| Your last concert was to see who and when? Dandy Warhols in mid-October. Tiny venue but they were great. | |
| Does a particular musician’s songwriting and artistry speak to you above all others? Ray Davies would be at the top of my list with David Bowie, Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush, Tom Verlaine and lately Molly Rankin (Alvvays) is really moving up in my estimation. | |
| Female vocals I like many female artists but not female vocalists. There are plenty of female artists who write, play and sing their music. I've mostly not been enamored by a vocalist with a few exceptions. I just enjoy the female pov and they mostly do not ten... | |
| Martin Logan vs. Everything I think there are people who like or get the electrostatic or planar sound and others who don't. If you really like or love that sound, don't worry about what others think or tell you. | |
| Is my amp good enough? Agree that you should hear the new speakers with the amp and pre. I had always heard, never experienced myself, that NAD was a very good match with Monitor Audio. I personally owned several NAD amps (pre-class D) and always liked the sound. | |
| Looking for intermediate-step Streamer: better than BS Node and not @ Bartok level pricing That's what I've heard so I've ordered a decent coax cable. Going to connect it to a T+A Dac 200 which is still in its box. Going to be interesting. I have a decent USB cable too so I may test out both. | |
| Looking for intermediate-step Streamer: better than BS Node and not @ Bartok level pricing Thanks. | |
| Looking for intermediate-step Streamer: better than BS Node and not @ Bartok level pricing @norust Congrats. I've also bit on the Aurender N200 and it is expected Wednesday. A few questions. Have you tried both USB and Coax connections? If so, which do you prefer? What DAC are you using? Have you stored local music yet? If so, any advi... | |
| Looking for intermediate-step Streamer: better than BS Node and not @ Bartok level pricing @norust I wonder if you've had an opportunity to receive the N200 and give initial impressions. Inquiring minds and all. | |
| BEST little know Jazz Album that you ever heard? Not much of a jazz-hound but John McLaughlin's first album: Extrapolation. | |
| Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!! Spatial Audio Labs X5s. I thought that it was the end of the rainbow but I've gone through a bunch of different amps finally getting my endgame integrated (Don Sach's Valhalla). Then there is the speaker cables and now there is the source so, as... | |
| New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan @jrimer I went to my first audio show in July this year at Pacific Audio Fest and that is one of the main things I noticed along with several rooms playing music too loud. A lot of modern music doesn''t have wide open space and is more challenging... | |
| Eversolo v. HiFi Rose @tonyptony Not quite so simple because the streamer without the Dac (rs130) is more expensive than the streamer with the Dac (rs150). Plus the rs130 price moves it into Aurender, Innous and Lumin price territory. | |
| Looking for intermediate-step Streamer: better than BS Node and not @ Bartok level pricing @norust and @jmfawdofile I'm in the same boat. I would really like to know what you (norust) think about the Aurender N200 as that is one I'm looking at closely. I don't think I want to buy Aurender used as they don't transfer warranties and ... | |
| Pairing with LS50 for whole home audio I have the KEF LS50 metas and they seem to love Class D amplification if that helps at all. |
