| Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters Ruins the Song ‘Money’! Another case where I have to separate the artist from the art. I think a lot of his work is fantastic, but that doesn't mean I subscribe to his world view. I still love Annie Hall, but I don't condone Woody's behavior over the last (checks calen... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? +1 edcyn I found a copy of the PP original soundtrack on vinyl at the goodwill last weekend (set me back 1 dollar). Brought it home and cleaned it, and it is spectacular - I don't believe the copy had ever been played and it sounds new. It's def... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @bkeske Thanks! I am trying to get into some classical music after stumbling along on this big marble for 54 years, and your posts are very helpful in that regard. Mostly "modern" stuff like Shoenberg, Crumb, and Shostakovich so far but I'm t... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Zappa - The Grand Wazoo Devo - Oh No It's Devo Willie Nelson - Stardust Roberta Flack - Killing Me Softly | |
| What happened to all the highend stereo shops this thread is actually pretty hilarious. the fact that someone lives his or her life according to a 5000 year old book of fairy tales gives me all the information I need about that person: keep back 500 feet and avoid eye contact. I'm sure there'... | |
| Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO or Rega Planar 1 or Music Hall MMF-2.3 for casual listening? another vote for the Project Evo. | |
| So you just took a gummie...What song is on the menu? Moody Blues - Days of Future Passed Rush - 2112 | |
| Múnich 2023 Pro-ject Dark side of the moon turntable jeez what a collection of sourpusses up in here. sure, it's gimmicky, but I don't mind a spoonful of whimsy when it comes to product design, and it is the 50th anniversary of DSOTM after all. I'm guessing it's not a bad sounding turntable, based o... | |
| Favorite Guitar Solo Watermelon in Easter Hay is transcendent indeed. Another Zappa face melter is at the 2:00 mark on What's New In Baltimore on Meets the Mothers of Prevention. | |
| Shootout: Roon versus Plex, Qobuz versus Tidal: Who Won? I subscribe to Spotify and Qobuz. Spotify for whole house system; family convenience (playlists, deep catalog) and Qobuz for the ol' two channel setup. I tried Tidal but Qobuz just sounded closer to my vinyl rig, which I prefer to any digital sour... | |
| How many of you streaming? I use streaming for background music, or aural wallpaper, but I still prefer listening to albums in their entirety because otherwise Qobuz will start throwing a bunch of music I don't like out there. I like streaming for the convenience, especiall... | |
| SEEKING AN AMPLIFIER THAT MATES WELL WITH MARTIN LOGAN 11 A IMPRESSIONS My main system speakers are Impressions. I use a Classe CA-D200 (class D, 200wpc/8Ω amp paired with an ARC LS7 (tube) preamp and I've never had the urge to change either. The CA-D200 provides excellent bass control, silky midrange, and effortless... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Joni Mitchell - Miles of Aisles George Crumb - A Haunted Landscape | |
| What sonic qualities connects to you deeply and emotionally? the warm embrace of early/mid-70s synth from Stevie Wonder's run of four magical albums: Music of My Mind, Talking Book, Innervisions, Fulfillingness First Finale and Songs In the Key of Life. Joni's voice, Zappa guitar solos, the part in "If I ... | |
| Tune of the Day @bgross +1 that whole album is pretty spectacular! |
