Your method for discovering great music.
Several people have mentioned the various "what are you listening to" threads here on Audiogon. I used to frequent those threads and over the last few years I have been turned onto some artists that I remain really fond of. However, what you most...

@tyray I live in the Charlotte, NC radio market. And much like Charlotte itself, the radio offerings are pretty cookie cutter. In fact, its a wasteland. At least in terms of rock/indie etc. I don't know about jazz. I still scan the channels in the...

@curiousjim I would have taken the risk on that box of CDs too! @jbhiller I am a CD guy. I've got some vinyl but not much. My typical process is to find stuff I like and then buy it on CD. I've slowed down on that a little but if its something re...

Got it. That makes sense. I'll spend some time with Spotify, as I have been this evening. It makes it MUCH easier to browse for new music than Qobuz or even Amazon Music as it is already showing suggestions of bands similar to the ones I just list...

Okay, I’ve got Spotify, the free version. Like it so far. I like Radio Paradise a lot too. Now for some tech questions with these: 1) I do not see Spotify Discover Weekly. Either it is staring me in the face or it must be only with a paid subsc...

I do not have Spotify. I used to rely on radio too. But it is pretty stagnant in this radio market. Have not explored internet radio much. @danager What got me thinking about this is my wife and I just watched a movie called High Fidelity with J... 
Dust on speaker cones.
My house is 95 years old. A HEPA filter wouldn't accomplish much....or not for long anyway. Asian elephants do not have pubic hair.  
Dust on speaker cones.
Thanks guys. Should have thought about the paint brush. I use them on my camera gear.

Handel's Messiah, Emmanuelle Haim, Qobuz......the whole thing this morning before Lessons and Carols at church. Wonderful stuff loud.

Thanks guys. That's all easy enough so I'll give it a shot.

Thanks guys. Will look into getting it checked out but on the other hand probably not willing to shell out big money to have it done. The place that it came from is still in business so I can check with them.
