| Is the DAC the digital equivalent of a cartridge. It's a fun analogy, but I really don't know how true or significant it really is. Also, doesn't the gospel regarding analog components proclaim that it is the turntable...the thing that spins the record around...that is the most important? | |
| Ridiculous resale price of vintage equiment Stop shopping. Stop obsessing. Put on a record, CD, the net or any other source. Turn it up. | |
| For all you Bose 901 Haters! My dad bought a pair. Loud. Gigantic,room-filling sound. This was before precise imaging meant much in high-fidelity, however, so when true, accurate imaging became popular the Bose sound became more the object of derision than anything a kan-nois... | |
| Lieder anyone? I don't care if I can't understand the words that are being sung. It's the sound, more accurately the noises that are produced, that do it for me. Yeah I have a passing familiarity with most of the languages that lieder are sung in, but even when ... | |
| Vote Your Ranking -If you have an opinion on this digital subject Ya know, I really could care less if I actually own the file/LP/whatever that I want to play. If I can reliably keep what I want to hear at my beck 'n call, that's fine by me. I must say, too, that I'm totally in love with streaming classical. I f... | |
| Music that swings Motown. | |
| Vote Your Ranking -If you have an opinion on this digital subject I'll stick my neck (or ears) out and put Streaming as best, followed by SACD, CD,and then by stuff on my computer and various storage devices...most of which unfortunately are mp3. It's not that the mp3's sound out-and-out bad, however. They're ju... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Schubert Symphony No. 8 (9) in C major. "The Great." Ricardo Muti and the Vienna Phil. Currently listening to it on Idagio. One of the sweetest, most spacious DG orchestral recordings I’ve heard. Singing. Beautifully paced. | |
| How do you tell your Cartridge needs replacing? When sibilances sound spitty & rough when they didn't before. When violins that previously sounded smooth sound saw-toothed. When your favorite guitar player's guitar sounds fuzzy when it used to sound clean. When did that dude buy that fuzz... | |
| Contenders are here Enjoy the heck out of 'em! Listening to my Boxers right now. The only component in my system that's never given me trouble and has never failed to satisfy my ears. | |
| About users with hidden agendas Okay, let's get back to the fun. Trannies are tinny! Tubies are tubby! Analog ain't awful, it's awesome! Digital ain't dismal, it's delightful! | |
| Tidal vs Qubuz - Steely Dan "Jack of Speed" Find your favorite streaming source and live happily. It's great, too, that the streaming sources each have their own personalities. Not to mention separate sets of ears. | |
| How long ago did you catch the bug? Birth. What can I say? Mom & dad played records from before I was cognizant. | |
| Where can I go to audition vinyl audio around Los Angeles area? Try Shelley's Stereo in Woodland Hills. A store of quality. I've bought my share of stuff from them. | |
| West Side Story SOUNDTRACK - Spielberg Version I totally love the new West Side Story soundtrack. The voices are characterful & marvelous. I think Gustavo Dudamel actually out-conducts whoever conducted the Original Broadway Cast recording, who I read once is Bernstein, himself. (No conduc... |
