Robert Plant
When I listen to Zep these days I tend to listen to the less popular stuff. Stuff that typically didn't get radio time back in the day. I still like their hits but I think their genius is seen best in the deeper cuts.  
New Band: Mac Saturn
Report on the show: Mac Saturn is the real deal. The place was already packed tight for The Struts by the time we arrived which was well before Mac Saturn came out. Pretty much standing room only. But most of the audience seemed to know Mac Satur... 
New Band: Mac Saturn
I agree. None of their current songs sounds like a 'hit' to me (whatever that means these days). But I'm a sucker for just about any blues based riffs and a good live show so we'll see. I see them tonight. I'll check out Neal Francis.  
Integrating speakers into contemporary decor - can WAF ever be overcome?
Here is my situation and how we worked it out: 100 year old house. 10’ ceilings. Living room is fairly formal. Crown molding. Formal looking fireplace. Oriental rug. Eclectic furniture. Mostly traditional but some contemporary. Nothing particular... 
When are speakers considered Hi-Fi and not Mid-Fi???
I've been away from Audiogon for a while. Nothing has changed. Lots of good common sense advice. Lots of people with 'x' many years of experience in complete and bitter disagreement about the exact same things in every post here with other people... 
Stupid Volume Question
Never mind. My memory is worse than I thought. The volume setting on Apple Remote was always set on max and then controlled on the pre-amp via the physical remote. It is with an older Sonos Connect into the pre-amp that the volume in Sonos is 'fi... 
Jimmy Page, It's time to call your lawyers?
I get tired of hearing about Led Zep's thievery. Faulkner once said, “Immature artists copy, great artists steal.” Many other famous folks have said similar things. Led Zep stole the way great artists do. Then they got caught. And they paid for i... 
Odd subwoofer question.
I will certainly consider it. Thanks.  
Odd subwoofer question.
Thanks guys. A couple of thoughts. To be honest I was hoping something for well under $500. The used market might help. Not interested in a pair of subwoofers. It is only by my wife's good graces that the speakers are in our living room which is... 
Odd subwoofer question.
Thanks. That's good to know.  
Any Mark Knopfler fans out there?
@tomcarr I think I mention the production quality back in the original post, but yes he and DS have a number of songs that are great for experiencing how good your system sounds. You and Your Friends is a great one for that. @dpop He does seem to... 
Whats playing on your system today?
Khruangbin (Texas psychedelic Thai funk) + Leon Bridges (Texas R&B) = Texas magic. This one is moody, sad, ambient gold on a good system.     Mariella  
Your method for discovering great music.
"Discover Weekly" still has not popped up on my Spotify app. There are lots of other categories for looking for new music but I can't find that particular one.  
Your method for discovering great music.
Yes, it makes sense and for some reason I have not used the "Got to Artist" function in Qobuz but I will certainly check it out now. Thanks!  
Your method for discovering great music.
@dancub Can you explain what you mean by: Now it's"   Radio Paradise => Qobuz => "Go to Artist" => "Similar Artists" and you're off on an adventure.    Sorry to be so dense. Does this mean you start in Qobuz? @2channel8  I will check ...
