| Holy cow: Ringo produced by T Bone Burnett! Ok I checked out the track with Alison Kraus and am sold. I predict a big hit! Added to my library. It’s amazing how Robert Plant and Krauss magically jelled. Go Ringo! Love the cowboy hat! Thanks @bdp24 You are always the man with the music ins... | |

| Holy cow: Ringo produced by T Bone Burnett! Well Yee-haw!!! Country Ringo! Seriously….sounds interesting. Will scan for it on Qobuz. On a side note, Ringo’s Beatle’s cover turned me on to Buck Owens and the Buckaroos who I think are one of the best things ever in country music. Love that ... | |
| How does 10+ year old technology compare to modern: Musical Fidelity M1 DAC In general technology has advanced a lot. That’s not to say all new DACs are better than all old DACs. Each case is different. But in general the cost of a very good DAC is much lower now than 10 years ago. Never use price alone to judge and thi... | |
| The end of physical media is neigh we are becoming a world without any control at all over our music or movie culture. Nu? Market demand controls these things. Always has always will. | |
| The end of physical media is neigh I have hundreds of CDs still. I ripped them to a music library years ago. They still make useful acoustic treatments stored on the walls of my office room. Blasts from the past. May come in useful as backups someday should I ever happen to lose... | |

| Why isn’t more detail always better? Bringing up the room is a good point. I probably would not even be having this discussion before I started using DSP and room correction. I find It’s a whole new ballgame in regards to detail once your room acoustics have been accounted for. | |
| How do you decide what to listen to? Same old stuff? If I can’t decide I use Roon random play. Or Roon radio. I do this a lot. | |
| Why isn’t more detail always better? Lots of Good responses so far! | |
| Why isn’t more detail always better? @sns @dynamiclinearity @frogman I think we are on the same page. | |
| Why isn’t more detail always better? Too much detail can be very distracting I discovered that with a fantastic pushpull 45 amp in my system it was just too much. I get that. Myself, since a kid I’ve always had the goal of being able to hear all the details in a recording and hav... | |
| Why isn’t more detail always better? More detail is the Holy Grail. How that information is presented is where things get tricky. I agree. The new amp is a second generation Class D design that uses GaN transistor technology. Seeing what the latest and greatest technology can (cos... |
