| What are you streaming tonight? @reubent said: We're living in the golden age and most folks don't even know it...... I would have disagreed with this not long ago because it has been my opinion that rock and roll is pretty much dead. But that opinion was mostly based on the ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? @mental , someone here on Audigon turned me on to the Teskey Brothers. I knew I liked them from the first 30 seconds of the first song. The singer sounds like Otis Redding and they are very soulful.In that genre also look into Vintage Trouble, esp... | |
| Dumb lo-fi question. I guess a better way to phrase my question is did these old receivers ever come with two separate amps inside...one for speakers A and one for speakers B. I assume the answer is no.....but it would have been a neat feature. | |
| Dumb lo-fi question. Thanks guys. That's the info I needed. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? @reubent Good tip on the Trews. I'm giving them a listen now and like what I'm hearing.@uberwaltz, I get some of the Struts energy in the Trews. (I'm a big Struts fan, seen them once, will see them twice in May). But the Trews don't seem as catchy... | |
| So disappointed in today's Americana The DR measurements on Sarah Jarosz's albums seem to hover around 8, which I consider marginal but darn good compared to some of the albums mentioned above. There are folks here at Audiogon who consider anything less than 10 to be poor. So whoever... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? @mental , I can hardly stay in the room or car if modern country music is playing. But, I recently bought Chris Stapleton's Traveller CD. There are a few songs on there that smack of mod-country-pop that I don't like but there are also a few excel... | |
| Modestly priced bookshelf speakers for cabin. Reviving an old thread. Was listening to some good recordings down at the cabin and found myself disappointed even with the minimal expectations that low end system warrants.So now I'm looking around for some low priced speakers but will probably ... | |
| fascinating article on compression and a "bit more" It can't just be that we're getting old.......unless by that you mean that the younger generation 1) have no appreciation for sound quality and 2) drive consumer commodity consumption and 3) are undemanding consumers with lots of disposable cash.... | |
| New in 2019 Gary Clark Jr, new album Feb 22. "This Land". Not wild about the pre-release song but looking forward to giving the album a chance. His first two were masterful.If you don't know about Clark and you like guitar rock, blues, R&B and an occasion... | |
| fascinating article on compression and a "bit more" I'm glad this is continuing to get recognition. I found it odd that the engineer for Alabama Shakes was quoted. Their first two albums have terrible dynamic range.I really want to support new artists, but over compressed music makes thousands of d... | |
| A DAC that can make digital sound analog? This might sound silly, but my modest Schiit Modi 2 Uber does just that.I like the way CDs sound better than vinyl so for me the effect is not really exactly what I want but it takes the harsh bright edge off of digital recordings. It might not be... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? @bdp24, I'm sure you are well aware of Dankos solo stuff but others might not. Not sure how you feel about it but one of the songs, Sip the Wine, is not bad for a 'Band' flavored song. | |
| So disappointed in today's Americana I have to add a correction. I just got Vintage Trouble's The Bomb Shelter Sessions on CD (2011) and it does not seem as compressed as many of the other's I listed.The DR database lists the album at 8-9 but it references a lossy medium with no othe... | |
| Drink of choice for serious listening? three-easy-payments, I always equated peat and smoke as the same thing. Most of the Islay Scotches (maybe not Bunnahabhain) burn peat to dry the malted barley which gives it the smokey flavor (which I like). If there is a peat quality separate fro... |
