| Qobuz Coming to Canada!!! Being one more, ahem, mature listener, I don't know how many current acts Qobuz features. I do have to say, though, that the selection is truly vast, and there'd be no reason why the Q wouldn't offer what you want the moment it's available to stre... | |
| Did the Old Receivers Sound Good? The NAD 3020 I took back to my tiny apartment for a shoot-out in the mid 1970's truly sounded better than the Kenwood KW-70 receiver I'd been using for the previous several years. It didn't make one whit of difference that the NAD put out consider... | |
| Hana ML teamed with Pro-Ject 1Xpression carbon classic and Rega Aria I enjoy my Hana ML a bunch. It may not be quite as 3D as the Lyra Delos it replaced in my Alphason/SOTA Sapphire set-up but it has more convincing tone quality. Orchestral strings are simply more natural. Dynamics and punch are about the same. The... | |
| How do you stop house guest from damaging your speakers? Hey, I'll let anybody and everybody look at my stereo, sit in the sweet spot and to listen to their choice of tunes. They can pull an LP from my shelf if they so wish but I politely tell them to please keep the LP in its sleeve. Naturally, I try t... | |
| How do you stop house guest from damaging your speakers? Heck, I keep my speaker grills attached even when I just play the stereo for my lonesome self. I also got to say that the few guests I’ve had in the stereo room were either too polite or too weirded out to put their fingers on the one component th... | |
| Just wow… Totally excellent! Thanks for posting it. She does fine service to one of Bowie's finest songs. She illuminates the utter despair that Bowie wanted to express. | |
| Did vinyl sales just hit the proverbial brick wall? @bdp24 When I lived in L.A. (my proverbial old home town), I had a succession of Three Series BMWs. All with manual transmissions. Loved 'em.' One of them purchased at the factory and used to cruise through Europe. And yes, it wasn't difficult at ... | |
| Did vinyl sales just hit the proverbial brick wall? @bdp24 I guess it's with motor vee-hickles where our tastes finally diverge. My pride-of-ownership car is a 2016 Mazda Miata me and the wife bought new off a dealer's lot in Northridge. It had apparently been sitting there for two years plus, pr... | |
| Do You Play Or Save Your Best Cartridges I listen to whatever I want to listen to. | |
| What causes Pops? For me, on a phonograph disc a pop can be caused by a large piece of dust or other hard object stuck in the groove. It can also be caused by a gouge. And when the object/gouge is deep or long enough, it can cause a skip foreword or an endless repe... | |
| Did vinyl sales just hit the proverbial brick wall? @bdp24 Hey, I was a nut for collecting and riding racing bicycles until my advancing age and ever-diminishing physical abilities told me it was time to let it pass on. I still, though, get a kick out of riding the one racing bicycle I still have -... | |
| Do You Play Or Save Your Best Cartridges I only did it a zillion years ago, when I had a record player that could play 78's. | |
| Did vinyl sales just hit the proverbial brick wall? @bdp24 Hey, thanks for reserving a copy of the LP for me but I'm a lazy guy and just cued it up on Qobuz. Yeah, I know. I'm piteous. A disgrace to my advancing age and audiophiliosis. The stream is maybe a bit more thuddy and midrangey than I rem... | |
| 50 years of Hip Hop- How Come? I love the attitude. I love the range of personal expression and the rhythmic vocal deliveries. My only problem is with the repetitive, endless Boom-Boom-Thud. | |
| A perfect song? What are your choices? @cd318 Yeah, I got to agree that Alfie is a strong contender for Best Song Ever Written. |
