| Very basic subwoofer question Thanks for this. I look forward to checking it all out.-- Howard | |
| Headset for Zoom I'll report back once my wife has had the chance to try them out a time or three. That won't be right away, as they are set for delivery on Thursday, and she won't be doing a Zoom meeting until some point next week. But I'll definitely follow up. ... | |
| Headset for Zoom Thanks very much, Erik. My wife ordered one of these pairs this morning. I really appreciate your help.-- Howard | |
| LOOKING TO UPGRADE FROM BW 805 NAUTILUS TO COMPACT FLOOR STANDERS How about a pair of Dynaudio Confidence C1s? They are no longer made, but they can be had used for less than your price. I've never owned them, but heard them once in a store demo and was astonished by how much bass they delivered. (I used to own ... | |
| Help me understand John Coltrane .... seriously. Suppose one were to suggest that Coltrane, like all the jazz greats, is not only playing the song, but is also playing with the song at the same time. I'd suggest listening to "Summertime" as a great example. At points, it's "Summertime," the tune... | |
| Joseph Audio dealer in the northeast? Many years back, I knew The Music Store in Greenfield, Massachusetts, to be a Joseph Audio dealer. Though I've not been there in forever, when I just now checked online, I found they still listed Joseph Audio among the lines they carry. (http://th... | |
| What player to stream Amazon HD with? I'm using a Bluesound Node 2i, and have been quite enjoying the sound. That said, some of the specifics around Amazon Music HD can be quite annoying. For example, the search function is maddeningly cumbersome and sometimes comes back with results ... | |
| KLH 5 and KLH 355 " Barons" fire hazard concern Get ready for folks to make fun of you for being (properly?) concerned. That's what I saw when I posted a question about fire from a piece I read in Stereophile.https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/threat-of-fire-from-audio-equipmentI can't spea... | |
| My beloved CDP finally bit the dust I'm in a similar situation, as my CDP has been dying a very slow death. I, too, am thinking of the Cambridge transport, but have been looking at the oddly named Denafrips Ares DAC, mostly based on a recent review in CNet from Steve Guttenberg, a r... | |
| King Crimson on Streaming Services I can't speak to the economics of streaming, but I can say this: I saw King Crimson way back in the early 1980s, on the "Discipline" tour, and still consider it the best show I ever had the privilege of having witnessed. Also had the great pleasu... | |
| Death of Rock 'n' Roll When I listen to Jack White -- as a solo artist, as a member of the Raconteurs, as a member of The Dead Weather -- rock n' roll seems plenty alive to me. And that's to name but one guy. | |
| No love for 70's guitar bands? "The alternative was disco."Not necessarily. In 1977, The Clash, The Jam, and Talking Heads all released their debut albums. | |
| Qobuz on Bluesound in the U.S.? Thanks, Bob. How is it sounding? | |
| Threat of fire from audio equipment I can only assume that neither onhwy614 nor rodman99999 read the Stereophile piece that prompted me to start this thread and ask the questions I did. (link included above.) An excerpt: "I didn't get much sleep that night, owing to the lingering st... | |
| Threat of fire from audio equipment Thanks for your responses, all -- Al, especially. As of now, I'll be keeping everything turned off until shortly before it's time to listen. Peace of mind is worth a lot. |
