300B for Canary Grand reference
I've got the new Western Electric ones in my Eddie Current 300B, and those are excellent - much better than the Gold Lions I had previously...  I'm sure you could find others that sound as good for less money, but I didn't want to spend a lot of t... 
Headphone amp?
I use Moon Audio Black Dragon headphone cables, too - I've got them for all 3 of my headphone sets. The Quicksilver tube headphone amp is some serious value for money at under $1000.   
Is Old Music Killing New Music?
I'm 70 and I've always tried to keep up with contemporary rock, reggae, and pop music. I don't like jazz, blues, or country, but I like all kinds of indie rock and pop, and hip-hop/rap, metal, etc. I also like Grateful Dead music!  There are so m... 
King Crimson
I loved KC from the first album through all of the ones with John Wetton and Bill Bruford, and fell by the wayside after that.  When I was in college in 1969, some art students painted the inside elevator doors in our dorm building, with half of ... 
Those who seek to deny access to information
@tomic601 - I've never heard that saying before - love it!! 😆  
McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer
I hope Mike Powell Audio goes out of business. Reading his posts, it's obvious he's a scumbag. If that's how he deals with his customers, it's amazing he's lasted this long.   
Is Old Music Killing New Music?
Of course it's about tastes. The same music may be hated by one person and loved by another, and that says nothing about the music but rather about the tastes of the people involved. I'm 70 years old - I do not need 'education about my own listeni... 
Is Old Music Killing New Music?

Is Old Music Killing New Music?
Interesting article - pretty long, I'll read the whole thing later. I used to work in retail and wholesale record business from '74 - '84, and the record business today is nothing like it was back then; the business is different, the model is diff... 
MSB DAC's Popularity
@thyname + 1 - and I mis-spelled Vince's surname. But yeah, he's great!   
McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer
@femoore12 + 1 - That's one audio dealer I can cross off my list of 'might buy something from them some day'. He doesn't care if people don't like him. Good, 'cause after reading his post, I don't like him, and I would never reward somebody I don'... 
Madonna's soundstage
Indeed - Roger Waters has always been into sounds, voices, etc coming from all different places, both on records and in concert....  
2:00 a.m. listening at Noon!
@czarivey - that's how I experience music, both live and recorded, for the past 50 years or so! Cannabis and tunes!   
MSB DAC's Popularity
I've had an MSB Analog DAC for about 8 or 9 years - it's a ladder DAC with a volume control, and it's excellent and has never had a problem - I was running it directly into my MSB Power Amp, and that sounded good, but when I put a Herron Audio lin...
