| Integrated Amplifier Recommendations Needed +1 for Parasound. I recently upgraded my TV/family room system with a lightly used Parasound Halo integrated purchased here on a-gon under $1500. I have an older pair of PSB Synchrony Ones in a very large room and the change has made a significa... | |
| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album BTW Speaking of Rhino Records, their Chicago Transit Authority reissue was a huge disappointment. 60 seconds in I had to jump up to find my fifty year old copy in order to make sure I hadn’t imagined those in your face horns and deep bass guitar... | |
| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album I have to say, it’s refreshing to hear a newbie that is not so focused on gear but instead discovering a time machine to other eras of great music. Let’s just take this opportunity to say, “right on.” I believe you are on the right path to audio... | |
| Greg Kihn @pgaulke60 +1 I saw Greg Kihn during that same time period at the Park West in Chicago and it was a fun show. Rockin’ good time. Side note for Jeopardy fans (both kinds): check out Weird Al Yancovic’s “I Lost on Jeopardy” | |
| The Audiophile Song - Who Can Relate? I played it for my wife too and when the singer went off on Patricia Barber we both lost it! Too funny. | |
| The Mavericks - " Moon and Stars '' ..... Mr. Bear, thank you for the great recommendation. The Tidal information page says “…If you loved them in 90s, Moon and Stars will remind you why” and that’s pretty much dead on. Some albums, often those whose songs vary in style from track to ... | |
| Well Recorded Classical Symphonic Recordings @jomace mentioned Solti and The CSO. @polkalover (really?) mentioned Ludwig van’s 9th. Beethoven’s 9th has always been a fave. I have an old MoFi I was lucky enough to find right here on A-gon for $35 (after seeing it my local music shop for a c... | |
| A nightmare regarding streaming? I got into streaming precisely because it enables the use of playlists, as well as discovering new artists. I have what most folks here would consider two entry-level systems that each use a Bluesound Node to stream files from Tidal or an attache... | |
| So, a reviewer just said something I need to talk about. This is beginning to sound like a circular argument. I care about music. And I care about sound, as a path to creating a more connected, more enjoyable listening experience. That’s always been the case, even before I had the knowledge or wher... | |
| I am looking to upgrade - looking for advice TJ, you have received a lot of good advice here so I’m just going to emphasize some of those things I heard that I mostly agree with. For starters, I owned a Debut Carbon (my brother has it now) and it’s a great entry level table. I would recommen... | |
| Heavy Vinyl @grossman616 Great quote from Boris The Blade. 👍 | |
| Tune of the Day What Was It You Wanted Betty LaVette | |
| Tune of the Day Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In) Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings also by Ms. Jones - Midnight Rider | |
| Used vs. new I have been fortunate with my used equipment purchases, especially here on A-gon where I found a power amp and blueray player in great shape for reasonable $$$. In the past I always bought new and came around slowly to the idea of used gear. Alt... | |
| Ripping CD's to hard drive +1 FLAC +1 dbPoweramp I tried all sorts of formats and ripping tools before I finally settled on these and they made the entire process so much better and faster. For someone like me that placed a lot of emphasis on accuracy when ripping, dbP... |
