| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! When you all rip your 4000 cds or 10000 cds, do you throw the files willy nelly into a nas drive (hoping metadata will save you) OR do you organize a folder tree by root folder genre --’>> Artist name folder (alphabetical) ---->>... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? I listened to Michael Fremer’s YouTube recorded visit to the Audiophile Foundation where he recommended an LP he was involved in producing. Its title is Rufus Reid and Caelin Cardello, just a piano and an upright double bass player. The theme is... | |
| An audio component you just can't let go I like to joke that when I die someone has to bury my Quad ESL-63 electrostatic speakers with me because there is absolutely no way I am going to be parted from them. Fate was kind to me because she put a stray copy of Opera News in my doctor’s o... | |
| An audio component you just can't let go That’s easy. My Musical Fidelity A3cr preamplifier. I bought it barely used too many years ago to remember. It started out in my main audio system, got moved to my TV system and then moved to my desktop computer audio system. I’m not using my... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? I have been listening to Korngold:s wonderful Symphony in F Sharp with Rudolph Kempe. This is often the recommended version of this symphony to listen to, but it’s the only version I have so I can’t comment on its placement per the critics. Wha... | |
| All in One amp up to $7k I have been an owner of two Audiomat tube integrated amplifiers for over twenty years. I first bought the Audiomat Arpege and LOVED it. A few years later I had an opportunity to buy an Audiomat Prelude Reference MKII that had been a demo. I’m stil... | |
| Roon isn't stable and they edit their forum to hide it I’m a Roon lifer. I joined about 4 years ago. I’ve had my share of problems but they have all been about Windows, not about Roon. My only disappointment with Roon is their support model. It depends on helpful users. I don’t know what motivates... | |
| The Allure of Vintage Audio Gear I have 3 vintage Pioneer Stereo Receivers. two SX-105”s and an SX-950. I bought the first SX-1050 new in 1978 and was thrilled to own it. It sounded great at the time. It went down in the 90s. My boyfriend at the time, an EE with a Master... | |
| Electrostatics and tubes I have owned Quad ESL-63s electrostatic speakers since I imported them from England in March of 1985. I imported Quad amp and preamp at the same time but eventually replaced the electronics with a tube amplifier, an Audiomat Arpege integrated amp... | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! Quoting Mahler 123: itturns out that there isn’t a single software program that I’ve encountered-and I’ve tried many, including Roon-that can organize Classical Music. I can find CDs faster on my shelf than in the media libraries. Also many of th... | |
| Ethernet cables May I suggest Blue Jeans Cable for replacing your Ethernet cables. They are the only place I trust to make a cable to proper specifications. They test every cable that it meets spec and they even include a paper indicating the measurements. Th... | |
| Anyone listen to entire albums? This is easy to answer. I play albums. I don’t think I’ve ever just selected a track to play unless I’m listening to a selection on an album I like so much that I replay it in situ and when it’s finished the album play continues. i grew up i... | |
| Anyone listen to entire albums? This is an easy question to answer, I listen only to albums. I am habituated to albums having started collecting LPs in 1956. When tape cassettes became popular I got a Nakamichi tape player and began copying LPs to listen that way to save wear on... | |
| Ethernet Cables - what are you using and why? This is a no-brainer. Blue Jeans cable is the cable to buy. If you read their website you will discover that BJC has tested Ethernet cables from other manufacturers and has found that very few cables make their spec. Cat 6 cables might be cat 4 ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I love threads like this, though to be honest, I wonder how much anyone actually reads what everyone is listening to. But I will happily take my turn, in part because I haven’t been using my newly restored Bang & Olufsen Beogram 4004 turntable... |
