| Tip for "randomizing" a playlist. @ozzy62 , Absolutely! You can see pics of my vinyl set up at Village Baker in the above link. The fun part of setting up Button Bakery in Evanston, IL is setting up the stereo. I've been waiting to see how our budget is holding out. If funds get t... | |
| Tip for "randomizing" a playlist. Indeed I was agreeing, and attempting a bit of humor. We had a bakery in Michigan and I had music licensing in place from the day we opened. I remember having to contact one of the offices because I never got a little sticker for my window. I want... | |
| Tip for "randomizing" a playlist. For my new place an ASCAP license will be $314.50/year. Eggs: $120/case. Puts it in perspective, lol. | |
| Tip for "randomizing" a playlist. @gkelly You're assuming that I won't be buying a license from ASCAP, etc. For our business with no seating that's not too expensive. | |
| The Sacred Ritual of Vinyl: A Return to Mindful Listening @dogberry yes, that's exactly the release. Vinyl has gained the reputation of being expensive, and reissues and new releases certainly are (but often 'worth' it). Once one has a good method of cleaning records, there is a vast supply of records si... | |
| Vinyl sounds better (shots fired) I guess I'm lucky. When I'm listening to vinyl I can't imagine switching back to digital. And when I'm streaming favorite track after favorite track, I never switch back to vinyl. Whatever I'm engaged with at the moment is the superior format. | |
| The Sacred Ritual of Vinyl: A Return to Mindful Listening @unreceivedogma, Beautifully written. I agree totally, though as others have pointed out, one can bring as much mindfulness and intention to digital as well. I expect many members of the Audiogon community have the same reverence for listening acr... | |
| Accuphase Experiences Hello, I have two Accuphase systems.... In one I've paired an Accuphase E-470 with a pair of ATC HTS40's, and in the other an Accuphase E-5000 with a pair of Borresen z-3 Cryo's. Not only are both systems a true joy to listen to, but the beauty, ... | |
| Bluesound Powernode @moose89 I've got one for our veranda speakers, and through the Bowers and Wilkins outdoor speakers it really sounds great. I really didn't expect it to be so musical. I figured I'd be listening to NPR while there, but queuing up my playlists has ... | |
| Boressen speakers Good Morning @joe2022 , I've owned a pair of the z3 Cryos for a few months now and can offer a few thoughts... First, they really are exceptionally accurate. The moving mass of the tweeter is so small compared to most other speakers that it's lik... | |
| Axpona 2023 @designsfx I was a little unimpressed with the Aries Cerat room. Maybe it was the music at the time, but it sounded fairly pedestrian; especially in contrast with the gargantuan scale of the equipment. One of the guys in the room told me that the... | |
| Is a home theater even worth it or doable? Why not just add a TV to your two channel system? We love watching TV and movies through our stereo, and never miss the extra channels of audio. We did invest in a very nice TV, one of those that renders black as very black; and it was well worth ... | |
| T+A Solitaire S 530 Magnetostatic Speakers Congratulations @blisshifi for the addition of your new Solitaire S 530's; what a spectacular system. I can only imagine what a joy it must be to explore new music and to listen to old favorites with that little stereo of yours. I'm looking forwar... | |
| The new Borresen M1's...a new direction? Well, if I had that kind of cash maybe.... I'm just getting my pair of Borresen Z3 Cryos dialed in and I have to say.... wow. Driven to silky perfection by an Accuphase E-5000, it's a pretty magical combination. | |
| Is R.E.M. underrated by new music nerds? Solid R.E.M. fan here, and I read through this thread with interest. I'm surprised Around The Sun wasn't mentioned. Every time I listen to it I think, "Damn, this is some good music!" |
