| John Mayall has passed away My favorite Eric Clapton guiltar playing was on 'John Mayall and the Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton', aka 'the Beano album'. He sure ushered in a lot of British blues greats.... | |
| Relaxed/Analog sounding DAC for under $10k (used or new) If you're looking for an analog-sounding type of DAC, Chord may not be the best fit for you. They are excellent DAC's, for sure, but not many will accuse them of having a relaxed, analog type of sound. I've had a Hugo II and I've had a DAVE, with ... | |
| If Steely Dan had a different vocalist @thelonious527 - His point was that if Steely Dan had a different singer, they might sound like this band Monkey House he's talking about. When I first saw the headline, I thought the same as you, though.... | |
| Relaxed/Analog sounding DAC for under $10k (used or new) I've had a Holo Audio May KTE DAC for the past 4 years or so, and I am very happy with its performance; that was under $10K, complete with separate power supply. | |
| AI-Written Stereophile Articles I've read terrible English-language writing, spelling, grammar, syntax, etc all over the internet and all over society for decades now; AI was not required for it; if anything, it might be better than what I read from a lot of humans. | |
| DCS Sending Legal Notice To Reviewer (Golden Sound) Over an Old Review of Their Bartok DAC @jimmyblues1959 + 1 @mahler123 + 1 | |
| DCS Sending Legal Notice To Reviewer (Golden Sound) Over an Old Review of Their Bartok DAC @laoman + 1 - I wrote to dCS, told them that I buy expensive gear (a lot of MSB stuff, for example), and told them what I think of companies that sue reviewers over reviews they don't like, especially when the company says he got facts wrong and n... | |
| If A.I. took the place of musicians, would you listen to it? @baylinor - the referrals still seem to work, but the autofill doesn't and the text looks just like all the other text.... | |
| @member referral not working anymore I get the actual referrals, but when I type in a name using the '@' sign, it doesn't show as being different from any other text.... | |
| If A.I. took the place of musicians, would you listen to it? @jastralfu - you are right; getting paid as an artist is bad enough as it is, and you wouldn't want a Milli Vanilli situation where the artists do not perform on the record. But ultimately I do not see an artistic problem as long as the recording ... | |
| If A.I. took the place of musicians, would you listen to it? @hilde45 - 'Sermons in church'? Don't get me started there. Not everybody here has a wife and kids. And yes, that would go for painting, novels, and other arts. An AI-written novel would not stop humans from writing novels or other humans from... | |
| If A.I. took the place of musicians, would you listen to it? I'd be perfectly fine with it if I liked it. I don't care much how the sausage is made if it tastes good to me. And AI is still programs created by humans. | |
| Technics SL-1200G Mat Recommendations I use a Stein Music Perfect Interface mat on my 1200G - sounds great to me! | |
| New Steely Dan Aja @jdjohn - I've seen a few YouTube videos that did that, along with some others. CISCO seems to be a very popular one, but I haven't seen a review yet that liked anything else better than the UHQR double-45... | |
| New Steely Dan Aja I assume you mean the double-45rpm version from Acoustic Sounds? I think it's awesome sounding, and I've got an original 70's promo from the day it was released. That is brilliant sounding, but nothing like the double-45, to me.... |
