| Whats playing on your system today? Hey Nutty - Glad you picked up on the keyboards. I was going to mention them but did not. It’s Lou Martin, formerly of Killing Floor.I enjoy his playing a lot. He can burn up that electric piano. There’re a few clips of him in a great Rory Gallagh... | |
| Getting good sound from MacBook via DAC. @sbank Hi Spencer -Thanks for the input.I might not be understanding all that the microRendu does but what I like about the Aries Mini is that it can stream Tidal, Spotify & internet radio wirelessly. In addition, I can use it to play ripped C... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O - I know what you mean about the tangible thing. With the download files, you can of course burn them to a CD if you want. I'm holding out for a physical CD myself so will let you know when the Sonic Pieces on-line shop re-opens. @jafant - ch... | |
| Getting good sound from MacBook via DAC. Ran a MacBook Air via USB out to a Gungnir DAC for a good long while. Listened to ripped CDs from external hard drive and also to Spotify from the MBA. I was very happy with the sound. Sounded better than direct from the CDP. But then, maybe I’m n... | |
| Dust Off compressed air to get dust off of vinyl records + 1 for what rotarius wrote. I’ve occasionally tried to use Dust Off but sometimes something (condensation?) puts some liquid on the record. Doesn’t seem like a good idea. A brush definitely works if dampened but must take care not to over wet it ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Hey, O - good luck getting the Lavandula CD. First run sold out at "Sonic Pieces", the Berlin label he records on. 2nd edition was produced but their on-line shop is closed until Jan 25. I did find a downloadable version available at Junodownlo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Very pleased to hear your take on it as a musical journey, O.After I posted the link was thinking exactly that and how it related to your earlier post. The whole LP does indeed make for a nice musical journey. Master Nishimoto is a superb tour gui... | |

| Why are low impedance speakers harder to drive than high impedance speakers I ain’t Al but one of the few things I sort of understand about electronics is Ohm’s law. From WikipediaOhm’s law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points. Introdu... |
