| Who am I supporting? Many contemporary artists self release albums or have websites where they sell their albums. Purchasing from these sites is the only way to be sure the artist will profit from your purchase | |
| Bob Dylan sells his complete songwriting catalog! Managing Zappa’s musical legacy caused a lot of bad feelings between his kids. Bob is being smart by avoiding that sort of problem.Universal will probably mishandle the music trying to squeeze every penny they can out of it, but what else is new? | |
| The Future of Speakers? Sounds interesting. Thanks for posting. I may just wait for the chip implant that will bypass my ears and send my music directly to my brain.Seriously, technology is developing so fast that there's no telling what the future will look like. | |
| Is Modern Jazz an Oxymoron? All beautiful music. My kind of jazz. Ingrid Jensen is in the group Artemis which jjss49 recommended earlier. It’s a really good album (to my ear). I also recommend it. ARTEMIS - The Sidewinder - YouTube | |

| Are all of these NOS tube inventories real? How have we not consumed them already? Note that new tubes, or "currently manufactured tubes" for those who are seemingly confused about what NOS actually means NOS and NIB are descriptions that only apply to OLD STOCK tubes.

| Are all of these NOS tube inventories real? How have we not consumed them already? Tubes in the 40s, 50s and 60s were as common as transistors and all the chips of all varieties are now. Radios, TVs and just about any kind of electronic device were full of them. Radio and TV stations and many other large scale businesses used to... | |

| Looking for a basic streamer without a DAC, preamp, storage and all that The Node 2i has digital outs so it's easy to bypass its DAC. It's a good streamer and provides access to all kinds of services. The BluOs app is a really good basic one. Works flawlessly. I don't think there's much out there for less than $500. | |
| Looking for a basic streamer without a DAC, preamp, storage and all that There are many threads on streamers, streaming, etc. Here's one to get you started:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/streamer-with-no-dac?highlight=Streamer | |
| Diminishing returns? If it's a financial struggle and you're happy with your current player, don't upgrade unless you can listen to the new player in your system and feel it's worth the money.Sound quality improvements are hard to predict and the law of diminishing re... |
