| Greatest Rock Drummers The documentary Beware of Mr Baker is fun. What an eccentric ornery fellow. He was certainly original - played rudiments much of the time whether it fitted or not. Very interesting sound. Don’t know of another drummer that so effectively used rudi... | |
| Tom Petty: It was an "accidental" OD Petty never did much antics on stage if any at all. Blame the rockstar lifestyle if you will and a combination of issues with aging. Nevertheless it is tragic. I have seen him live many times and the last time with the Hypnotic Eye tour a few year... | |
| A lot of hype about PS Audio, deservedly so ? @gryphongryph My simplest digital set up so far. DAC direct to active speakers. Pitch black.https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/6257I do get hiss from the TT when volume level is high - I don’t think you can avoid that. | |
| A lot of hype about PS Audio, deservedly so ? “Do you hear any hiss from your speakers when no music is playing, or does the music come from a pitch black background as they say ?”Pitch Black no hiss not even a hint. No hiss even with one ear stuck right over the tweeter. Up until I got my ne... | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers I love it! “drummers are musicians too” | |
| What is really the purpose of streaming?? More listening and a vast online catalog of hi res music.Less time feeding a CD tray like on an assembly line.CD players are almost all jittery anyway due to the servo motors... | |
| Thiel is officially closed!! We blame the buyer of Thiel but surely they were in trouble before. The enemy of the good is better and the competition in great quality speakers has increased.For example, I was impressed to see the amount of engineering in Paradigm Persona line!... | |
| need advice for sound improvement If placement isnt helping any further then try new tubes. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Lol - Dark matter? Try Brian May lead guitarist of Queen / he is actually an astrophysicist! I know almost nothing about that. I did read Stephen Hawkings original Black Hole Radiation paper when in high school but never pursued that side of Physi... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD @gdhal Another advantage of upsampling redbook is on a ladder resistor network DAC or multi-bit DAC. Upsampling with Roon or another software should shift ghosts much higher in frequency - where the ghost frequencies can act a bit like random nois... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD @gdhal That would be it “The other one”. Petty played Friend of the Devil live often also. Nearly every musician is a fan of Jerry Garcia - no denying tremendous talent.@maplegrovemusic I have college degrees in engineering and physics. Don’t use ... | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers Check this is outChanging or adding movement to a simple rock 1/8 note pattern to the odd triplet feel (by playing on the “e” of four instead of the “&”)https://youtu.be/vl9188EPdLISimple but really effective! Often the genius things are simpl... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD @gdhal Never seen the Grateful dead but I watched a movie documentary and I love their live jams. Listen to them on Tidal a lot.Tom Petty does a great live jam called Two Men Talkin’ that seems to be a tribute to Grateful Dead - do you know what i... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD @gdhal Thanks for this awesome gift.I would like to hear Tower of Power live in 1975. This was their best line up ever with Lenny Williams on vocals and Chester Thompson on keyboards. They are probably the best band in the world to see or hear liv... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD @gdhal The logic for upsampling Redbook is well documented and justified. Redbook requires a Nyquist filter at 22KHz to prevent aliasing or image noise from 22 to 44 KHz from being included in the analog output signal. Unfortunately a sharp filter... |
