| Boz Scaggs Silk Degrees Blu-Spec II @celtic66 +1 I have no problem with Silk Degrees or an artist wanting to make some money. They have to pay the bills too. I have a problem if everything that an artist does is obviously for maximum commercial impact. Although it can be hard to... | |
| Boz Scaggs Silk Degrees Blu-Spec II You can never assume that a particular reissue is going to be an improvement over previous releases of an album. I guess it’s hard to get it right. Some reissue labels have a better track record than others, but it’s always best to give it a liste... | |
| Patricia Barber - Cafe Blue is an effects album I have never gotten Ms. Barber"s appeal. I haven't listened to all her stuff, but what I've heard hasn't motivated me to make the effort. Sounds like bland audiophile music to me. | |
| Best Place for Bootleg Recordings? Google DiscJapan (no space) They have it as The Everyday Sessions but this is the description: The Trinity Church Sessions For Broadcast Jan 31, 1999 | |
| Shoutout for the 432EVO Aeon III and Dave Lalin of Audio Intellect @bentonpix Do you prefer the 432 or 440 tuning? | |
| Gurf Morlix Don’t forget that Gurf produced three albums for Ray Wylie Hubbard between 1997 and 2005, Dangerous Spirits, Growl and Delirium Tremelos. There may be more. If you like Gurf you’ll probably like Ray Wylie. Part II (the sober part) of Ray Wylie’s... | |
| Is a highly discerning system enjoyable? It depends. You can have a system that lets you hear every detail on a recording and also engages you emotionally, or you can have a system that gets all the detail but none of the emotion. I have a pair of speaker cables that I can hook up with... | |
| I have found out why new cables and tweaks actually work! I know you’re joshing, erik, or trolling, but it is true that cleaning has both physical and psychological benefits on audio. Just for the record, the cleaning I referred to is the cleaning of connections, switches, volume pots, etc., althou... | |
| I have found out why new cables and tweaks actually work! @mceljo Depending on how your friend washed his car, if any of the suspension components got wet it’s possible that it could have a positive effect, at least temporarily, on the ride quality. Also, wet tires should be slightly softer (they cert... | |
| T+A elektroakustik HV Series Components @steve59, jays_audio_lab early on in his epic thread, My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each!, found an amp that he recommended for low volume listening. He felt it excelled at that, losing nothing at low volumes. I wish I co... | |
| I have found out why new cables and tweaks actually work! I know you’re joshing, erik, or trolling, but it is true that cleaning has both physical and psychological benefits on audio. I remember having a discussion with a friend many years ago when we used to drive beat-up old cars, my friend was baffle... | |
| Springsteen. Only the Strong Survive It is nice to hear Bruce not singing in his Woody Guthrie voice and the album is recorded very well. The songs don't have the soul of the originals, of course, but that's not a reason for him not to have a go at these songs he loves, and if it hel... | |
| Cryogenic Tubes - Time for a Change Before you ask a question about a topic that's likely to be controversial, it's best to do a search and see if it has been discussed before. Just type Cryogenic in the search box at the top of the page. | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? Is there really any proof that remasters have compressed dynamic range (the so called loudness war)? Is it just a mostly baseless term intended to invoke an emotion? Yes there is. Many Cds have been dynamically compressed since the early 90s. Y... |
