How do you get Happy as an Audiophile?
Can't answer. Was never happy with my system when I considered myself an audiophile. Audio Nervosa I believe it is called. Anyway, somehow I figured out that I just like listening to music and particularly music that I like, music that speaks to m...

Second record from the latest Plaid Room pile... Daniel Lanois - "Acadie" Promo copy from WYSO - Yellow Springs, Ohio - Listener Supported Radio. Yellow Springs, location of Antioch College and lifelong home to Dave Chappelle. It's a really cool...

@slaw  Maybe "Push It Out" is one of those songs that speaks to everyone differently? Maybe so... Enjoy the weekend!

How much gear do you own?
Just sold my final piece from last week's Craigslist postings. All total, sold 7 pieces. All had their original packaging too, so I picked up quite a bit of shelf space. Now, on to round 2. Don't know how much stuff I'm going to sell, but 1500 CDs...

Don't tell my wife.... Fell off the wagon today! Stopped in at Plaid Room Records to sell/trade a few records that had accumulated in the "to sell/to trade" pile. I have a gentlemen's agreement with myself to not return from the record store with... 
Changing USB input on DAC to Coax SPDIF?
@musichead  - No driver needed for the Raspberry Pi running Volumio. I found it to be very simple to build and set up. I think it sounds pretty darn good. So, I actually have 2 Raspberry Pi based streamers. One is just the RP board in a case, wit...

@boxer12  "Push it out", what are they talking about there? Funny you should ask. Had never heard it before. But when I was sitting there listening to it I was thinking "I don't even what to know what they're talking about." After reading the...

Whats on your turntable tonight?
Finished up all 3 EPs (4 disks) from The Beta Band - "The Three E.P.'s". Sound quality is excellent. Vinyl and packaging is beautiful, but there are a couple of noisy spots in the vinyl of the second EP. I may try cleaning again to see if it gets ... 
Changing USB input on DAC to Coax SPDIF?
@musichead  - Are you talking about the USB input on a Rega Isis CD player? I have the Rega Saturn-R and I have connected my Raspberry Pi based Stream to the USB input on my Rega Saturn-R and it worked with no issues. What is it that you want to ... 
The Boss is the Bo$$
I was not a Bruce Springsteen fan, until 2014! My neighbor invited me to go see Springsteen on the "High Hopes" tour. The album, and live show, featured Tom Morello. Seeing that Springsteen show completely changed my opinion of "The Boss". Spring...

The Boss is the Bo$$
@tablejockey  - I know the owner of a small record label who has an agent that works with creators of advertising content to place songs from his company's catalog. Was shocked at how much advertisers pay. I'm sure Sony is going to be working over... 
The Boss is the Bo$$
@bigtwin   I have no issue with musicians selling their catalogue.  It's just the cleanest way for them to do estate planning.  Like any other asset, be it land, equities or in this case music, it only makes sense to tidy up your affairs in a ti...
