| Jazz for aficionados jafant - It’s about rabbits...a society of rabbits facing a crisis. BUT there’s a deeper story there for sure. Don’t agree with rok too often about music but will gladly support him on Watership Down. It is excellent. The amazing part to me (if me... | |
| Peter Frampton Acoustic Classics As Providence would have it, my wife suggested going by the local B&N store today for another item. Checked out their vinyl bins and sure enough Acoustic Classics was there. It's playing now. A nice heavy and quiet piece of vinyl. A slight... | |
| Peter Frampton Acoustic Classics daveyf - good write up and thanks for the recommendation. As a guitarist, PF is the real deal going back to his days w/Marriott and Humble Pie. I don't buy too much new release/"audiophile" vinyl but might just have to get this one based on your... | |
| Merrill Audio Veritas bigkidz - Merrill Audio is in NJ (Bernardsville). Dunno what facilities he has for auditioning but worth an email to him. Maybe you'll be able to work something out. (I have his Taranis amp) | |
| Schiit taking orders (as of Dec 23) on Freya preamp Glad to see others interested in this next phase of Schiit’s plan for audio world domination! :-) The FREYA certainly looks like a high value offering, lalitk.Will definitely be watching for reviews. Yes, JayC - They recently introduced the SAGA p... | |
| Balanced interconnect for Hegel H200 Have used Cabledyne Reference Copper XLRs and Audioquest Columbia XLRs from Gungnir DAC to Hegel H200. Prefer the clarity of the Columbias although these took some time for the bass to come in. Am curious about the AQ Colorados. Have also used... | |
| Warm-up time for amps and preamps I’m running a Class D Taranis by Merrill Audio. Got a bit concerned by rvpiano’s tech’s comment about "on with no input signal" being bad for Class D. Checked with Merrill W., the designer of the Taranis, since my usual practice is to power down a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman- Not to worry. No offense taken on Eldar. No time now to write more now, though. Later. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hello again, O. I did appreciate your concern that I might have been offended by your earlier comments about Eldar's take on "Moanin'". I was not offended and my subsequent comments really weren't intended as a defense of my "unique" point of vi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Mildly disappointed of course that those two Eldar tracks weren’t cause for celebration for the 3 of you. Your various reasons while valid for you personally don’t diminish my enjoyment of him. Easy to get mesmerized by the technical fireworks but... | |
| Jazz for aficionados A non sequitar relative to the current discussion, but...YIKES! Hope he has a fire extinguisher near at hand. Seems to me there is significant risk of the piano catching fire.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHYSb-o0AUs&ab_channel=EldarDjangiro... | |
| tube preamp repair - southern NJ / Phila. area / Wilmington, DE area Contact Stephen Monte at Quest for Sound in Bensalem, PA. He might be able to help. He does mods and repairs on gear he sells. Don't know if he'll take on 3rd party gear (40 years old!). Worth asking. | |
| Greg Lake RIP Sorry to read this news. Thought he had a wonderful voice and enjoyed his bass playing very much. Take a Pebble and Still You Turn Me On sound great all these years later."Every day a little sadder...a little madder." | |
| Jazz for aficionados O - Your compliment much appreciated. Flattered, actually. That jazz remark you attribute to me was really a takeoff on what you yourself had posted.Depending on context - call it "soul", magic, inspiration, emotional connection, spark (you get my... | |
| Bluesound products to add to hifi satisfaction? You are welcome 2psyop. Might re-post that Aries Mini info as you suggest. I did not know all that much about it when I got it. The whole computer/ streaming thing was/is still pretty new to me. I expect you will enjoy the BlueSound Node2. Th... |
