| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report @jafant You’ve probably done more than anyone to keep this thread alive! But dude, I mean, yeah, Donovan...good choice for the hour but yeesh, 3AM! Don’t you ever sleep? or maybe it’s shiftwork?? Do enjoy seeing what you listen to although DeBarge... | |
| Shunyata Research alpha hc vs Shunyata Research original black mamba @thyname Hello to you. Yes...your explanation is exactly the rationale I was given for choosing XC vs NR. | |
| Shunyata Research alpha hc vs Shunyata Research original black mamba @docknow No way for me to give you any kind of meaningful quantitative answer on the difference. I would characterize the benefit of the Delta v2 over the Alpha v1 as incremental vs the almost component level upgrade type improvement the Venom HC... | |
| Shunyata Research alpha hc vs Shunyata Research original black mamba I tried a Venom HC (v1) power cord on an Isotek Aquarius power conditioner. It provided a significant improvement to the sound over the as-supplied Isotek Premier cord. I also spent time listening with Delta NR v1 and v2 cords as well as an Alpha ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Responding to Inna...Great solo, yes...BUT - "Check out guitar GeorgeHe knows all the chordsMind, it’s strictly rhythmHe doesn’t want to make it cry or sing....".The CHORDS! is always where it’s at. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Traveling so the "system" here is MacBook Air >> Dragonfly Red to earbuds.Listened (and enjoyed) Cotton Mather's "Death of the Cool".Great lines from track 2, Close to the Sun...."I want you my love, but I feel destined for a different sort ... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? @jjss49 Agree with you about the ACT label. Quality repertoire. Kinda reminds me of ECM in that regard. Another recording to check out if you haven’t come across it (in somewhat the same style as the Liberetto music...similar "mood" anyway): Espen... | |
| ..so you think there's no need....... @stringreen Had a somewhat similar startling experience trying a v1 Venom HC power cord on a Taranis Class D amp. As I recall, it replaced a Pangea AC-9. Used Venom HCs come up for sale fairly often. Might be an option for you (a pair, for tha... | |

| What are you streaming tonight? @jlss49 Thanks for posting bout the Lars Danielsson. I have Liberetto I - III. Didn't know about Cloudland; something new to explore. Thanks. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Nutty - okay! I can hear what you like in that track. Great energy. GREAT playing. No shrinking violet she. Love her soloing when she stretches out. Definitely sounds like someone worth seeing/hearing live. BUT at the same time I quickly remembere... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Thanks, Nutty. I’ll have to check that specific JST live track later this evening. I know I’ve sampled her live stuff in the past...just didn’t click for me the way some of her studio albums do. But I’ll give her live another shot. Welcome, Speake... | |
| Uber expensive repair at United Radio Unlike some of the "deep pockets" around here, I’m sympathetic though I’m not so surprised about the hourly rate as by the time required. An explanation about why the repairs required 14 hours might make the final bill easier to accept. Fourteen h... | |
| Seeking advice on power conditioners/regenerators An Isotek Aquarius made a big difference for the better in the sound from my system (posted). I was very surprised having been, until recently, skeptical about power cord and power conditioner benefits. The improvement was not subtle. Music Dir... | |
