| Ginger Baker passes away Loved him. Always looked like death's door, too, though he was obviously a very healthy guy. Saw him once at the L.A. Forum with Blind Faith. | |
| How loud do you play music? I figure it's low 80's except probably when it's John Coltrane. | |
| Has anybody tried Qobuz Streaming service? Just got Qobuz on trial. Far better fidelity IMO than Tidal, and I actually find the interface easier to manage. My problem is this -- More often than I'd like, transmission tends to cut off before a track ends. Usually, I can get it working ag... | |
| An enjoyable evening watching "Country Music Live At The Ryman" on AZ PBS. bdp24 -- I saw the Byrds at the Aquarius Theater in Hollywood when they were going through all their personnel problems. That very evening, apparently, they had just become a trio, McGuinn, Chris Hillman and one of those drummers. A member of th... | |
| MQA - Music Discussion I continue to dial twiddle. I currently find that, when streaming, any slow roll-off filter gives APDZ a serious run for its money. And oh yeah, my turntable still outperforms the other sources more often than not. That doesn't mean, though, th... | |
| An enjoyable evening watching "Country Music Live At The Ryman" on AZ PBS. I'm old enough to have seen Clarence White when he was with the Byrds. Was it at the Troubadour in West Hollywood? Was it at a joint in Pasadena? The mem'ry fades. I do remember, though, how he burned up (or was that hogged?) practically every ... | |
| Vinyl and Lyngdorf TDAI-3400? Yeah, I auditioned a Lyngdorf a few years ago, too. Naturally, I can't remember the model. I dragged my speakers and my PrimaLuna to the store, and got the guys-in-charge to conduct the comparison. Even the salesmen thought the PrimaLuna sounded... | |
| MQA - Music Discussion You got me dial-twiddling with the Brooklyn's filter settings. Who knows if I'll stick to my latest setting, but right now APDZ -- apodizing fast roll off, linear phase -- is my current fave. Best orchestral tone. Widest, deepest image. No bas... | |
| Quicksilver Mono 120 vs. Quicksilver V4 noromance -- My sad-happy tale. A bit peeved at the idea of keeping the Quickie fed with fussy, short-lived, no-longer-manufactured 8417s, I decided to simplify my life and shop for an integrated. I tested a variety of them at various hi-end sto... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? mitchchavis --- Hey, that Dylan Mr. Tambourine Man verse ("Take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind") is my number one lyric of all-time, too. Then there's David Bowie's verse from the album Aladdin Sane -- "Jung the foreman prayed... | |
| MQA - Music Discussion I have a Mytek Brooklyn Bridge. The only place I've heard MQA has been through Tidal and, yes, MQA does slightly improve the sound in all respects. A bit more image. A bit more space. A bit better tone quality. A bit less hash. A bit easier to... | |
| Can quality sound be had using the short axis in a medium sized room (12X15) ?? Don't be afraid to experiment. Keep an open mind and an open set of ears, but don't forget the details. Where are the electrical outlets? Sometimes you got to be willing to haul your Mt. Everest of LPs to a different wall. Sometimes the floor g... | |
| An enjoyable evening watching "Country Music Live At The Ryman" on AZ PBS. The wife and I love the Ken Burns doc beyond all reason. It works even for the most shallow of reasons. Anybody else stare goggle-eyed at all those Martin guitars? | |
| Audio Truisms or Plinthy statements You will be doing yourself a big favor if....! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Genesis, A Trick of the Tail. |
