| Thinking about a new, lower end CD Player No plans to do so at this point. Will continue to use it as a transport but will probably upgrade my DAC at some point since that will benefit my server and streaming as well. | |
| ... POORLY RECORDED SONGS THAT ... michael, thank you very much for looking into this. You must have a wonderful system. Reviewers have complained about this album and it has similar DR to the Metallica album that first set off the contemporary loudness wars. Three measurements (tw... | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? bdp24, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. Which is fine of course. But even in your description of what makes a musician/organist a good one, I still feel like Manzarek fits the bill. His playing pretty much carried the Doors in my opinion (... | |
| $10k Speaker Cables?????????????? @inna : "That's reason enough not to buy $10k cables and Ferraris - not to be associated in any way with those f*****s."Almost anyone on the street could look at your system and mine and say the exact same thing about us, right?"And you don't need... | |
| ... POORLY RECORDED SONGS THAT ... That’s interesting Michael. I have to say, soundstage is not my main criteria for SQ so I can’t say much there. I do not have a subwoofer. My system is fairly high end circa 1990. No EQ. My immediate impression of the album is volume. Way out of p... | |
| Thinking about a new, lower end CD Player Went to the Goodwill CD store and got a Sony and a Toshiba DVD/CD player for $14 each. Both work fine. Both sound fine in my hi-fi system for that matter.One is for down at my cabin. The other is for my B-I-L and the cobbled together Rotel/B&W... | |
| $10k Speaker Cables?????????????? @elizabeth : Don't forget to have them burned in before you buy them! | |
| $10k Speaker Cables?????????????? I saw a Montblanc pen made in conjunction with Purdy shotguns ($100k for one of their guns is nothing). One of the higher level pens is priced at 120,000 pounds. I'm not sure what that is in US dollars. It is a very pretty pen. If you can buy a 12... | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? @bdp24 : "I saw a quote from Steven Tyler, saying their (he and the other Aerosmith members) ambition was to become The Rolling Stones. Who else finds that quite a pathetic admission?"I don't think it is pathetic at all. What great musicians start... | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? bdp24, respectfully disagree about Manzarek. Maybe not a virtuoso, but perfect for the Doors. And I think that is a criteria that often gets overlooked when we talk about greatness. I think about a band like U2. None of them are great musicians b... | |
| Drink of choice for serious listening? Tonight: Mark Knopfler's Privateering plus a Guiness Stout, an Emperial Stout (from the brewery around the corner, literally) and then, to break the theme, a glass of Four Roses. Then bedtime. | |
| ... POORLY RECORDED SONGS THAT ... My name is George. I am into glam/pop. And I'm not embarrassed to admit it. The Sweet. David Bowie. T Rex. Queen......and now The Struts.@geoffkait will look into Roxy Music. Haven't thought about them in years. | |
| Drink of choice for serious listening? @jrpnde, I think you must live in the trailer around the corner from me. And a touch of kerosene in a cheap blended Scotch makes a pretty good Islay. | |
| Drink of choice for serious listening? @slaw :"I feel the music thread has now been compromised. No thit! Thanks, @n80"I'm okay with the mods moving it to wherever it needs to be or deleting it altogether if they want.@inna I was never fond of the Laphroaig 10. Harsh and without much c... | |
| Drink of choice for serious listening? Folks, either quit poking the troll or someone has to take his doo-doo emoji away from him. |
