| How much does a DAC do the more expensive it is? You might consider swapping out the oppo for a transport such as Jay's or pro-ject first. Seems to me it makes more sense to ensure you're extracting as much data from disc's as possible before moving to a more expensive DAC. | |
| RIP David Lindley @tablejockey You and me, both... I saw Lindley 3 times-- twice on his own and once with El Rayo X. Never managed to catch J. Beck live. | |
| RIP David Lindley Well, this sucks. | |
| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? My major period of exploration was from about age 25 through 45, focused on Jazz. Since then, the new music I've enjoyed has pretty much all been Americana/New grass. However, I seem to be finding less and less new music enjoyable. I once rega... | |
| Jarrett interview from a week ago I hadn't been aware of the extent of Jarrett's frailty. I enjoy Beato's passion | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" This again? Criticizing other's esthetic preferences is not likely to result in a change in said preferences. And trying to justify one's subjective taste with objective arguments only adds fuel to the fire. What a waste of energy... ... | |

| Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time "It's always been a mentorship thing for me" ... before the advent of the internet, obviously... Now, it's easier than ever to explore unfamiliar musical territory. | |
| How do you stop house guest from damaging your speakers? @bwang29 "Do I tell guests not to physically touch the speakers?" Frankly, I'm astonished that anyone would behave this way. Any non audiophile guests we have usually ignore the system altogether -- it's so foreign to them, they tend to comple... | |
| Dylan's Time Out of Mind remix is Stunning @asctim "Either way it's a great album". Agreed! | |
| Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time @bdp24 "While the "Country" music you hear on radio and see on TV may be of questionable quality, there is a very healthy, active underground "alternative" Country music scene, often referred to as Americana, that is producing music as good as h... | |
| Dylan's Time Out of Mind remix is Stunning @asctim Everyone hears differently and listens on different systems... all you can do is listen and see how it strikes you. Each to his/her own. | |
| Dylan's Time Out of Mind remix is Stunning @hartf36 "So one could say the original production is closer to what Dylan heard in his head, and so...........is what HE really wanted us to hear." Yes-- the operative word being wanted --- past tense. At the time, that's what he wanted... or... |
