| Jazz for aficionados Ah...okay, Frogman. I’m thinking it might be the breathier reed sound of the sax that I picked up on. Didn’t realize one was in use. I heard a softer leading-edge texture and that's what made me think a synth had been used. While I don’t know enou... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @acman3 - ...and for the Matthew Stevens recommendation. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks for introducing me to that particular piece by Frisell, @acman3. I’m enjoying it and have found on Spotify the full Blues Dream album it is from. That’s not anything I’d come across previously or had in my Spotify album collection. I do exp... | |
| Top Five rock Bass players Add Stanley Clark to the list, Stevecham.(glad someone included Jaco!) | |
| Advice on best upgrade path for a Mac Mini setup Thanks @jond Should be here later today for Saturday. I take it 5 ghz is a wireless channel choice in the set up menu? I will look for that option and keep your recommendation in mind. Later. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman - Battle performing Bachianas Brasileires No. 5 is quite something. It might not be opera but the vocal skills are certainly derived from that. @alexatpos If you’ve never seen the 1981 film, Diva, I hope you will. If you have already, then... | |
| Advice on best upgrade path for a Mac Mini setup Gents - FWIW, have ordered the Aries Mini. Hoping set up is not too problematic. Downloaded Lightning DS to my iPhone. Plan to the feed ALAC files to the Aries from a an external powered USB Hard Drive and output via Coax to my Gungnir. A bit ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I’m behind a good deal in the discussion(s) and links recently posted here. Frogman, As usual great comments. Well articulated. I don’t have the expertise but your MJ vs Bily Ocean comparison of "objective" merit strikes me as correct. The only po... | |
| Advice on best upgrade path for a Mac Mini setup In dbtom’s defense, his comments were on the mark relative to the OP’s inquiry.(not that he needs my defense) | |
| Advice on best upgrade path for a Mac Mini setup @rbstehno Hi and thanks for that detailed history. The Aries Mini does sound interesting. My music is on a Western Digital powered external hard drive so I'm not tied to a device with internal drive to hold it. The good news now is that Auralic... | |
| Advice on best upgrade path for a Mac Mini setup Hi @jond. Thanks. I had read that and did understand it could do ALAC. My uncertainty was about whether it could read those files from a powered, external Western Digital hard drive. Wasn’t sure I could assume that simply from your NAS experience. | |
| Advice on best upgrade path for a Mac Mini setup Tom - BTW-read you post about sonics during the Sunday service at the old Baptist church. Well written. Felt like I had been there. Thanks for your input. The Apple Mac Mini is something I have been thinking about too. Thought the Aries Mini... | |
| Advice on best upgrade path for a Mac Mini setup Good timing! @jond . Auralic Aries Mini - that just might be the ticket. Do you know whether I'd be able to play my ALAC formatted burned CDs direct from a 2TB Western Digital powered hard drive? I see it supposed to be able to recognize ALAD, ... | |
| Advice on best upgrade path for a Mac Mini setup Hey, Erik - thanks. I could have been clearer in my question. I am NOT against computer-based playback at all, 'cept I keep hearing how dedicated/non-multipurpose music servers provide better sound than a general purpose computer. I do apprecia... | |
| Advice on best upgrade path for a Mac Mini setup Folks - is there a sub-$1000 option for NON-computer based playback of ripped CDs from hard drive? Stuff like Antipodes and Aurender are way more $ than I’m prepared to spend. Thanks. Hoping this might be of interest to the OP too. Working on savi... |
