| Your top 3 most EMOTIONALLY intense live concerts, and top 3 EMOTIONALLY intense records. I'll offer up four.Springsteen at the L.A. forum for the Darkness at the Edge of Town tour. Record company seats, thanks to the fact my sister worked at A&M Records at the time. Led Zeppelin at the Rose Palace in Pasadena, just after the sec... | |
| MQA is for chumps When I was in the market to try streaming, I bought a Mytek Brooklyn Bridge because it came with MQA capability. I gave the process a fair shot and, yes, it did improve sound quality a bit over Tidal's bread-and-butter streaming. The trouble was t... | |
| Suggestion for Audiogon Forums In the words of Billy Joel, "I love you just the way you are." | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados rvpiano -- yeah, been lovin' that Currentzis Figaro. Yeah, eventually the rapid tempi tire me out a little but all told it's a recording to treasure. | |
| HiDef streaming troubles Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I've tried them all, but ya' never know. BTW, I have not made a single change to my set-up since before the troubles began. Yeah, maybe a cable switch. Yes, my Windows laptop is always updating itself. And, ... | |
| HiDef streaming troubles Whenever I communicate with Qobuz, Qobuz rep Sebastian(?) always assures me that I should be...and am enjoying Hi-Res. In other words, I'm at a loss here. Hi-Res has also seemed to disappear from my Primephonic subscription. Now it's only once in... | |
| HiDef streaming troubles I've had Studio since Day 1. As far as I know, the Hi-Res option has been selected since Day 1, as well. For a good year I was getting Hi-Res via my Mytek BB whenever it was offered. It's only in the past couple months that my Hi-Res ability has ... | |
| Suggestion for Audiogon Forums True, the term "snake oil" truly needs to be given a vacation, but there's no questioning the passion of the folks that inhabit this website. We love our music and we love hearing it at its best. I enjoy the feistiness that permeates this website.... | |
| HiDef streaming troubles I just rebooted both the router and the Mytek BB streamer. No luck. I can't get higher than CD quality on Qobuz. | |
| HiDef streaming troubles Internet speed is currently 170 with Primephonic streaming CD quality. I am 5G. Yes, my Qobuz setting is 24/192kHz. I'll give the rebooting a try. Thanks guys! I'll thank you even more when I'm High Deafen-ing again... | |
| Why do some think "music" (not gear, trading, etc.) is the ultimate end? hilde45 -- Your post eloquently brings this discussion to its finish. By the infinite power vested in me, the august edcyn, I hereby declare this thread closed! | |
| The myth of "best" in audio needs to be addressed by all of us Right now I'm enjoying one of Primephonic's playlists curated by one of the website's editors. The focus is on the Other Bachs, the ones whose first names aren't Johann Sebastian. Sound is singularly lovely. Image. Timbre. Cleanliness, Ambience. T... | |
| High quality vinyl bdp247 -- Thanks for giving us some insight into the arcane chicanery. | |
| High quality vinyl It’s all a matter of pushing product and of dollars & cents. If the company thinks a recording might be attractive to the audiophile/high-end crowd, they’ll manufacture these special Audiophile editions...and charge a bit more for them, too. | |
| Help! Antiskate with only a weight...no dial, and she's skating away! I adjust my anti-skating by putting on a test LP that I got along with my Shure V15 cartridge sometime in the previous century. There's a decent-sized "track" on it where there are literally no grooves, just un-grooved vinyl. You put the needle on... |
