| Who is ditching their shiny disc spinners? I apologize for my uneccessary snarkiness re: the Oppo. My experience with them has been underwhelming. However, if it sounds good to you in your system. that's all that matters. | |
| Who is ditching their shiny disc spinners? My Moon transport + Aqua DAC combo sounds great to me.I have no desire to spend the time ripping cds.I like physical media. I've read many posts by people saying how much better purely digital playback sounds only to discover their "benchmark" for... | |
| All Things Must Pass 50th Anniversary sets due to be announced tomorrow @tomcy6:Some "added sonic clarity" would be most welcome ! ! ! | |
| Alvin Lee or Snowy White? I tend to prefer more melodic, lyrical players so it's S. White for me, just like it's P. Green over SRV. Just my taste. | |
| Singer Songwriters Rarely Mentioned By Audiophiles @rushfan:I thought V. Fernandez was a vocalist, not a singer-songwriter who wrote her own material. Am I mistaken? | |
| Singer Songwriters Rarely Mentioned By Audiophiles @waltersalas:We may "hear him differently" but I can assure you that I don't have any problems with McMurtry's politics, if that's what you're wondering. | |
| Singer Songwriters Rarely Mentioned By Audiophiles @waltersalas: There's no doubt that J. McMurtry is highly skilled but, personally, I find his decidedly cynical viewpoint blunts my desire to listen to him more than just ocassionally. I'd strongly suggest you check out Anna Tivel if you admire "g... | |
| PS audio new 25K dac and the psychological effect of owning a company's best. That "psychological effect" is a highly unstable phenomena! There will always be an Obsidian Ted Smith Signature MKII over the horizon. Some people cannot get off the merry-go-round. It is their misfortune to have the money to endlessly chase an u... | |
| Diana Krall @tweak1:"What, no Billie Holiday... no Ella?"Nope.I listen to what pleases me. My CD collection is definitely not set up to mimic an encyclopedia of Jazz. Many "greats" are missing, simply because, there are other artists whose work I much prefer.... | |
| Anyone else loving Audio Art Cables? I've been buying cables from Rob for a long time, with the exception of IC's, which is no reflection on him-- silver simply sounds better than copper to me, in my system-- probably because my integrated and DAC are both fairly warm-sounding. My mo... | |
| Diana Krall @tweak1:"Different strokes..."Yes, of course...I guess the bottom line is that DK sounds more like a lounge singer than a Jazz singer to me and I simply prefer the latter. Helen Merrill, Sarah Vaughan, Sheila Jordan, Betty Carter and-- to mention ... | |
| Zappa Recommendations ? @pfeiffer:Waka/Jawaka and The Grand Wazoo are two Cds I plan to buy.I haven't checked out Chunga's Revenge, yet. . . | |
| Diana Krall I've never understood her appeal. Like Patricia Barber, she seems to be particularly favored by audiophiles. | |
| Please clear up my confusion re: meaning of "balanced" ! Ordered Jotunheim (amp only). The black units are back-ordered 6-8 weeks and although I'd prefer black, as it would match all my other components, I went with silver, as I simply didn't want to wait that long. In the meantime, Patrick Cullen is ma... | |
| Zappa Recommendations ? @heretobuy:Thanks for the suggestions. |
