For the most part, they succeed and we all succumb in some area of life. I have a Naim Uniti Atom, Totem Signature Ones, my original Thorens from 30 yea... | |
| Turntables Luvrockin, so glad you’re getting good vinyl playback. Sounds like you still don’t know what caused the hum, but merely replaced one component to resolve the issue. I am am wondering if you are near any substantial source of RFI. We are near a lar... | |
| Is this the end of HEA? Lots of good insight on this thread. One of the additional cultural forces that ties in with the shortened attention span an earlier poster mentioned, in America at least, is a decline in the notion of excellence. Look at all the 5 star drivers on... | |
| Turntables Not sure I agree with the advice to buy new. But either way, you’ll want a reputable dealer who can work on it, and make sure your azimuth and vertical tracking are set up correctly. At at one point, it was thought that bet drives were more noise ... |
