| Best Covers Lots of great covers listed already. +1 Greg Allman, These Days, but Nico’s is my fave cover of the song. +1 for all the Johnny Cash covers. The American Recordings are sensational. Let me turn it around and point out a great cover of one of J C... | |
| Your greatest high end audio purchase!!! I bought two components in the early 1980s with sonic signatures that matched quite well my listening biases/preferences: - a pair of Spica TC-50 speakers - a counterpoint sa-7 preamp These two components, combined with various front ends and a... | |
| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. @unreceivedogma i’m hardly new here. I’ve been around for nearly 15 years, but don’t feel a need to comment on every thread; I try to reserve comments for discussions in which I have something appropriate or useful to say. It’s a shame you see tha... | |
| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. @asmithkash I couldn’t agree more. I’m always thrilled by these kinds of discussions, for the opportunity they provide to learn about music I know not yet. I drew from this one a list of 8-10 LPs with which I am unfamiliar. They will guide my next... | |
| Router for Audio Streaming @wsrrsw Thanks very much. I suspected an LPS would darken the background, at minimum. Did you explore the effectiveness of the PSU without the clock, and the clock without the PSU? | |
| Router for Audio Streaming @wsrrsw I just picked up an uptone audio etherregen. Uptone claims there is no need for an LPS with it. Can you elaborate on your experience with the after dark PSU and clock with your etherregen? | |
| Router for Audio Streaming @yoramguy1 I recently had my ISP install the most recent router they have available for their customers: Calix. I was surprised to see and hear significant improvements in the video and audio performance on my television and the audio delivered fr... | |
| Still looking for a new Moving Coil Cartridge +1 for the Grado If you haven’t listened in a while to a MM cartridge in your system, I encourage you to give the Grado a spin. I currently have the Hana ML mounted on my TT. I like it, but it demands a good deal more of my phono pre than the Gra... | |
| Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!! @kennymacc Congratulations on finding your endgame speakers. What a joy to complete a big equipment search and move on to the music again! +1 Reference 3A mm de Capo I’ve been drawn all my life to time aligned speaker designs using simple crosso... | |
| USB Cable Let me start with a disclaimer: my system is modest in comparison to those of others who have responded to this question. A move to a smaller home 10 years ago forced me from my multi-component tube based Counterpoint system, fully upgraded by Mik... | |
| The greatest Pop song yet written and recorded. @tylermunns Thanks for that list of Carole King songs. It’s incredible and I’ll be listening to them all week long. @bdp24 Thanks for initiating this thread. I’m enjoying it thoroughly! I haven’t the understanding of music theory to approach... | |
| Being alone with your music Sitting alone as a child in my room listening to music on my portable record player or old tube AM radio made me who I am today. And, of course, it made me a loner, someone totally self-sufficient, comfortable with my own company. Hail, hail rock-... | |
| What was your first record? Went to visit a friend one Saturday when I was eight and wound up spending the afternoon in his older brother’s room listening to rock and roll 45s. Begged my folks for a copy of Dion’s The Wanderer. My first LP was The Beach Boys Surfin’ Safari, ... | |
