Beatles Get Back documentary
I remember reading a quote from John Lennon saying something like he thought that Phil Spector had done a great job on Let It Be considering the load of crap that we gave him to work with.  
Beatles Get Back documentary
While it’s clear there was a lack of motivation, I found the collaborative process of their songwriting depicted in the first two segments absolutely fascinating, and it showed that, even though the band was on its last legs for numerous reasons,...

Sound and picture are very high quality. Let me add to my first post after, "...the other three don't really want to be there," and aren't prepared to record a new album.  There's a lot of wasted time and groping around for a direction and new so... 
Beatles Get Back documentary
You’re right there in the studio with them. The only problem is they’re recording Let It Be not Revolver or another happier, more creative session. It looks to me like this is Paul’s idea and the other three don’t really want to be there. That sai... 
How many of you are digital only systems?
For reference I am running an Innuos Zenith mkIII feeding a Chord Qutest.   You may want to try a different DAC.  I haven't heard the Qutest, but from what I read here the Chords are on the lean, detailed end of the spectrum.

A Record Collection/Moral Conundrum - What Would You Do?
We haven't touched on the other side of the moral question.  By allowing your friend to not pay back his loan and letting you hold onto his records for many years and then giving them back to him, you are encouraging this type of behavior.  Is tha... 
best for 6sl7 and 6sn7 tube nos?
I am a believer in NOS tubes, but I don't have experience with those.  Call Brent Jessee or Andy Bouwman of Vintage Tube Services and they'll help you get the right tubes. 
DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend
imaging, though, is another matter, as nice as it is when well portrayed on our rigs -- but what is real or not is highly debatable (and suspect), in fact it is pretty much entirely ’manufactured’ That’s true, but we are not listening to a live ev... 
A Record Collection/Moral Conundrum - What Would You Do?
My humble nonprofessional opinion, the records are yours and don't spend any money on a lawyer. 
The "British Invasion". A question for you old farts out there.
You've got to remember that The Beatles hadn't matured yet in 64 and 65.  They were still a teen pop band not that different from the DC 5.  Looking back on their entire careers, there's no comparison, but in the early days the DC 5 were competiti... 
The "British Invasion". A question for you old farts out there.
I remember radio stations doing battle of the bands between the Beatles and the DC 5.  Can't remember who won though. 
An interesting demonstration
@mijostyn, In your opinion, did the Marantz and Accuphase separates sound the same?
