| Two New Albums I got the Teskey's Run Home Slow vinyl album delivered today. SQ seems really good. DR compression seems minimal to me. Not noticeable at all and I'm pretty sensitive to it. Nice heavy vinyl too. At least compared to those nearly floppy disks I ha... | |
| Two New Albums Here is a video of Cedric Burnside doing "Down In The Delta". He is RL Burnside’s grandson and played drums for RL since he was a child. Played with Junior some too I believe.https://youtu.be/FaoMVzsW1cgI saw him play in an dark dingy old (now con... | |
| Two New Albums tooblue, I have Junior Kimbrough's God Knows I Tried on vinyl from Fat Possum records which also released the Black Keys first two albums. It is a great album. And if you like Junior you'll probably like RL Burnside too. Both from the same area.I'... | |
| Is this sign of getting old? The older I get the better I have become at appreciating an increasingly broader range of music. | |
| Two New Albums tuberist, I saw Kingfish play in an old bank building in Clarksdale, Mississippi several years ago. He was mesmerizing.I listened to his new album a while back and thought it was worth another listen then got distracted and forgot about it. Thanks... | |
| Two New Albums @slaw I just ordered Run Home Slow on LP. I have Half Mile Harvest on CD and SQ is okay, not great. A while back I went to order it and it was on back order and never did. I'll need to do that soon.I have the Black Keys 'Let's Rock' CD. SQ is real... | |
| Take up drums at age 56? I've pretty much given up on Audiogon because of the heavy handed and arbitrary moderating but I wanted to come back to this thread to give an update since you guys are the ones who encouraged me to dabble in drums for the first time at age 56.I'v... | |
| What is the least compressed signal? I'm done with Audiogon. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Tash Sultana - Flow StateAnyone seen this one? She(?) is a one person act. Kind of techno-reggae-rap-stoner-DJ music.Not to sure about this studio album or the music but she(?) is fun to watch. Check out her(?) live performances on YouTube. Plays ... | |

| New Santana, Lowest Dynamic Range Ever @jaybe "Once it goes under 6 or 7 I’m done. Regardless. Maybe only a couple exceptions."I agree with you but there is a lot of good stuff being put out these days that rarely exceeds 6 - 7. I hate missing out on it.So I listen to a lot of it in t... | |
| New Santana, Lowest Dynamic Range Ever My main issue with U2 is the Achtung Baby album. It does not come across as a DR issue and for the most part it isn't with average DR of around 11 which is normally very listenable.The problem I have with AB is that it is oppressively bass heavy a... | |
| FREE Nikko A 300D Local pickup San Diego The only downside to the DeOxit is that it is expensive ($20 for a tiny can) and the spray can that it comes in is poorly made and does not deliver the fluid very well. I do think it has de-oxidation properties above and beyond the water displacem... | |
| New Santana, Lowest Dynamic Range Ever @erik_squires "But aren't there albums we must listen to for their music, regardless of DR?"Sure. In many cases we have no choice. I have a long list of albums/artists whose material stinks in terms of SQ because the DR is so narrow. If you want t... | |
| What is the least compressed signal? Agree with Geoff on the top two paragraphs. kosst seems to be missing the point. As Geoff says, what the DR database data shows, correlates almost perfectly with the listening experience. It is eminently useful in that practical application regard... |
