| Eric Clapton on J.J. Cale I agree with you about Jorma's electric playing on anything later than "Surrealistic Pillow."I can also name a drummer who proves your point. Antonio Sanchez with Pat Metheny. The guy ruins the music by constantly bashing and crashing away, just... | |
| Eric Clapton on J.J. Cale Like you, I prefer ensemble playing to flash, but you’ve picked the wrong players to make your point. The Who was an ensemble consisting of four players, none of whom were replaceable. Keith Moon’s style of drumming was perfect for The Who and was... | |
| SQ lacking Something is wrong. You should be enjoying crisp clear sound.You might want to further describe your system (cd transport - dac - preamp - headphone amp). You say you have a dac/headphone amp. You should be able to connect your cd transport to the... | |
| News: Qobuz Hi-Res platform's debut is scheduled for this October. See Qobuz Links below Thanks for the update. I'm looking forward to trying Qobuz too. | |
| Tube suggestions for hybrid integrated amp It's good to hear that the NOS tubes worked out well for you. Maybe you'll want to try a different brand of tubes one of these days. | |
| Dac Technology Mature? Digital is still in its infancy, IMHO. It will continue to improve for a long time to come. | |
| How to find the good CD recordings? George, As far as a guide to cds goes, I don’t think Deep Blues will help much.I see that All Music is still doing a print version Guide to the Blues (as recently as 2003 anyway):https://www.amazon.com/All-Music-Guide-Blues-Definitive/dp/087930736... | |
| How to find the good CD recordings? n80, One way to learn about blues recordings is by reading. Much has been written about the blues and which are the best examples of different subgenres such as delta blues, Piedmont blues, Chicago blues, Texas blues, etc. The thing is, many bl... | |
| Streaming Quality Test - Lumin U1 vs. PS Audio Direcstream DAC vs Bridge II Dave and Troy,sfseay was listening to two different streamers through the same Dac, not different Dacs. | |
| Blocking the propaganda Glupson, geoffkait thinks that his posts are brilliant and funny. He doesn’t care that most people don’t share that opinion. He loves to get into back and forths that provide no useful information or humor. Unless you enjoy going back and forth wi... | |
| Streaming Quality Test - Lumin U1 vs. PS Audio Direcstream DAC vs Bridge II So what you are saying is that the Bridge II streams the bits to your Directstream Dac as well as the U1. That's really not that surprising and means you should sell the U1. | |
| Rodney Crowell Rodney has decided to get really serious about his music the last few years, not that he was unserious about it before, and he has put out some great stuff. I'm looking forward to hearing this one | |
| CDs Vs LPs Ralph, It is possible that vinyl does not sound good to some people, just as some people will not listen to digital in any form, even Lps that have digital anywhere in their lineage. We all hear differently. | |
| Bad experience with PurePower of Canada Thanks for the warning. | |
| CDs Vs LPs Album is the term that Lps and Cds share. Sgt. Pepper’s is an album whether it’s on Lp or Cd.The term album comes from the days before vinyl. You could only fit one song per side on 78s made of shellac. So if you wanted a collection of your favori... |
