| Most underrated female recording artists.. @unreceivedogma no problem. Love Eva Cassidy too....Also whoever recommended Chantal Chamberland get a +1 from me. Note, I think two people mentioned her, but both misspelled it. From Tidal, the above spelling is correct. | |
| Most underrated female recording artists.. @unreceivedogma I wasn’t. I was providing a consolidated listing of all those mentioned by everyone up until I posted to make it convenient for people to copy and paste into a Word document or an email to save for easy reference. Then I mentioned ... | |
| Most underrated female recording artists.. @rettrussell yeah, sort of like Bjork. Her albums are sometimes sonic "ordeals" to get through, but one thing they are not, is boring. | |
| Is there such a thing as a FOREVER DAC/streamer? The length of "forever" is inversely proportional to how old you are. A great DAC bought now will still sound great 20 years from now, assuming the electronics and mechanical devices within it don’t age and change value or lose function over time.... | |
| BluSound Node and Node 2 My neighbor had to replace her refrigerator. It had lasted nearly 30 years. The place she was buying a new one from was honest and told her, "Well, don't expect this one to last THAT long" - LOL. So here we are 30 years removed from 1992 with fa... | |
| Thoughts about the "Cheapaudioman" on YouTube @seanheis1 nearly ALL YouTubers ask for money, so they can keep the lights on and buy stuff to review and then either sell at a loss or give away to patreons of their channel. Nothing wrong with it. Even Steve Guttenberg asks for people to become ... | |
| Most underrated female recording artists.. Duffy - I would add her for those who might have missed her. Oh, and it is spelled Rhonda Vincent, with an "h"... | |
| Most underrated female recording artists.. Great recommendations. I’ve heard maybe 1/3rd of these. (Guess Spotify’s algorithm for finding "similar" artists was pretty good). Looking forward to trying these artists out. For instance, the 2022 Ella Henderson album "Everything I Didn’t Say" i... | |
| BluSound Node and Node 2 Anecdotal reports are well, anecdotal. We have no way of knowing how many units BS has sold nor how many actual problems that are real problems (not resolved by resetting the device and/or the modem router). We are just guessing. If BS is experie... | |
| Blu Ray player versus CD/SACD player. @ianhorseman thanks. I just wasn't sure what the relevance of SACD was these days, but if you can find some used gems out there, and even a few new ones that trip your trigger then good luck to you. I'd forgotten that originally SACD were suppo... | |
| Blu Ray player versus CD/SACD player. Curious, so many here seem to act like SACD is still a "thing". Is it? Where are you buying these, and what kind of releases? Jazz, pop, classical? Who is still releasing music in this format, and if it is so limited, is it really worth it when y... | |
| Thoughts about the "Cheapaudioman" on YouTube I've watched him near the beginning of his channel's launch. He does a good job just evaluating gear based on what he hears. Most of it sub-$1000 stuff, but he occasionally does "better" items like the Wharfedale Linton, ELAC Uni-Fi, KLH Model 5, ... | |
| Why does rock concert sound suck? There are many reasons rock shows generally can sound awful. For one thing, and the most important one is that most of these arenas are not designed for sound quality at all. They are echoey, sound smearing, godawful places of zero acoustics. All... | |
| Comparing external DAC to CD player DAC PCs and MACs are generally terribly electrically noisy devices. They weren’t designed for high end audio at all. Like others, I suspect your MAC being used as a streamer via USB is your weakest link here. You might find streaming even via an iPAD ... | |
| Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West? @soix yes, please let us know if you find a solution to some of the iFi Zen Stream’s issues. At it’s price point and the better fidelity reviewers have noted over the Bluesound Node used as a streamer only, it would offer a great bang for the buck... |
