| Dynaudio focus 360 @twangy57 A few years ago I welcomed a PrimaLuna EVO 100 Tube Preamplifier to my rig and ended up with a similar situation that you have - a pairing issue. Voicing was slightly veiled on some tracks, and generally speaking, most tracks had the l... | |
| New preamplifier - Backert Rhumba Extreme, Aesthetix Calypso Signature, Ayre KX5 Twenty If all works out (uncertain) I will be buying an end game preamp this year. I have been considering the usual players mentioned here. I would love to jump on the Backert wagon but have one minuscule issue with the front plate. It does not have a ... | |
| OT: Espresso machines Erik - Yeah, I got a bunch of those for free. Big fail in creating a palatable chocolate flavor. Vanilla is OK with spoon of sugar. Way too hopeful that the Nespresso could produce a similar Latte Mocha that I can get at the local gas mart. In my... | |
| Need Recommendation for Coffee Shop Use a streaming service like Pandora Cloudcover. License fees are friendly. | |
| OT: Espresso machines I have just entered the world of Nespresso as of last Christmas. Definitely better than K cup crap. Always hated that K cups were plastic and heating anything in plastic is dubious to one's health. Little more expensive, and you need a frother, bu... | |
| FM radio reception I had a similar issue. I am located about 40 to 50 miles from Philly stations. Found a guy that installs roof antennas and he mounted a smallish channel master pro on the eve of my roof aimed at Philly towers. Results were not real good until h... | |
| Please tell me how to set up simple computer system @jbs You would have to technically explain how a computer - old one vs. new one - makes music sound better? If your music resides on a hard drive and the computer is merely passing on the X's an O's to a USB cable (which I have found does make ... | |
| DDC or Better Streamer? FYI - Schiit just came out with a balanced Mesh DAC with EQ and Preamp. Up to 32 bits/384 using USB input. Other inputs are 24/192. It has an optical input. Very few times will anyone (me, included) ever offer up a audio component that actually ... | |
| Speakers sound too bright. I had the Motion 40's (same tweeter) and then the upgraded AMT tweeter (bigger) in the ML 35XTi, which was a good bit better that I could not go back to the Motion 40's. The tweeter in the newest ML, the B100 (which is way more expensive) is the ... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @mahgister I don't think that young people right now are into jazz... It would seem implausible. Nobody has done a recent study on the subject, and I doubt it is a pressing matter for anyone at this point, so I would say that you just may be ... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @mahgister I like the idea of providing proof (works cited) to back up an opinion with facts as you have done. It's what you learn in college when you take breaks from binge drinking. To be fair, however, much of the information you shared is so... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato Beato also opines that there is no actual artistic engagement in mainstream pop/rock/country. For my birthday in October, my wife gifted me Post Malone's F-1 Trillion album. After listening for a day, I immediately traded/sold it. All the hooks... | |
| Favorite scream in rock? Pink Floyd. Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2. ...said to be influential in the development of Roger Water political philosophy.. fairly innocuous at the time, but Roger would continue to become obsessed with his political philosophies..as anyo... | |
| The last 20 years of Home Power Have Been Amazing @carlsbad2 While diaphragm gas meters are commonplace, your gas company should be actively looking to replace them as smart meters provide remote billing and can detect leaks. Kind of a thing nowadays ensure a house doesn't blow up! There is ev... | |
| The last 20 years of Home Power Have Been Amazing @bigtwin My brother is building a new home and I have volunteered to plan the basement bar and sound system, something that I did in 2011 when my home was built. In retrospect, I neglected to run dedicated lines - something I intend to fix in t... |
