| Whats playing on your system today? Within Temptation - Resist. I've found myself kinda bored with my normal audiophile stuff. I've been listening to some hard rock and metal. It's good stuff, though. | |
| Bose 901 Review Well Done. There was a kid in college that had a pair hanging in the corners up near the ceiling. Phase Linear amp. I was totally jealous. It definitely cranked. I had a JVC integrated amp, BSR turntable, and Altec Lansing speakers. Really not too bad fo... | |
| My Gray Experience Thanks for the heads up. I think I've seen ads from New Age. I'll know to stay away. I think you'll like the pair of REL. I have the same pair. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report James Taylor - Live at Beacon Theatre on dvd. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report It’s a disc, but a dvd... Listening to RPWL in surround (video) . Really good recording. They were scheduled to record it live and the concert got canceled due to covid. So, they decided to record a live performance in the studio. It’s one of the ... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report October Project - The Ghost of Childhood. Actually, I’m streaming it, but I ordered the cd on Bandcamp tonight. Not the cheapest, but no resellers have it. It’s a signed limit edition. | |
| Anyone own the Topping e70 Velvet? I just ordered one I streamed with my R26 using Audirvana software and the sound was really good. There is a small monthly subscription fee, but you can subscribe month to month, so it doesn't cost much to try it. | |
| Do you agree with John Atkinson (and me)? @billstevenson My son is a young audiophile. The only music he owns on recorded media is what I’ve given to him. With current trends, that's not likely to change. I have no idea what I’ve spent on cds and vinyl. And 8 track tapes and cassette tap... | |
| USB Cables: beginning the rabbit hole @audphile1 I got a good chuckle out of that one. 😅 | |
| Should speakers be upgraded before preamp and amplifiers? VR-2 are probably 20 years old if I'm not mistaken. I have a pair of original VR-4 that I'm hanging onto for my son. I also think that you need to upgrade your receiver before the speakers. What are you using for a phono cartridge and phono p... | |
| R2R next? Don't like ESS My dac has four ESS9039SPRO chips and it's not at all edgy. I absolutely hate bright, harsh, and edgy sounds. My tinnitus probably doesn't help. It replaced an r2r dac which are typically warmer and less bright. One of the things that I like abo... | |
| "The room can totally wreck, or make, a system" I agree 100%. I've had a system in a number of different room sizes, shapes, ceiling heights, etc over the many years that I've been involved in this hobby. In some locations, I could hear the issues. Wasn't smart enough to do room treatment. My ... | |
| R2R next? Don't like ESS I think ESS chips get a bad rap because they are used in a lot of inexpensive dacs. I had a SMSL VMV D1SE dac with ESS chips. A nice dac for $700. I went to a more expensive r2r dac and it was better. I went to an even more expensive dac with E... | |
| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? @immatthewj I saw John Cougar Mellencamp open for KISS. Maybe 1979? I'd never heard of him and he was really good. Papa Roach opened for Shinedown several years ago. Both shows were awesome. | |
| Pure Silver Wire I have three or four pairs of inexpensive pure silver cables. I wouldn't describe any of them as bright or harsh. But, none of them are as good as my Black Cat Silverstar 88 cables. |
