| Kanye West - Grammy comment, re Beck I would not give anyone who pulls stunts like that too much credit. I'd yank the awards he won just for being a self indulgent horses arse and having poor taste in women accordingly. | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Charles, I agree with you 100%. I am happy for everyone who enjoys what they are doing.On the other hand, that alone does little to help someone work through their issues. That requires open discussion and not being afraid to make suggestions in g... | |
| Where should I spend my $2000? Spend it at Mapman's Hifi Audio Super Shop, opening soon!!!I will have some very nice custom made wires, magnets and special fuses that you will have to hear to believe. That should take care of the $2000 no problem. ;^) | |
| Kanye West - Grammy comment, re Beck BTW, I was shocked that Beck won that one. i have not heard that particular album yet but have other older BEck albums. Like his music or not, and I am somewhat ambivalent still on the matter, one cannot deny that he is one of the few these days s... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Tbg, I appreciate that.Everyone has to start someone and fulfill their own needs.We should encourage people to not be afraid to try out the waters always as best they can, not scaring them away with talk about how hard or expensive it is. Nor by c... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Reb,I didn't say it clearly but what what I meant is what is emphasized more or less in specific recordings. Specific things like you mention that you hear now and did not before, or vice versa.The grip on the bass thing does not surprise me and i... | |
| What's your latest album purchase? When he does it, his voice does not sound real, more unreal or synthesized, but I am pretty sure that it is just him. I also have his Classic Concert live recording from Carnegie Hall on Concord jazz label and it is on display there live. | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? I hope this thread does not become yet another good example of why more people don't love audio....... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Madona sounds really good on my $90 high quality table radio fed from my computer at work. In mono of course. :^}Tbg, my system comes in arounfd $10K or so in terms of what I actually paid, a lot more at list price. It does it pretty good! I've be... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Reb,One thing worth noting is that often when a significant change is made we focus on what we hear that we did not before. how about what we heard before that we no longer hear? I suspect that once one hits a certain level of sound performance th... | |
| Kanye West - Grammy comment, re Beck He's a bigger diva than his wife basically. | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... I'd like to hear that combo. 😻 | |
| What's your latest album purchase? Shubert, it is the most eerily otherworldly thing I think I have ever heard on any recordings. The sound just seems to transcend the physical realm I'm listening in. One has to hear it to understand. | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... There is always the proven option of waiting to buy used and not overpaying and selling if needed to move on. It might be nice to keep two pair around at a time to compare at home, even for just a short period if financially feasible. | |
| Higher resolution Jazz " I like that it was brought to light a few times about the recording of live jazz and how the vibe is different because of the musicians feeding and playing off of one another vs. recorded in a studio"I always like live recordings for exactly tha... |
