| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" @tomcy6 Nah. I prefer to keep listening and appreciating lots of different types of music, including rap and Ray Charles (on occasion). @pedroeb Okay, desperately-trying-to-stay-relevant cultural gatekeeper. @emrofsemanon No, Quincy doesn’t haft... | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" The actual quote is: "“You have to remember I’m a musician,” said the singer-keyboardist who back in the ‘50s did as much as anyone to pry open the body of American pop and inject it with soul. “So rap doesn’t do anything for me; I can’t learn any... | |
| Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time To digress, the OP seems to be the same bot who started the REM thread. There's that same app shill in its 2nd post, just like in the REM thread. Sigh. At least we got another four page thread of dog whistles, musical one-upmanship, rap bashing, a... | |
| How much does a DAC do the more expensive it is? I guess my original question was either phrased incorrectly or has been interpreted wrongly. What I'm getting at is more technical for the most part: like, what can more expensive DAC's (which I rationally believe would have better design, parts a... | |
| How much does a DAC do the more expensive it is? In case you're getting the wrong idea, I don't firmly correlate money with quality. Never have, really, for audio components. Case in point; I've loaned out my Herron VTPH-2A phono stage to a friend and have substituted into my system my almost fo... | |
| How much does a DAC do the more expensive it is? @ghdprentice Nice, and @jjss49, I'm not inclined to spend lots of money, relatively speaking, on a component just because it costs lots of money. My initial question was simply was better DACs (using money as a simple metric) would do for increase... | |
| How much does a DAC do the more expensive it is? thanks for all your replies. Money and price were simply the easiest metric for me to use, having been immersed in analog and vinyl up until recently and dependent simply on the 105 before something hinted I should try a Gungnir. It’s going to b... | |
| How much does a DAC do the more expensive it is? @mastering92 Thanks for the comprehensive answer along those points. | |
| How much does a DAC do the more expensive it is? @jl35 Thanks for the info. I like the Oppo because of its Tidal streaming capacity. What would you recommend for a better transport that can still stream? | |
| Is R.E.M. underrated by new music nerds? @rlb61 "Driver 8" is a great example of what you observed. That manic drumming for the intro and post-chorus compared to his straight-ahead bridge playing. | |
| 50 years of Hip Hop- How Come? Ready for some blasphemy? I prefer "Mercy Me" over "What's Going On" -- and Robert Palmer's cover of it over the original. | |
| Is R.E.M. underrated by new music nerds? @dz13 Good call on the college radio explosion of the 80's and how that helped so many bands reach an audience hitherto dependent on mainstream radio for musical exposure to the masses. | |
| 50 years of Hip Hop- How Come? @garebear sorry, i failed to mention any of those artists you pointed out. because they're not. Please read more carefully. Also, your label of "typical lyrics and thumping noises" sounds like what Boomers' parents labeled rock. I guess getting ol... | |
| 50 years of Hip Hop- How Come? @dabel Good call on CH. One of the few mainstream Latino-rap acts there. | |
| 50 years of Hip Hop- How Come? @1happyman Yes, I know. Signed, Snarky Gen-Xer |
