| Led Zep Fool in the Rain @vuch I’d encourage you to find some videos and learn a shuffle as it’s one of the most fun beats you’ll play. Listen to songs like “Home at Last” or “Reeling in the Years” by Steely Dan, “Fool in the Rain” by Led Zep, or “Rosanna” by Toto among ... | |
| Help With New Preamp Decision I believe all of the options I posted originally are fully balanced XLR, it is an option on the MicroZOTL I would double check that. Last I looked you don’t get fully balanced in Backert preamps til you get above the Rhumba, but I could be wron... | |
| Led Zep Fool in the Rain @ibmjunkman She’s so damn impressive. If I’d nitpick I’d say she needs to work on the fills and 7-stroke rolls, but that’s little stuff and she gets the important stuff right including the all-important feel of the groove. I’ll tellya what as a ... | |
| Help With New Preamp Decision Excellent info — thanks for that! Given what you’ve said I’d be looking squarely at the MP3 because it’s fully balanced. I think the LTA would be next followed by the Backert (Terry London reviewed both a marginally preferred the LTA), but I don’t... | |
| Time, Wear, and Technological Evolution If you like the sound of the speakers I’d play with speaker placement first. Just as an exercise, try pulling the speakers out another foot into the room and drop the crossover to the sub to around 40-45Hz and see what happens. My guess is that 40... | |
| Led Zep Fool in the Rain @quincy Thanks for that. I hadn’t heard it, but that made me think, why? Then I realized I don’t own any Led Zep albums. Yeah, I know. I also don’t own any Who albums, which made me ask, why? Upon further reflection I realized I’ve never been a fa... | |
| DAC comparison. Cheap vs expensive with 15 test tracks Always wanted to try the VBS, but rarely for sale separately Yeah, and although I’m not familiar with your 1.5 it may well need to be upgraded as well to even accept the VBS, so there’s that wrinkle as well. I’ll just say it’s worth keeping in... | |
| Help With New Preamp Decision You’ve got some excellent contenders but really depends on what improvements/sound characteristics you’re looking for as many of them sound very different, so personal taste is absolutely key. | |
| can subwoofers make things worse? That neck bearded reviewer on the vid though...he kinda looks/ sounds like a 1 note boom @deep_333 Heh heh. Good points BTW. | |
| New Amp... Is it time to switch my speaker cables?? Please don’t laugh, but these will do what you’re looking in spades (pun intended) at a bargain price. If I’m a liar you can turn around and sell them for little/no loss, but if they work you’ll save a bundle — so why not? https://www.usaudiomart... | |
| Led Zep Fool in the Rain @onhwy61 Thanks for that — hadn’t seen it before. Gotta love Bernie Purdie! The Purdie shuffle was actually the first shuffle I learned and then moved on to Bonzo’s “Fool in the Rain” shuffle that’s a quite bit different. @hifiguy42 Thanks for br... | |
| Led Zep Fool in the Rain @roxy54 Yeah, I didn’t really think of that but you may well be right. Good point. | |
| DAC comparison. Cheap vs expensive with 15 test tracks Bel Canto makes really nice DACs that I think fly somewhat under the radar today. I reviewed their DAC3 and then their DAC3VB with their virtual battery supply (VBS) and they were excellent. It was amazing how much improvement the VBS provided t... | |
| Why do I prefer R2R over Chip based DAC's? @cdc Just generalizing because there can obviously be differences between individual models, but my experience is an overall more natural sound with better imaging and deeper 3D soundstage — this is versus a decent single-bit DAC BTW. Just my exp... | |
| "Count Me In" Documentary on Netflix That was a gift. I very much enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing. Not enough good shows about drummers out there. |
