| Upscale Audio is up front with customers About 10 years ago I called and talked with him. I was considering 2 Tubed pre amps -A Cary Audio and a Prima Luna- and he talked me into the Prima Luna. I hated it, called him back, and although he sounded mighty annoyed agreed to exchange it for... | |
| Big Jazz Band Music with Great Sound Thanks to all for the suggestions. I stream with Apple so will explore there but I prefer to enter actual musicians names into the search engine. To repeat I am interested in top notch sonics. The few albums that I do possess of this genre a... | |
| Bryston BDP-3 vs Lyngdorf MP-60 2.1 internal VTune player I had the BDP 3 and it sounded great but dumped it because of the frustration of using Manic Moose. If the BDP3 plays nice with Roon-that potentially is a big if—then I would think you would have a major upgrade | |

| External blu-ray disc player/writer - can I burn a blu-ray disc? Have you played other Blu Rays since your last post? What is going on? If it’s one bad disc that won’t play I would stay calm. I had a much loved Blu Ray do the same thing about 5 years ago but it was an outlier. | |
| Piano is just 300 years old? There's more. Great post, @richardbrand . btw I had posted that Haydn wrote baryton trios | |
