| Looking for great jazz guitar recordings - any recommendations? As easy and friendly as a pair of well broken in shoes: Phil Upchurch, “Tell the Truth”. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Internet station FIP out of Paris (France😀). This station blows me away. Having spent some time in the broadcast booth, I can tell you their transitions/segues are crazy good. You will be listening to Janis Joplin and realize 15 minutes ago you we... | |
| Best song for immediate impact when presenting or testing? For listeners that enjoy vocals, especially female vocals: "Bells and Roses", "If I Were a Man", or anything else really on Roseanne Cash's 10 Song Demo album. This audition made a wife of a buddy insist he upgrade his gear in several ways I sugge... | |
| If you could only keep 5 record albums, what would they be? Many excellent choices.....here are my suggestions:R.E.M. "Fables of the Reconstruction"Traffic (for heavens sake!) "John Barleycorn Must Die"Mark Knopfler "Shangri-la"Roseanne Cash "10 Song Demo"Wailin' Jennys "Firecracker" | |
| Cover songs that are better than the originals. IMHO, no cover of "Sweet Jane" touchs Lou Reed's live version from Live On Letterman.....all the power, crunch, and testifying one could ask for in rock. | |
| Cover songs that are better than the originals. The Treble With Tribbles, if you haven't heard Sister Carol's version of Wild Thing off of the "Something Wild" soundtrack, check it out.Another excellent rendition that takes the song in a whole 'nother direction...I've put it to great use at par... | |
| For those of us over 60.. The Jefferson Airplane, Little Feat, R.E.M. | |
| In need high-efficency speakers I know I'm late to this thread, but I wanted to second ghosthouse's recommendation regarding Caintuck Audio's Betsy. My speaker search started because of my need for high efficiency speakers. For critical listening I run a Transcendent Sound Mini ... | |
| BitPerfect for Mac vs Pure Music Thanks, folks. Kenny, not sure how much time I'll devote to Pure Music at this point. With the last version update, my 5 year old Mini evidently has borderline capability of running PM and iTunes without having loud blasts of static take place con... | |
| Where does your user name come from? Company that made "straight line" tracking turntables back in the day. The tone arm didn't swing in an arc...it moved in approximately a straight line, at a right angle, to the circumference of the record. My parents gave me one for my high school... | |
| Pure Music Question Bbopman, Pure Music just released yet again a software update to correct a glitch in their previous version that resulted in no sound output.Download the newest version and read the manual, if you care to investigate. It might be the problem. | |
| amarra or pure music..? Bbopman, I'm "wired" (TOS linked), I'm afraid. No help here. | |
| amarra or pure music..? Not trying to threadjack, but rather a note of thanks for the topic. I had no idea Pure Music was out there (or anything like it), and have since enjoyed the improvement it's made in the sound of my system.I'd often wondered why there wasn't more ... | |

| Netbook to USB DAC to Headphone Amp on Batteries I too have purchased a Nu-force UDAC. Paired with my Sennheiser HD 555's, I find this setup to be very satisfying. One bump in the road to mention, which I have not addressed with Nu-force (& may decide not to): My UDAC doesn't like to be powe... |
