| DAC and Amplifier Synergy? @bluethinker FYI, in my experience, the Hegel H390 is definitely neutral (albeit with a slightly rolled off top end) and "propulsive". Check the Listen Up! website. They often have open box units for sale and accept returns. One way to audition... | |
| Jesse Colin Young has passed away. @soix “Get Together” is one of those seminal songs from the era that just instantly takes me back to my childhood, Yes. | |
| A great, great talk by Robbie Robertson on all things The Band. @bdp24 , @tomcy6 I watched "Once Were Brothers" last night. If Dominique Robertson is to be believed, Robbie and Garth struggled manfully to keep the band from swerving off the tracks for quite awhile while Levon, Rick and Richard indulged in h... | |
| Jesse Colin Young has passed away. Saw him in ’78 with B. Raitt at the Santa Barbara County Bowl. Good times. For me, the passing away of such artists has become symbolic of so much that I care about that is now being flushed down the proverbial toilet. | |
| The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype @niodari It’s a reality that some recordings will never sound very good, no matter how expensive the gear. In fact the more resolving the gear, the worse such recordings may sound. It seems a waste of time to me to focus gear upgrades on trying ... | |
| Some people actively participate but rarely if ever start a thread. @inna Yeah, you never know, and generally speaking, discussions now are not what they used to be ten or even fewer years ago, let alone twenty years. You used to ask a question about some tube or cable and there would be many posts and opinions... | |
| The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype @niodari Of course, amplifier and speakers have a greater effect. I would have to hear a demonstration of what you consider to be "more or less similar fashion". For me, tonality and musicality are first and foremost and in terms of these fact... | |
| The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype @niodari After a quite long time experience with DACs of different categories and prices I’m convinced that they make minor changes in overall sound reproduction and quality. I suggest all of them use similar kind the conversion methods, wherea... | |
| Your Favorite Ravel Solo Piano Recordings @chayro OK. I'll look into it. Thanks ! | |
| Big Jazz Band Music with Great Sound Maybe John Fedchock? | |
| The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype @tweak1 If there is a "scam", it's this idea that only the chip matters. | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters @slaw I’ve only heard "Hollywood Town Hall"... at least, I think that’s the right title. | |
| Help me build up a jazz album collection. Can you suggest a must have album? @2psyop You might benefit from buying the All Music Jazz Guide: https://www.amazon.com/All-Music-Guide-Jazz-Definitive/dp/087930717X It provides a useful overview and goes into various movements/styles as well as listing and reviewing tons of ... | |
| Your Favorite Ravel Solo Piano Recordings @newbee , @jmera Thank you both so much for your suggestions. I shall explore ! | |
| George Kaye @unreceivedogma I'd never heard of him but if he played with N. Brignola, he must've been an excellent player. Reading the article, I get the sense he was a not only a multi-talented individual but a person who who touched those he met in memora... |
