| Dick's / Dave's picks @jriggy You’ve stated--more eloquently--what I was trying to get at. For pure energy and enjoyment, I'd take the original recordings over the new remixes. Before the Dead put an end t it, I downloaded hundreds and hundreds of soundboard shows from... | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? The Grateful Dead “They aren’t the best at what they do, they are the only ones that do what they do” Bill Graham | |
| Dick's / Dave's picks I think these are great shows, but there's something about the vocal mix that's a bit off. I have a soundboard recording of the 5/19/74 show and I definitely like that version better than the new Pacific North West mix. This is most evident on Bl... | |
| This is juvenile... Nerina Pallot | |
| Dick's / Dave's picks My copy is arriving tomorrow as well. I have MP3 versions of these shows, some of which are audience recordings (which don't sound great). I’m looking forward to better sound quality from the box set. | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 @d2girls I ran the Harbeth with all but the SETs. With the SET amps (< than 2 Watts from the 45s), I used a pair of Vaughn Triodes, they were 97 dB efficient and had integrated amplified subs. The best matches for the Harbeth in my system were ... | |
| Dick's / Dave's picks I just got around to listening to DP 27, I would agree that it's not very good. But, in all fairness, I'm I don't really like many of the 80s shows.I am looking forward to the Pacific Northwest box set, though. | |
| Has Anyone Uesed A PrimaLuna Amp With Harbeth Speaker's I’ve owned a few pairs of Harbeth speakers, initially I thought high powered solid state amps sounded best. That was, until, I tried the HL5+ with a high quality tube amp (Air Tight ATM-2). The Air Tight amp puts out 85 Watts, which was more than ... | |
| Grateful Dead May 77 Box Set Announced There is vinyl, it's just the Cornell show (5 total LPs). The vinyl is not from the original analogue tape. | |
| Grateful Dead May 77 Box Set Announced I ordered the complete box set, but I'm also wondering if the digital download will be 24/192 and represent a decent improvement in sound quality. | |
| WORST Experience Ever in Dealing With Woodbridge Stereo NJ @czarivey The cost of freight could be twice the cost of the item, which is why I specifically indicated that I use freight for more expensive/heavy items. As as an example, I recently purchased an amp for $5K that weighed approx. 100 lbs. The cos... | |
| WORST Experience Ever in Dealing With Woodbridge Stereo NJ I've started to ship, and receive, heavier and more expensive gear via a freight carrier. The item ships strapped to its own dedicated pallet and, in my experience, arrives in perfect condition. The cost is roughly double, but you get what you pay... | |
| Berkeley vs Bryston vs Lampizator I’ve had a Lampizator L4, Lite 7 (actually two of them) and now a Big 7. The Big 7 has the newest R2R PCM engine and super clocks--it’s in another league compared to the previous DACs I’ve owned (PS Audio DS, Aqua La Scala, Auralic Vega, and previ... | |
| Best standalone music server? I have the Antipodes DX; it automatically rips CDs to uncompressed FLAC, runs the Roon core natively and the sound is simply amazing. If you can swing it from a budget perspective, you won’t be disappointed. I’ve also had an Aurender N100H, for th... | |
| Dave's Picks 21 & 22 I'm also looking forward to the Dave's Picks Felt Forum show. I have an MP3 soundboard of the 12/7/71 show, the Smokestack Lightning is pretty amazing. |
