| Jazz like this? Suggestions I confess that I haven't yet had a chance to hear the Magnus Ringblom Quartet, but you might want to check out ECM Records. Their European style of jazz has more classical influence, less swing or R&B. | |
| getting into streaming If I read the OP's original post correctly, they asked if anyone could recommend a streamer device that came with its own dedicated controller. No one seems to have answered that. Unfortunately, I don't know the answer. I know they existed for ... | |
| un-becoming an audiophile I believe the best way to listen to music is with no stereo at all. Go out and listen to live music. You lose all ability to change or "upgrade" the SQ; you gain the immediacy of having the musicians right in front of you, and the community of s... | |
| CLASS A POWER RATINGS The Nelson Pass Stasis patent also incorporates a sliding bias voltage to increase the efficiency of an amplifier run in class A. He used it in many of the Threshold amps and also licensed it to Nakamichi. | |
| Paul McGowan gets asked about rotary subs. I think electrostats never caught on for a couple of reasons: They had a tendency to arc if over-driven. I believe this has been largely solved. They also have to be plugged in. Neither of these are problems with Magneplanars. Although there ... | |
| Women Who Rock @tylermunns Thanks for your response. I guess it's a difference of opinion. To me, "best" is dumb. Is Baroque better than Romantic? Hip Hop better than Jazz? Tom Waits better than Enrico Caruso? I don't believe in judging musicians in bpm, a... | |
| Women Who Rock @mofimadness - thanks for the heads up! @tylermunns - that's literally the title of the documentary he was recommending. Personally, I wouldn't eschew any song based on its choice to use gendered words in title or lyrics. When I sit down to lis... | |
| RIP David Lindley David Lindley was one of my favorite musicians. Some enduring memories... 70s with Jackson Browne - they performed an acoustic duo set opening for Bonnie Raitt. A few months later, I saw them with a full band on the Running on Empty tour. I st... | |
| Best dealer on Ebay to purchase authentic new Oyaide products from Caveat emptor. That applies here as well as eBay, and everywhere else. | |
| Streamers? I'm interested in this post, as I am also wondering which streamers do significant caching to optimize data flow. Although there were several responses, the only streamer mentioned as meeting this requirement was the Aurender. Are they really th... | |
| 8-10k budget suggestions please One reason you may be getting varying opinions of the B&Ws is that they've made many different speakers over the last 30 years or more with the 804 numbers. It's unlikely all the generations were voiced exactly the same. If you have really e... | |
| 50 years of Hip Hop- How Come? There is literally a whole world of music out there to explore. Pretty much every country has "classical", "folk", and "popular" traditions, which may or may not sound anything like your native versions. Nothing against Hip Hop, but it's just on... | |
| FUSE BOX delivers perfect protection and superior sound If it's the same Mark Schifter, he was one of the pioneers in digital audio (Audio Alchemy, Perpetual Technology) and has always represented innovation & value in the audio industry. Audio Alchemy was responsible for the DITB (Dac in the Box)... | |
| Analyzing DACs I don't know much about the Mytek line, but they have an interesting approach. The Mytek offers the choice of analog & digital volume control. Indeed, there seem to be a lot of similarities between the Brooklyn & P6. Both have preamp fa... | |
| Dual mono integrated amps @voodoochillin In that case(!), to find out the best practice for dual mono-ism in that form factor/price range, just lift the cover on your integrated. I have full faith in Nelson Pass. |
