| Tune of the Day "Is my dick enough" by Steel Panther. It's actually good. Lol | |
| Why isn’t more detail always better? @toddalin I agree. I've thought about this when considering vacuum tubes or cables that roll off the top end. Doesn't seem right to do that, but it might be preferable to the harshness, sibilance, etc. After several upgrades, my system now has ... | |
| Music to let Your System Shine Carolin No - Carolin No. The entire album is good. Kacey Musgraves - Deeper Well album. Cardinal, Jade Green, and Lonely Millionaire are particular favorites off of that album. Riverside - Friend or Foe if you want something fun to crank. I like... | |
| Benchmark LA4 vs Linear Audio Tube microZOTL Preamplifier (Level 2) I’m very happy with my LTA MicroZotl level 2 preamp. I’m using it with a Coda No 8 amplifier. I bought my LTA lightly used from a guy that moved to a high dollar integrated amp. He had upgraded the tubes to NOS Telefunken ECC801S. I experimented ... | |
| HOW DID YOU END UP WITH YOUR DREAM SYSTEM? It started over 35 years ago. Had little money, so I would work to earn enough to buy the highest ranked equipment in Stereophile that I could afford. Mostly class C, maybe B. I had three boys and the house was too noisy for any serious listenin... | |
| The end of physical media is neigh I have boxes of dvds and blu ray discs. I have a Sony blu ray player that I mostly use to play music videos in surround sound. I have a Pioneer Elite dvd player sitting in a box as a backup, but it doesn't do blu ray. I might watch for a deal... | |
| Music for Working Creatively – I need your help! Riverside 20 - Volume 1, The Shorts. The band is Riverside, but what I listed is the tital on Qobuz. Carolin No - Carolin No. | |
| After 20 years, in the market for a power amp I would call Doug Dale with Coda. Tell him what you have for gear. You should also think about your long term plan. Will you ever change speakers? For my Von Schweikert Endeavor RE speakers, Doug recommended the No 8, V1. That's what I bought... | |
| What % Of Your System Are Your Cables? I'm around 12% based on what I paid. At normal retail for new, it would be higher. | |
| The HARD ROCK & HEAVY METAL Thread Continued @simonmoon +1 for Riverside. I play them a lot... You might give RPWL a try if you haven't heard them. I'm old enough that I was around when some of the great albums were released. I spent most of my money on music. Van Halen debut is probably t... | |
| Bluesound Node to Cambridge CXA-60 issue @oddiofyl Thank you. I'll look into it. | |
| Optimize or buy new gear..? I've upgraded components and then felt justified in spending more on cables. The cables have made a difference. I have not gone back and tried the old components with the new cables, but I have wondered about it. The new equipment was better t... | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? @lanx0003 thank you for the reply. At least initially, my son will use it as a streamer with a headphone amp. I think the Wiim has a headphone jack, but his headphone amp is probably better. He's new to streamers, so it should be fun for him. ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Riverside - Second Life Syndrome. | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? @lanx0003 What was your opinion of the Wiim Ultra? I snagged one on a black Friday deal. It's for my son for Christmas. I was impressed by the size and weight of the box (I haven't opened it). I expected something much smaller and lighter. |
