| Distinctly Digital Forever? Something always made me believe that a decent tube preamp could "mellow" or "naturalize" the sound of digital sources. Dgital sources can sound natural and even mellow, if that’s what you want. I prefer just natural and there are many choices ... | |
| Distinctly Digital Forever? So, just to further my understanding: assuming price no object, does there exist any DAC, or DAC/Pre combo, capable of making my streamer (or the best streamer in existence, for that matter) sound indistinguishable from an FM radio signal, That... | |
| Downloading question pertaining to HDTracks I haven't downloaded from HDTracks, so take this for what it's worth. They probably let you queue 3 songs so that you can walk away from your computer and keep it busy until you return. | |
| AAVIK THE BEST KEPT Sereat IN DIGITAL Thanks @arafiq for the very helpful information. That's not always easy to get. | |
| Passion, or ..... Precision? Ozzy, Rainbow, Lizzy and my beloved Status Quo etc. Their early material just doesn’t ’cut it’ on a high end system (IMO) and I find it more fatiguing to listen to. Modern technology and attention to detail in the recording studio has really date... | |
| AAVIK THE BEST KEPT Sereat IN DIGITAL Just to be clear, Dave, the S-280 is a streamer only, no DAC? The D-280 is a DAC only and the U-280 is an integrated amp with a DAC, correct? | |
| 12AX7 use in EVO 100 line A few years ago all the PL products used a mixture of 12AX7s and 12AU7s. Kevin Deal, PL importer in the US, talked the designer into using all 12AU7s because there were more available and many vintage12AU7s were cheaper than comparable 12AX7s. So... | |
| Psychologist dissects Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon' @jafant - You're welcome. Dave said the master tapes for the original were burned up in the Universal fire. He said he still liked the songs and still played them, so why not rerecord it. I'm glad he did. | |
| Rodney Crowell teams up with Jeff Tweedy. @bdp24 - I have to think it's an honest artistic challenge for Rodney, but we know those don't always work out. I hope it does, but we'll see. As Rodney sang about fame and lots of other things on "Close Ties" not too long ago, "I Don't Care Any... | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" @simao - Your rant against Ray Charles makes me think you've been listening to too much rap. Try something else for a while and your mood should improve. | |
| Psychologist dissects Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon' Roger Waters is another one of those people who achieve fame and fortune and all it does is make them angry and bitter. But if you think he’s angry and bitter now, if he puts out a Roger Waters version of Dark Side, the critical and commercial bea... | |
| Psychologist dissects Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon' Under the heading of Bad Ideas, Roger is going to rerecord Dark Side of the Moon: Roger Waters has rerecorded Pink Floyd classic The Dark Side of the Moon: “Let’s get rid of all this ‘we’ crap! It’s my project” | Guitar World | |

| Did vinyl sales just hit the proverbial brick wall? In 2021 turntables were the number one entertainment device sold on Amazon during the holiday season. Not if you include gaming consoles. That's where the youngsters spend their money. | |
