| Obscure Gems - found Streaming - Chime in Amazon Music has a "Recommended" tab. It is based on your browsing and listening history. I’ve found stuff that way. It does okay but still the majority of it is stuff I would never listen to. Not even remotely. Hard to figure out what the algorit... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Tom Petty - Pack Up the Plantation. Live. I don't even know where this (double) album came from. It might have been my wife's or I may have won it on a radio contest (back in the day). I won a lot of those in med school. Not many other people cal... | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? @elizabeth : It takes an effort to keep the 'inner audiophile' tame. Even some of the stuff I consider to be wacko beckons at times. But I also have an inner Scotsman that delights in high bang-for-buck ratios which becomes a hobby in itself and h... | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? @lowrider57 : " n80, you have no baseline or reference to judge the SQ of your preamp."That's what I'm saying. It is a blessing and a curse! The blessing is that I think it sounds great. The curse is that it might not. ;-)I don't remember where t... | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? I do have the MKI which means 4 tubes to replace or try rather than 2.@rodman99999 : "There’s no problem, trying just one pair per gain stage, at a time, to see if you like the change."I’m not sure what that means. Does that mean I can just change... | |
| Obscure Gems - found Streaming - Chime in There is another thread, an old but ongoing one, which discusses "what are you streaming tonight". A lot of the responses are just what someone is streaming at the moment but there are also lots of 'new' discoveries recommended there as well.Thing... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Counting Crows - August and Everything After. Good SQ on the original CD. | |
| Are analog, non-compressed, FM stations a thing of the past? You can do this with your computer or cell phone and get different levels of sound quality depending on how you configure things. If you have iTunes just go to 'Music' then 'Radio' in the menu bar and browse the many radio stations available. | |
| Are analog, non-compressed, FM stations a thing of the past? @whatjd : It is a dedicated music streamer. In other words it receives music over the internet (Apple Music, and other services, etc) and plugs into your hi-fi system and also allows you to play music in other rooms wirelessly if you have the prop... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? I found an interesting ’documentary’ on the band on YouTube. It is obviously promotional but it is well done and worth a look.https://youtu.be/FVb8WTEqTbkI like to go out to Mississippi and travel up and down highway 61 (New Orleans to Memphis) fo... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Bishop Gunn - NatchezNew band from Natchez, Mississippi. Based in Nashville now. Blues based roots rock.I'm only in a few songs deep but I like what I'm hearing.So happy to see so many young artists getting back to basics....the blues. | |
| What's this button for? I doubt that it hurt your receiver. Speakers maybe. | |
| Are analog, non-compressed, FM stations a thing of the past? We have a very good classical station out of Davidson University, WDAV. They don't seem to be affiliated with NPR but they do fundraisers twice a year. Almost no talk and very few ads other than various programs "brought to you by.....". The DJs a... | |
| Are analog, non-compressed, FM stations a thing of the past? I can't answer your question but I'm interested in the answer as I enjoy good broadcast radio as well. Of course most folks are listening to 'radio' over the internet now.If you do not mind I would also like to add a question regarding a good FM a... | |
| Music I would succumb to under torture @bsimpson : Political leanings and Trump bashing really aren't necessary, especially in regard to the national anthem or a thread about music preferences. (And trust me, I'm no Trump fan.) @bsimpson : Any racially intense, hatre-provoking music... |
