| Hegel H390 DAC Update: Cables needed for dac loop arrived today. Tonality with Aqua back in system in dac loop mode is no longer lean. The good news : noise is still absent. The bad news: sibilance has returned. I will try different xlrs to see whether the c... | |
| Happy Birthday Keith Richards. He's spoken about his stout constitution in the past and has credited his capacity to withstand abuse of varying persuasions and chemical formulations to genetics. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister I got your point for sure but answered as if not ... Got it! | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister I meant, if you had a harem, you might have to contend with jealouly among the women, but this would never happen with your music collection, no matter how many records/CDs you own! ;o) | |
| another rookie question - preamp or or power amp @grislybutter I already have had a lot of help here and I think I will be on the right track. Best of luck, then, moving forward! | |
| another rookie question - preamp or or power amp @grislybutter Unfortunately, upgrading "one tiny step at a time" is not a strategy that is likely to keep you satisfied in the long run. I dare say, everyone here, at some point, has experienced situations when we wanted to upgrade but simply co... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 Thanks for posting Joanne Brackeen. You’re welcome -- glad you find her enjoyable listening. She has the capacity to display the sort of power and intensity one associates with McCoy Tyner but very much in her own style. Another und... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @acman3 That J. Bracken album is an excellent example of one I would most likely have never found on my own, having read about it in the Penguin Guide. The Guide certainly has its shortcomings but overall, it’s had a major influence in my path o... | |
| another rookie question - preamp or or power amp @grislybutter In this case, upgrading to a better (used) integrated makes the most ense to me. | |
| Grateful Dead Dave's Pick's Volume 48 ......time to put a fork in this ! @larsman I do agree about PITB. I enjoy her harmony vocals circa ’76, ’77. @zlone My first Dead Show was in ’73 at San Diego Sports Area. Wake of the Flood tour. Joints were being passed around and unfortunately, one of my friends took a hit ... | |
| Grateful Dead Dave's Pick's Volume 48 ......time to put a fork in this ! @zlone I understand your thoughts on too much space around the players, but I guess I sort of groove on that a bit. Each to his/her own, there’s no right/wrong. There are other factors in it for me as well. There’s something about the sound ... | |
| How good is good enough? @jonwolfpell Doesn’t it essentially depend on both how much music reproduction means to us in conjunction w/ the number of 0’s in our bank account? I’d argue it also depends up now much MUSIC means to us, as opposed to its reproduction. Some ... | |
| Grateful Dead Dave's Pick's Volume 48 ......time to put a fork in this ! @zlone I guess I'm in a small minority -- I much prefer the band's sound-system in say, '72, to the Wall of Sound. To my ear, the WoS creates way too much space around each player. There are some excellent performances on the Movie sound-track... | |
| Grateful Dead Dave's Pick's Volume 48 ......time to put a fork in this ! @garebear Yes -- I have the Cornell Show, thanks. Having listened to it on cassette for many years before its official CD release, it’s simply not as fresh as it once was, to my ears. I actually prefer the Dave’s #1 and Dick’s # 3 shows from tha... | |
