| Do you admit that you ever enjoyed listening to: @czarivey - I agree with you about Quincy and the quality of the MJ recordings. Highly polished, excellent "product"...BUT (recognizing the irony here) for me, it ain't got no soul! Lack of a shared cultural experience, maybe. @gonetotc - I rea... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? UK - Danger Money (in memoriam John Wetton). | |
| Do you admit that you ever enjoyed listening to: Really like Fogelberg's "Netherlands". It contains some very strong songs.@gonetotc - Add "Abba" to your list. I'll 'fess up to them too. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Late afternoon not night, but regardless: U.K. "Danger Money". | |
| Do you admit that you ever enjoyed listening to: Yeah. Liked 'em and still do. So what? and what's it to ya?! :-)Not everything they ever did, of course. By the way, re Bee Gees, not the Saturday Night Fever stuff but way earlier...Odessa. They were more of a Prog Band back then. Talking l... | |
| R.I.P. John Wetton (King Crimson/Asia) Add to an impressive career his work in the band, U.K. (alongside some other noteworthy talents).Link to the NY Times obit mentioned above:https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/31/arts/music/john-wetton-rocker-with-king-crimson-and-asia-dies-at-67.html?... | |
| Van Alstine Trans 10RB vs. Freya Schiit. Which do you prefer and why?? That's your call, wout. You are not a "tube-o-phile", I take it. Don't think I am either...at least not to any exclusive extent. Consider ways to elevate and advance that discussion beyond the fixation on tubes. Provide further input similar t... | |
| Van Alstine Trans 10RB vs. Freya Schiit. Which do you prefer and why?? wout31- Good to read your positive comments. Have now had my Freya for two weeks and have somewhere in the range of 75 - 100 hours on it. In my system gain differences between pure passive and JFET are minor compared to tube mode. Apart from ga... | |
| Anthony Wilson, Frogtown--a great new music release Thanks for the heads up jb. It's on Tidal and I've saved it to My Favorites for later listening. | |
| Tune of the Day Captain Beefheart "My Head Is My Only House Unless It Rains" from Clear Spot...https://www.google.com/#q=clear+spot+captain+beefheart+in+my+head+is+my+only+house+unless+it+rains | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Captain Beefheart, "Clear Spot" | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Street Survivors - strong songs and a great reminder what good musicians the boys in 'Skynryd were. Sonics from this "Deluxe Edition" on Tidal are very good too. | |
| Looking to build a system for under $5k See these reviews about Schiit Audio components. In particular note the reviewers comments at the end of the Ygg review. (i.e., Ygg>>Rag>>KEF LS50). Maybe think Oppo universal player in place of the Ygg to save some bucks. Used wi... | |
| Van Alstine Trans 10RB vs. Freya Schiit. Which do you prefer and why?? Mechans - the OP’s inquiry did allow for observations about the individual preamps (i.e., "on their own"). Not owning a Van Alstine, I was only able to provide comparison to a 6H30-based preamp that I had found very satisfactory sound-wise. wout3... | |
| Quicksilver preamp 1 channel noise First, I am envious of your repair skills though not of the problem you face.In the absence of any similar ability on my part, were I in a similar situation, I'd definitely be trying to contact Mike Sanders at Quicksilver to see what help he might... |
