Newer Blues Artists or Recordings
There are lots of mentions for some really good blues players on here, some I have never heard of.  Thanks @mitch2 for starting this conversation, now I will have to dig into some new music to listen to.  
Newer Blues Artists or Recordings
Unless I missed it, so far I don’t see any mention of Jonny Lang, his music is great. He started playing guitar at age 12, in his mid 40’s now I think. Another great blues band is Gov’t Mule.  
I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming
@nyonalake  I feel your pain, as a Comcast customer for the last 7-8 years I tried to go the route of buying my own cable modem to save some money on rental fees.  When I decided to buy a modem instead of renting I tried the cheap way first and g... 
What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another?
@curiousjim  I don't have Roon but that almost makes me curious enough to try it just to find out if it does change the sound of my N20.  That could be true I guess, but doesn't sound logical to me, am I missing something?  I have compared the so... 
What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another?
@audphile1 It certainly did on this one, it just absolutely blew my mind that there was that much difference in the sound after a couple weeks.  I have always been a believer in break in time but have never experienced that big of a difference i... 
What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another?
I will try to weigh in with my 2 cents worth on this subject, FWIW.  I owned what I considered a very good streamer with a suggested list price of around 6000.00, the only problem was the fact that I hated the app used to control it.  I finally go... 
A Few Nice Words For Upscale Audio
@thecarpathian  I stand corrected, I just did not see that I typed the word wrong even on the proof read.  Then again, I am not on this forum for lessons in perfect grammar or spelling and sentence structure.  No, I don't think I overreacted at a... 
A Few Nice Words For Upscale Audio
I have been doing business with Upscale for 4 years, I have always received great advise from them and have never been disappointed with any purchase from them.  Always first class service. and merchandise.  The absolutely rock!  
Does the streamer effect sound quality
Streamers make a bigger difference than I ever thought they would.  I have gone from a Cocktail X45 to an Auralic Aries G2.1, then to the Aurender N20, the difference in sound quality was a huge leap every time.  
Revopod vs IsoAcoustics Gaia 1's
Thanks ozzy, I think you were mentioned somewhere in the several messages between John and I.  And hey, by the way I have been working on getting my speakers leveled by the base all day and what do you know, they sound great and no one seems like ... 
Revopod vs IsoAcoustics Gaia 1's
Thanks @jmfinney I can tell just from the conversations with John from Townshend that they care a great deal about customer service.  
Revopod vs IsoAcoustics Gaia 1's
Well, I took a leap of faith and went ahead and ordered the Townshend's. Thanks ozzy for the recommendation, I will let you know how they sound when I have a chance.  
Revopod vs IsoAcoustics Gaia 1's
@ozzy  Yep, tweakers are going to tweak.  I can't help myself.  
Revopod vs IsoAcoustics Gaia 1's
@kennyc The IsoAcoustics made a big difference in the sound of my Sopra’s over the factory spikes and I have been pretty happy with them, but I know there is probably something better out there. So far the Townshends are at the top of my list ju... 
Revopod vs IsoAcoustics Gaia 1's
@ozzy  That is what I started out with, but in my room it drove me crazy that everyone sounded like they were sitting down, only after tilting them backwards the sound changed to a more realistic sound stage with performers standing.  And yes the...
