| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? Here are some of my ideas of accessible, melodic jazz: Curtis Stigers - Gentleman Jan Harbeck Quartet - The Sound The Rhythm, Copenhagen Nocturne Kenny Burrell - Midnight Blue Lynne Arriale Trio - The Eyes Have It, When You Listen Mark Isham ... | |
| Same Cooke- Heard this one? Yeah. I've got it on Sam Cooke's Night Beat. All the songs have that laid-back late-night feel. Sam had an incredible voice. He was a big influence on Rod Stewart and Southside Johnny, both of whom did Sam Cooke medleys in their shows. I'm su... | |
| The end of physical media is neigh Streaming will not disappear, but it could become much more expensive, and the way things go, it probably will. | |
| The end of physical media is neigh There are a ton of 8 track players for sale on ebay, so CD and blu-ray players should be available for as long as you'll be around. You probably have more CDs, etc. than you could listen to in your remaining lifetime, why worry? | |
| Esoteric cd players volume control p.s. There is a full review of the TEAC UD-701N streaming D/A preamplifier in the December '24 Stereophile. | |
| Esoteric cd players volume control @rolee910 The Esoteric N-05 XD and N-01 XD have volume controls but do not spin CDs. They are called Network Players. Here’s a link to a column in Stereophile about a TEAC CD transport. The matching Streamer/DAC/ Preamp is called the UD-701N an... | |

| Has anyone had an order fulfilled by Boltz.com in the 2024 or 2023 calendar year? Thanks for the warning. Sorry to hear about your experience. They used to be a good company. I'm glad that you filed a complaint. I hope something is done about it. | |
| HiFi legends ageing and going deaf What you describe could happen, but I think that designers also look at measurements which would alert them to their worsening hearing and its effect on their designs. | |
| Plasma Tweeters - Do they still exist? There are four pair of Lansche plasma tweeter speakers for sale on Agon right now. | |
| Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs I understand @fauguy , my situation is much worse than yours. I’d go listen even if they don’t have the models you’re interested in. My guess is that the two brands have a different house sound and that you would prefer one over the other. That ... | |
| Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs @fauguy , Yes the upconversion settings do apply to CDs and I would guess, but the manual doesn't say it, they would apply to streamed PCM also. There appears to be only one digital filter. I agree with @goose, these are probably not settings th... | |
| Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs Here is what the K-03XS manual says about upsampling: Upconversion setting UPC>*** This setting can be made for each input. During Super Audio CD playback, the DSD signal is sent as is to the D/A converter without being upconverted. ORG - (... | |
| If you haven't yet discovered Rosie Flores..... I love Rosie. In spite of her low profile she keeps playing and singing. She just won't quit, and she's good! | |
