| Bob Weir: "George Jones is my favorite musician." @bdp24 we are very much sympatico on that list (I listened to Loretta's Don't Come Home a-Drinkin'... on vinyl last night with my wife), although I am not very familiar with a lot of the newer artists you mention, but I will change that. For moder... | |
| Bob Weir: "George Jones is my favorite musician." Sorry, the above question was meant for you @bdp24 I just realized I didn't address anyone. More coffee, STAT! | |
| Bob Weir: "George Jones is my favorite musician." Always loved George "Possum" Jones, his tone, phrasing and pace are instantly recognizable. I often sing "The Grand Tour" to myself in the car - it has what I consider one of the best and saddest final stanzas in country (or any) music: There's h... | |
| Listening Room I move things around a bit when I want to do some "real" listening, then move it back when I'm done. | |
| Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama Maybe what we need is a movie about audiophiles like the one done for food in The Menu. @nonoise, spot on! | |
| Give Up on Bacch? I sat in the "sweet spot" at the Axpona demo for this product. It sounded fine, and "different" but also seemed very gimmicky overall. They played some stuff that had a bunch of flying insect sound effects and again, it was cool in the same way ... | |
| Meeting up with members even where there is no sale I will be there today, I have a white beard, wild eyes, and a hankerin' for the (musical) truth. I will definitely be checking out your gear, b2colchagoff - that is a beautiful piece of work and I'd love to see more. Looking forward to a fu... | |
| Audio quest Rocket 88 how good are they? I used a pair of Rocket 88 cables with Vandy 2CEs (not signature) in my main system for about 5 years, I thought they sounded great, no complaints whatsoever. They are also decently flexible, which was nice as the Vandersteen's binding posts aren... | |
| Getting into vinyl for the first time Welcome to the vinyl club! It is a thoroughly rewarding pursuit. Ignore the haters and have fun. That is a great cartridge and phono pre pairing, and replacement styli are inexpensive and easy to replace. That particular cartridge allows the li... | |
| Are You a Swifty? She seems genuinely nice and decent. Don't dislike her music necessarily, but I'm mos def with the "cue Joni" crowd. | |
| The Emperor Has No Clothes!! I drive a 2013 Toyota Yaris, I bought it new and it now has 230K miles on it. I hope this doesn't harm my audiophile cred. | |
| Trying to get bluetooth headphones connected for TV audio you should be able to use your phone as a remote with a Roku device. If you haven't already, download the Roku app and pair your bluetooth headphones to your phone. You should now be able to hear your headphones as long as they are "paired" in t... | |
| Placing your record on a spinning turntable. I can't imagine it being a problem as long as you keep using that felt mat on top of the platter. I wouldn't do what's being described with an acrylic or other hard material for fear of the micro scratches that would be the almost certain result. | |
| Starting a Classical Vinyl Music Collection I'm kind of in the same boat, although I just started with some Mahler, not for any particular reason other than I had liked what I'd heard at some point. I also have quite a few modern (avant garde?) composers that I've never really listened to s... | |
| What are your favorite songs or albums for illustrating a deep soundstage? Mahler's Symphony No.5 - I just listened to this record all the way through yesterday (DG, Kubelik conducting) and it's a very holographic recording, plus the fact that the music itself is amazing doesn't hurt. |
