| Do I need upgraded power cables? @bzawa You got your answer right away from @bigtwin. Order three or four from one of the online sellers that offer trial periods/refunds and audition them for yourself. Audio Advisor is one example. Personally, I favor The Cable Co. You can bor... | |
| ICs with slim RCA Barrels? @dseltz Have you heard the Less Loss DAC ? ? ? It never seems to get mentioned on the forum. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim OK. I was simply letting you know about a certain Aqua DAC available used from a dealer I directed you to in the past. It is perhaps the same unit I'd seen on their website but was gone the next time I checked. It seems to be bac... | |
| Audio Mirror Tubadour V - A Few Words of Appreciation @mact3333 You might check out this thread: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/six-dac-comparison | |
| Sarah Vaughan's Birthday! @klimt Try asking on the Jazz for Aficionados thread | |
| Chevy Silverado Truck Spanish Ads on Audiogon @oregon Pinchee Silverado! Cabrones! Hijo de la... Hah! I used to work in restaurants in So Cal with Mexican guys and I probably spoke more Spanish than English at work. I miss that kinda talk... | |
| I found a way to get around tariffs that will raise the price of audio equipment. @grannyring My question was intended to be rhetorical but thanks. | |
| Sarah Vaughan's Birthday! @klimt You're welcome, if that was directed towards me. | |
| I found a way to get around tariffs that will raise the price of audio equipment. @grannyring You can’t just talk politics here because one finds it interesting or just needs to vent. Not allowed here. It’s not allowed? Then why are Audiogon moderators so slow to step in and shut it down? Seems to me, this ambiguity is its... | |
| Sarah Vaughan's Birthday! I also like the stripped-down "Sarah Plus 2" and "After Hours", "Swings the Tivoli", "Live in Japan", "How Long Has This Been Going On?" and "Crazy and Mixed Up". The above inevitably reflects my general distaste for Jazz singers backed by orc... | |
| Ever heard Rockpile? @bdp24 I’ve listened to their studio stuff you’ve recommended in the past and to be honest, while I’ve recognized the talent, the music hasn’t really grabbed me. This live performance is more raw, direct and powerful. This I like! I wish the st... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @alexatpos I’ve only listened to it on youtube. I didn’t realize this material had been released before, so I can’t offer a comparison. If the sound were better, I would’ve bought it on CD already, but maybe this is better than other versions?... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @alexatpos I suspect you know that Resonance Records has not only released "Smokin’ in Seattle" , but they’ve also a half dozen or so additional Wes titles as well as previously unreleased recordings by other major Jazz artists. Wes and Bill Eva... | |
| ICs with slim RCA Barrels? @dseltz I asked because I've seen photos of their ICs with rca barrels that t looked like wood. And their DACs are housed in wood. | |
| Disagreements and Conflicts between Audiophiles have we lost our brotherhood and maturity? @whart I agree The current broad sense of polarization can and does color audio discussions (and many other topics of online discourse). This most often occurs unconsciously, so self-awareness is very helpful -- in other words, paying attention... |
