| Any Decemberists fans out there? I am a fan of singer/songwriters in general so it makes sense to me to enjoy Decemberists. Also, I like music that tells a story and Colin is certainly one for that! | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Decemberists, Lake Song | |
| Favorite religious song I don't "believe" in religion. | |
| everything sounded great until the upgrade One thing to double check when switching out gear is to make sure everything is in phase. I know that’s pretty basic like, “is it plugged in” but that’s the starting point. Make sure your connections didn’t get crossed. | |
| The Music at AXPONA 2022 Here’s what I don’t get. Not only do most rooms play terrible music but at the same time there is always that incessant din of people talking. My position with audio is, if the music is playing then stfu! But then, I cannot listen to music while I... | |
| Songs that sound like Dylan Another comment about Tom Petty. The first time I heard him I thought, this guy is the next Bob Dylan. Then he started on the whole sing songy whinny thing and I couldn’t listen to him anymore. | |
| most beautiful (looking) speakers Despite their classic shape, I have always been enamored with Daedalus speakers and yes, Jim Salk makes beautiful looking speakers as well. I have always appreciated the look of Tannoy as well. The Canterbury’s are just gorgeous. | |
| OCD audio guy naming shady Audiogon dealers by name OCD Mickey is an acquired taste I would argue. If you listen to his vids he really does seem to know his stuff. Maybe you can’t afford the equipment he suggests but then it doesn’t mean he is wrong. He’s a big proponent of Jeff Rowland amps so how... | |
| Scam Alert I use paypal regularly and have had no problem. Link a bank account? Of course, that’s how e-commerce works these days. I always keep the bank paypal account separate from my normal accounts to keep it safe. You deposit $5.00 open a checking accou... | |
| Warm, rich, smooth, 3d tube integrated amp, budget $6000 On my short list is Octave Audio. Perhaps the V70SE? | |
| What is the Bu-ray plauyer that you are using? I use an Oppo 103D for Blu Ray and for streaming. I recently added an Amazon Fire Stick sine the firmware on the Oppo is getting outdated. It works like a champ now and I feed it through my Holo Audio DAC for sound. | |
| No love for Legacy Audio Well, I have a pair of Focus SE’s in my main system driven by Plinius amps and a Holo Audio DAC and I can tell you my system sounds amazing. I also have a pair of Signature III’s in my second system paired with an integrated tube amp and it sounds... | |
| I wonder what you would think if we scheduled a monthly Zoom Meeting? I have the solution. There is a link for audio clubs right? Start an “online” audio club with someone acting as moderator and have monthly zoom meetings as a component of that club. Those who would like to join can and those who don’t want to won’... | |
| Adelaide speakers Wow, how did you get your hands on a pair? I think I would buy a pair from him sight unseen if he would ship them. I want to drive them with a tube integrated. Can you tell me what you’re using for an amp? | |
| Adelaide speakers Just wanted to continue this thread. I ran across Adelaide speakers recently and am interested in the valve series V1093AQTL. They play down to 26hz and are 96 db efficient at 1w/1m. Tell me another speaker that does that for anywhere near the pri... |
