| A lot of hype about PS Audio, deservedly so ? @jzaz +1 Lucky you getting the BHK 300s! Paul McGowan is one of the nicest guys in audiodom. | |
| "Original" equipment vs. upgraded equipment The value of an upgrade has a great deal to do with who is upgrading it and the degree to which it is being upgraded. The upgrades I mentioned in my previous post involved new circuit boards, replacing the originals with upgraded capacitors, resi... | |
| Bi Wiring for speakers question @will62 Amen brother!😇 | |
| "Original" equipment vs. upgraded equipment Great thread topic! I have been a fan of buying solidly built well designed gear within a price point that worked for me with the intention of having it modified by either the OEM or a technician who specialized at working on that gear. Decades a... | |
| Diana Krall @rpeluso Thoughts? Yep. Tearing down well known, beloved artists in favor of the more obscure, at least in the modern sense, makes the naysayers feel like they have a superior musical understanding. Inferiority breeds contempt. 😬 | |
| Diana Krall @mattmiller Thanks for mentioning Kandace Springs. I just sampled "Soul Eyes" on amazon and am sold. Like you said very fresh sound beautifully recorded as is Bluenote's practice. Just ordered the CD! | |
| Diana Krall @rpeluso I've read several such positive critiques of her on stage performances. Perhaps I should see her live as her studio albums somehow leave me cold at times. I've had the same issue with Norah Jones. However, just this past week I pulle... | |
| Quincy Jones Interview +1! @geoffkait The greatness of the Beatles is in the subtleties of their performance and even more obviously in the brilliance of their compositions. Hendrix played a helluva hot axe, but Quincy was more of a producer than performer. I thought ... | |
| Quincy Jones Interview @gareneau I read this on my phone a few hours ago. Could a break down in his mental faculties be at play here?🤪 | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic @perfectpathtech Hey I have no dog in this hunt. Would a decent compromise with Ozzy be to send him a very small amount of your current production TC so he can try it on a few fuses or whatever in his system? I know you don't want to be giving p... | |
| Best Speakers with a DNA-1? Geez, another big +1 for gdnrbob. I agree with everything he said as long as you buy a recent iteration of whatever Vandy speaker you decide upon. RV does too many upgrades to his designs over time to go with an old version of any of his models.... | |
| How expensive are best NOS tubes ? And how difficult to find ? If you are interested in reasonably priced cryogenically treated tubes, contact Ron Sheldon at Cryoset. His cryo'd new production Gold Lion tubes sound great and seem to last forever. http://www.cryoset.com/catalog/index.php | |
| Best Speakers with a DNA-1? @cheeg "I’m sure it’s true that Vandersteen keeps improving their line, but have they changed them enough to make them better than the Vandys in the used market?" The answer to your question above depends upon when the used speaker was manufacture... | |
| Publish the age of your component when selling (let's discuss) A good reason to know the manufacture date is the updating that manufacturers do over time to their gear without changing model designations. Vandersteen Audio is famous for this as RV's designs are never final. As he does R&D for potential ... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic @geoffkait If you don't respond, well... it was nice knowing' ya 😮 |
