Disappearing Jazz? If you are looking for contemporary jazz artists, look for Wynton Marsalis, Diane Krall, Norah Jones, Duke Jordan, Marcus Schwartz, Manu Katche, Joshua Redman. Really the list is infinite, there is no shortage of good ones. Good luck in your disco... | |
Need display help Why don’t you mount it on the wall? I have done it a couple of times. That’s where a flat screen TV really shines. If you have to hire someone to do it for you, it should not take more than a couple of hours. Good luck. | |
What should I upgrade first on my budget system? @coryb If you own the place, I would think the least expensive and most durable upgrade you can tackle now is to run a dedicated power line to your system together with a whole house surge protector. The whole thing will cost you less than $500 ... | |
Current model DVD with 5.1 / 7.1 analog out - "Oppo Like" features A search on eBay shows a lot of Oppo players for sale. If you like your Oppo why not getting another one or even better a 203? They are available. | |
Sad songs- We love them- We need them @tooblue Deepest condolences. You are one of the unlucky ones, we usually go first. Wish I could hug you. | |
Better music player alternative to Mac Air / laptop @lanx0003 I was in your shoes too like @ghdprentice and @jbuhl except I didn’t give up my digital files collection for streaming. I stream in addition to listening to my collection. Do a search for Melco audio and familiarize yourself with t... | |
What is the added value of a streamer over a networked dedicated Computer @napoleoninrags16 I had the same setup some years back. My mini was optimized with SSD and a better power cable, also the software was trimmed to eliminate all unnecessary processes. I enjoyed the hell out of it for a while. Then I got a Melc... | |
Recommendations for HiFi Listening Room You cannot go wrong with the Persona 3F. I would spend a couple of hundred getting a dedicated line to the room to make sure I got the foundation right. I can’t comment on the rest. Good luck although you are already lucky to have her. | |
Break in time necessary and if so how long for Dynaudio Heritage Special ? Don’t do anything to mitigate until about 300 hours. Be patient. It’s going to change and hopefully for the better. Hang in there. | |
My Major System Upgrades in 2022 and Impact of Each Good job. Enjoy it. | |
Are there any more good multi format disc players out there? @jonasandezekiel Oppo made some nice multi-format players. Although they are out of business, there are plenty of used ones for sale like the BDP-205. I burned all of my CDs and SACDs into a Melco server so that I can get the best of both wo... | |
Best new audiophile rock album Nice album. Listening to it on Tidal now. Wow! | |
Best tutorial for cartridge setup Probably Michael Framer’s DVD. | |
Coax or RCA question? The DAC in the 8802 leaves a lot to be desired. I used an external DAC with mine. Your mileage may vary as everything is a matter of personal taste. Ultimately, you are going to have to hear for yourself. | |
Single vs Bi-wire Speaker Cable Anyway you could buy both, try each one, keep the one that you feel works best and return the other one. Everyone will have a somewhat different opinion on this. It’s not very clear cut. Sorry. |
