| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? @thcarpathian That really is something. As a long time business economist I have a proposition for an audiophile manufacturer. Include a high end power cable. The margins have to be pretty large on after market cables and with bulk wholesale order... | |
| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? This may be a naive question, but I have yet to see this discussed on this forum or elsewhere: Why would a company that builds audiophile-level components intended for the most discriminating taste, which often cost 1000s and 10s of 1000s of dolla... | |
| Mazzy loves Little Feat! @lordmelton you might enjoy giving this a listen from Internet Archive. A SBD boot of Little Feat Live at London's Rainbow Theatre on 1977-08-02 w/ Tower of Power. Performed 4 or 5 nights after the Newcastle shows. https://archive.org/details/lf... | |

Archive. org -https://archive.org/details/pink-floyd-live-at-pompeii-1972-remastered This is Floyd as they transition from the Syd days to DSOTM and beyo... | |
| A rare opportunity (or at least I think it's rare) Good question. He just recently finished renovating a house and we talked about how to "build" a good sound system. Sooo...maybe! | |
| Neil Young somewhere under the Rainbow I think crappy sound is expected with this bootleg series, more a love of the music than the SQ. From Allmusic's Fred Thomas - "As with so many of the entries in Neil Young's Official Bootleg Series, Somewhere Under the Rainbow circulated as a ro... | |
| A rare opportunity (or at least I think it's rare) @condosound I have my system listed and by this forum's standards I'd call it mid-fi with aspirations for hi-fi. By the average joe's standards it is night and day better than what they listen to. Room treatments are something I'm in dire need of,... | |
| A rare opportunity (or at least I think it's rare) These kind of validations are what keeps you going. Lucky when you can get one. I might add this forum/community is pretty inspiring as well. | |
| A rare opportunity (or at least I think it's rare) @edcyn Cool! Lots of talent musicians that we will never hear about. A real crap shoot. | |
| What should I do - PS Audio DAC with or without Preamp I guess, bottomline is that a good preamp is the way to go. | |
| What should I do - PS Audio DAC with or without Preamp Finally, gave it a test and using the preamp with tube stage was the clear winner. | |
| What should I do - PS Audio DAC with or without Preamp @fuzztone Ultimately, sound better. Listening now through the preamp (Freya +) and it sounds pretty darn good. My big concern was that the PS Audio DAC is in a totally different "pay grade" than my preamp. I'll just have to experiment at some po... | |
| What should I do - PS Audio DAC with or without Preamp Thanks @ghdprentice and @donavabdear for the good advice and info. | |
| Some more modern jazz piano trios @simao Thanks for starting this discussion. Love piano jazz and I'm familiar with many but certainly not all of the suggestions. This will provide me many days of discovery and listening pleasure. |
