| Tim deParavicini has passed away Another interview, from 2009https://www.stereophile.com/interviews/tim_de_paravicini/index.html | |
| Tim deParavicini has passed away I regret never owning some of his lovely gear. Here’s a 2007 profile:https://www.stereophile.com/interviews/1107parav/index.htmlI first learned of him when I started listening to recordings by Water Lilly, including Ry Cooder's "A Meeting by the R... | |
| Looking For Best Headphones How much do you want to spend? Arguably, the best bargain reference headphones are the Sennheiser 600 and 650. You can find Senn 6XX on Massdrop for a good savings over the official ones, and they are identical. The Sennheiser 6XX paired with an A... | |

| Music streamers cleeds Feedback like yours on the Aurender was what steered me away from them. I get that their Conductor app is good, if you don’t want Roon, but if you decide you want Roon later you’re SOL. I’m kind of blown away that the $20,000 Aurender is a ... | |

| The Nylons "One Size Fits All" is still a favorite...and more... I love them! I confess I'd forgotten about them and haven't listened to them for 20 years. I will be streaming them tonight if they're on Tidal. | |
| Researching an "affordable Roon server/streamer, and my choice... UPDATE: Finally got my SGC server and SonoreRendu streamer set up. It was very easy to do. It sounds excellent.

| Who am I supporting? ...There are too many stories of musicians who never saw a dime. Who signed with bad business people, had their records released haphazardly...So many artists ripped off by managers and record companies. Probably no one robbed worse than the great... | |
