| Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC @audphile1 , @mitch2 Because I've run into a situation where the barrels on an rca IC pair didn't fit the Jacks on my Hegel H390 (several other cables fit just fine), I'm inclined to give the dac builder the benefit of the doubt but I can't defi... | |
| Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC @audphile1 ... or getting the cable reterminated. I reached out to Synergistic but they haven’t responded yet. Regarding the poor fit, the interior dimension of the barrel of the male rca end of the adapter is too big compared to the exterior o... | |
| Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC Both the DAC and the Cardas adapter arrived today. I was excited to hook up everything, only to quickly realize the Cardas adapter is way too big for the RCA input on back of the DAC. Given the cost of audio gear and what a pain it can be to a... | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters @slaw Yes --I've listened to them some on spotify. I don't know how to categorize them, though... | |
| Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC Wow-- sorry for my inattention. I had no idea so many had responded. I hope you’ll forgive me not responding to every response, individually. I received pneumonia and shingles shots yesterday and am not "feeling up to par" (my hair’s no longer lo... | |
| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? Freddie King opening for Elvin Bishop (if you think it should’ve been the other around, I agree). I was in high school -- it was either ’73 or ’74. That was some of the most intense Blues guitar playing I’ve witnessed in person, culminating in "Go... | |
| A great singer you may have never heard, or even heard of. Since this thread is turning toward recommending singers, I'll once again suggest two superb Jazz singers I never see mentioned on the forum: Tina May and Jackie Ryan. | |

| A great singer you may have never heard, or even heard of. @bdp24 Never listened to him, before. "Spanish Stroll" is the first tune I grabbed off youtube. I have no idea what his other material might sound like but to these ears, his vocals are very reminiscent of Lou Reed, here...not only the vocal ton... | |
| LoFi @rvpiano Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise - an opportunity to make a course correction. | |
| Congratulations to Gillian Welch and David Rawlings! @slaw Didn't intend to suggest you were. I'm just disappointed by the fact that they take turns with the vocals on this release, as opposed to their older recordings where Gillian sang lead on everything. | |
| New remastering of Steely Dan's Katy Lied review by Fremer @hilde45 There is still some problematic aspects to the original recording... A shame, indeed. KL is one of my favorite SD albums. I mean, really, 1 in 100,000 people have a system like that, so it’s a terrible baseline for making a record.... | |
| what is more popular silver or black face plates @bdp24 Fender is making class D modeling versions of those amps-- the so-called Tone Master series. There are good reports on their sonics but complaints about their pricing and concerns about whether they can be adequately serviced. | |
| Congratulations to Gillian Welch and David Rawlings! I guess I’m in the minority. Given a choice to listen to Gillian or David sing, I’ll take Gillian every time. However, I do greatly admire and enjoy David's guitar playing. He’s in a select small group of guitarists who truly possess a style all t... |
