Top 10 Live Albums
A lot of great titles so far!  I'll add these: John McLaughlin Trio: Live At the Royal Festival Hall McLaughlin, Di Meola, De Lucia: Friday Night In San Francisco Abercrombie/Erskine/Mintzer/Patitucci: The Hudson Project  
Heist/ crime songs
Great memories everyone!  In 1968 Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames recorded "The Ballad Of Bonnie and Clyde" and it was a Top 10 hit.  
Did you ever buy too much bass?
Tight, fast, articulate bass is clean bass (or is it the other way around) and that's what I get with four subs.  I have a SWARM system and the bass helps mids and highs.  No boominess, no sludge, no heaviness.  The four sub recommendation is some... 
Experienced only: What have you done with room correction?
My experience with room correction involves two different correction systems.  The first DSP/RC was part of Sanders 10 speaker system.  Roger Sanders programmed and included a dbx VENU360 DSP/digital crossover with the system purchase of his 10 se... 
Lyngdorf 3400 flexibility vs 1120
I have a 2170 and am thinking about a 3400.  The increased power would be great to drive my Maggie 3.7i speakers. I currently use a Parasound A21 power amp fed from the analog output of the 2170.  I also use a SWARM DBA sub system.  The 2170 feeds... 
The magic of outdoor listening
Very interesting topic, johnk.  I started thinking about the title before I read the responses.  My first thought was how difficult it would be to put all equipment (turntable, CD player, DAC, preamp, amp, etc.) into a cabinet for protection again... 
Dumping it all for Lyngdorf???
I use the Lyngdorf TDAI-2170 as a preamp with RoomPerfect.  Using the 2170 menu I disabled the amp and I feed a Parasound A21 from the 2170 analog output.  The Parasound drives Maggies and a SWARM sub system.  Clean, detailed, easy and puts a smil... 
What were the radio stations of your youth that helped you on your music/audio journey?
Glad to see quite a few members influenced by Chicago radio stations.  In the early and mid 70s, a time brokered station in Chicago, WXFM, had a show on Monday through Friday, 8 PM to midnight, called Triad Radio.  The music was way beyond the roc...

Suggest one obsure album we all should hear
Great thread 1111art!  I'm sure you did not mean the record label called Obscure.  It was created by Brian Eno in 1975 and 10 albums were released on the label.  They are all different so it's difficult to choose just one.  As for obscure records,...

Same with me. 
Different systems playing same music simultaneously
I am using a Dayton Audio wave link 2.4 GHz wireless transmitter/receiver to send signals from my music room to a second system in my kitchen.  Bought from Parts Express.  Cost about $60.00.  Works great but there are certain limitations.  You'll ...

Need Bluetooth and/or wireless equipment help
Thanks mahler123.  Does the Apple Home Pod have analog inputs for the signal from my music room and from a tuner?
