| Schiit Loki Max? @mahgister You are of course correct in your assertion regarding timbre and tonal balance! If my words implied otherwise, that was sloppy thinking on my part. | |
| Schiit Loki Max? @mahgister Forgive me but I’m having difficulty locating my experience with EQ within your framework... so I must use my own framework in this case. For me, it’s not so much about timbre as it is about overall tonal balance-- most often the hig... | |
| Schiit Loki Max? @mike_in_nc "Did I really need it? No. Am I enjoying it? For sure!" ... and that's what matters, right? Life is short. You've made me curious about DigiKey -- I'll check them out. I may very well eventually pick up a Max -- it's just not at ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim My Jazz listening journey was, for quite awhile, very much influenced by the Penguin Guides to Jazz. I started out collecting the usual "classics" but the Guides also turned me on to lesser known recordings from the 50’s and 60’s as ... | |
| Russians display outstanding musicianship Glad to know you enjoy them, mahgister. They've done several US tours. I don't know if they can help bring the American and Russian populations closer together but I very much hope so. From what I've read, they've been received very enthusiastica... | |
| Schiit Loki Max? @mike_in_nc Good to know about the interface. I’ve had more pressing audio matters to attend to and as a result, haven’t bought a Max. Now, having read your post, I probably, won’t, as the distance from my listening chair to the Max would be mor... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim " I still really enjoy listening to simple 50’s-60’s style jazz and closing my eyes and imagining that I’m in some smoky nightclub on the lower east side, tapping my toe." Nothing wrong with that! I listen to that sort of stuff, to... | |
| Stephen Stills @tweak1 OK. Got it. Had no idea they covered this -- when you said you were a "huge SS fan", I erroneously assumed you were specifically referring to his own compositions. Yeah; this is pretty good. Personally I find many performances from th... | |
| Stephen Stills @tweak1 You mean, "Bluebird", recorded with B. Springfield? @roxy54 The only time I caught him live was in ’74 at the Hollywood Bowl. My high school friends and I had nosebleed seats but Stills was on fire. I guess you could call him a "beast... | |
| Determining exact power being sent to your speaker @mlsstl Your prickly defensiveness is entirely unwarranted. As I made no accusations, assertions or assumptions, I find it quite puzzling that you would describe my QUESTION as "putting words in [your] mouth". All I have to say on this topic... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister You’re most welcome... | |
| Happy Accident @mijostyn "Women can not change the laws of physics. Well, maybe they can just not when it comes to audio". 🤣 | |
| Determining exact power being sent to your speaker @mlsstl "I happen to be in the camp that is more concerned about the sound quality of an amp rather than whether it has a zillion watts" Just curious -- are you suggesting these two factors are mutually exclusive? I happen to enjoy both aspec... | |
| Jazz for aficionados BTW, the "spiritual Jazz" series is on the British label "Jazzman". Here is the discogs page for the series: https://www.discogs.com/label/528518-Spiritual-Jazz Not sure if they’ve all been released on both vinyl and cd. Thanks, @mahgister for... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister Is the Harrell/Hall "These Rooms", perhaps??? |
