Where are the front men? (Rant) As Nietzsche said- The Guitar God is Dead. As Gary Clark, Jr. said- Nietzsche is dead. | |
Where are the front men? (Rant) @slaw Thanks. I will look into those. @bgross Leon Bridges blew me away with his first album. Just amazing. Have not enjoyed his follow up albums. I do love his work with Khruangbin. I have not listened to JJ Grey in a long time. Seems like he wa... | |
Where are the front men? (Rant) @stuartk That is not the way I took it. He did make a generalization about a lot of the material that female vocalists sing but then he goes on to list a number of female vocalists that he likes. So it doesn't seem to me that he is saying that abo... | |
Vintage Audio Research subwoofer connect. @whart Thanks. That is very helpful. In all probability I am not going to put a sub or subs in this system but I just wanted to look into feasibility. It is in a fairly small room and the Aerial Acoustics 7Bs seem pretty solid in terms of bass to ... | |
Where are the front men? (Rant) @slaw Thanks. I am familiar with Marcus King. He's okay for me. I have all of the Teskey Brothers albums. Love them. I have several Amos Lee albums. Also have a few Black Keys albums. I am mostly interested in their blues stuff which is excellent.... | |
Where are the front men? (Rant) @stuartk Gave it a brief listen. I like what I’m hearing. Will dig deeper. @acman3 I’ve listened to Jason Isbell a little bit and for some reason he just hasn’t hooked me in. Are their songs you particularly like? I'll give them a listen. But th... | |
Where are the front men? (Rant) @sls883 Thanks for the recommendation. I'll look into it. I was into prog rock in college and still listen to the old stuff so I'll give it a try. @stuartk I'm familiar with some of those particularly Stapleton. Will look into the others. I guess... | |
What is your go-to online place to buy physical medium of music? And why? CD's. If new music I buy from the band's website. If used: eBay. Specifically the declutter store. Best prices. Free and fast shipping. Huge collection. I research all CD's on the DR Loudness Wars site to find the recordings with the best dynamic... | |
Siamese Dream - Sound Quality? I just got a used 1993 CD. Listening to it now. There is definitely more clarity. Bass is a little more defined. I'd say a little less ear fatigue as well. Overall not a huge difference but still definitely worth the $6.00 for the CD. I'll rip it ... | |
Siamese Dream - Sound Quality? I looked the album up on the dynamic range database. The DR on the 1993 CD is okay but not great. The DR on the 1993 vinyl is very good. The DR on the 2011 remaster is slightly worse than the 1993 CD. It looks like all the tested streaming versi... | |
Siamese Dream - Sound Quality? Thanks. I suspect what I'm hearing is because of the remastered version. Dynamic range probably compressed all to heck. I'm not into vinyl but I will look up the dynamic range of available CDs and see what I can find. However, several versions ... | |
Siamese Dream - Sound Quality? Thanks guys. @yyzsantabarbara I've listened to Aghori Mhori Mei. It sounded okay to me but I haven't given it a sit down serious listen yet. My renewed interest in Smashing Pumpkins started with Rick Beato's interview of Billy Corgan, Chamberlin... | |
Opinions on Bluesound vs Sonos. @mahler123 That does not sound encouraging about the Bluesound updates. That is one of the primary issues with Sonos! I do plan on getting a separate amp with the Node if I go with Bluesound. Would love to know if Bluesound is any better than So... | |
Opinions on Bluesound vs Sonos. @zlone I don't plan on sticking with Sonos. Too many problems for too many years. This current issue has been going on for two months and Sonos has made no commitment to fix it. That kind of disregard for their customers is the last straw. My pla... | |
Opinions on Bluesound vs Sonos. After doing a little research I do not think the Powernode is an option for me. It very well may be a better amp than the Sonos Amp for the types of speakers the Powernode is intended to drive. However, Bluesound have not (and apparently will ... |
