| When You Buy The Whole Album And Only Like One Song. @artemus_5 My wife and I used to drive to Oakland to hear live Jazz and most of the audiences were comprised of old white guys, some with female companions. That club was one of the finest venues for live Jazz in the country and now, very rarely ... | |
| Wha'choo lookin' at? My speakers flank a hearth. The wall space above the mantle is dominated by a Tanka print. This is attractive but not distracting. It's just there. . . which fosters listening. Personally, I wouldn't want anything that might seriously detract fro... | |
| When You Buy The Whole Album And Only Like One Song. @russ69 "I buy full albums but I'm old school and don't stream". You're not alone, brother. I too only buy "full albums"-- CDs in my case-- and then, only if I like every (or very nearly every) song. I grew up in the 60's/70's when an albu... | |

| New In 2022 It sounds like, from what Dave L. says in his introductory video, that they plan to re-release only five shows on CD, including 5/26 Lyceum. Vinyl fans, it seems, will be more generously catered to, in this regard. Drat! | |
| New In 2022 J.A.; are the Dead re-releasing all of the shows from the '72 Europe tour? | |
| Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired OK. Thanks. I was just curious-- I have no reason to get rid of my Aqua. BTW, I wish all audio reviewers emulated your approach! | |
| Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired @dbb Any chance you can recommend a US made DAC with sonics similar to the May? | |
| The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same? @chayro Exactly! | |
| Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3 I can't compare them re: sound but I find the Jay's MKIII much (!) more pleasant to use than the diminutive Pro-ject that I quickly returned. | |
| One guitar, or three? @bdp24 "Now, there is Jazz I like, names you would expect: Count Basie (man did his band swing!), Ellington, Mose Allison, Ray Charles, early Big Joe Turner, Cab Calloway. Composers including Irving Berlin, Bernstein, Gershwin, etc." I apologiz... | |
| One guitar, or three? @bdp24 OK. . . but the sound of horns is not restricted to "squawking". There are folk singers whose off-key singing can be plenty dissonant. If you are asserting that Jazz is inherently dissonant or hectic, I can't agree, unless you're talking ... | |
| The Law of Accelerating Returns I'd suggest the jealously factor depends on one's focus. If one is, above all, interested in having the latest, greatest new flavor or the most boutique gear or the most advanced topology or the most elegantly sculpted casework, etc., I'd submit o... | |
| High quality CDs @rman9 My mistake! immattewj is correct about MoFi not offering Clasical hybrid sacds. The Classical titles I've seen on Music Direct are on the Analogue Productions label: https://www.musicdirect.com/music?#/+/0/score/desc/?tab=products&a... | |
| Why do folks spend more on electronics than on speakers? @mulveling +1 |
