| Favorite moment with music in your car. I was 13 and sitting in my Dad's car while he picked up dry cleaning. The DJ on the radio said the next song is from an English group with funny haircuts. "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" came on and my life was changed forever. When my Dad returned I... | |
| It's the Cicadas! With all the recent concerns about power surges and solar storms, I thought people might be on edge, listening for problems. So I decided to reassure everyone that their systems were okay if they hear that sound. Now, if you hear a low frequency h... | |
| Those rare albums that are great on first listen. @taheeti Audiogon messages don't allow a reply. Some issue with security. Anyway, when I listened to Sardonicus on vinyl I was not in a state of mind to notice anything but the music. I would have assumed any sound was intentional. Never had ... | |
| Those rare albums that are great on first listen. There are many records I loved the first time for the music and still do. Focusing on Audiophile SQ, here are a few more. Roseanne Cash. The River and the Thread. SQ is breathtaking. Sarah McLaughlin. Mirrorball Sarah Jarosz. Build Me Up From B... | |
| Those rare albums that are great on first listen. @pooreboy +1 on Petty. All his albums sound different but great. I was gonna list Wildflowers as maybe the best recording. Shadow People is one of my "Test" songs when evaluating changes. | |
| Those rare albums that are great on first listen. A reissue of 12 Dreams would be a real treat. It was my favorite trip back in the day and is one of the few psychedelic albums I still listen to. Ear candy. | |
| Sam Ash closing Hopefully it will lead to more local businesses catering to the specific needs of the local musician community. | |
| Those rare albums that are great on first listen. Sarah Jarosz. Undercurrent Buddy and Julie Miller. Breakdown on 20th Ave S. | |
| A great video on an artist you may not be aware of. Participants include Elvis Costello. Another album catching my ear is Trail of Flowers by Sierra Ferrell. After listening to it 3 times, I got curious. Sure enough, the same producer/engineer from Sarah Jarosz and Allison Krause is involved. @bdp24 Hopefully you're not too old to... | |
| A great video on an artist you may not be aware of. Participants include Elvis Costello. Living in Nashville for the past 30 years, I've had the pleasure of seeing Jim and other great artists many times. Jim, Marty Stuart, Buddy Miller, Emmylou and several others often host charity events, music celebrations, and local shows that are ... | |
| IFi Zen Stream connection problem — hardwired from Wi-Fi extender I've found that my WIFI extender tends to lose connection with my router. I eventually took it offline. Some devices are super sensitive to fluctuations in network speed. Even a brief slowdown can kill the connection. So your complex WiFi routing ... | |
| Anyone listen to entire albums? +1 @bwguy It's about 50-50 for me. Certain albums don't go on a playlist because they need to be listened to as a whole. But having my personal radio station (playlist over 2000 songs) is great when I don't know what I want to hear. Fortunately ... | |
| Audiogon Seller Communication Maybe Agon should institute a time limit for shipping. If seller misses it, buyer has option to cancel and get refund. | |
| Cool running, low powered power amp I've used Duct fans to get more AC into distant rooms. | |
| Cool running, low powered power amp Parasound A23+ is under $2k, Class A/AB and has a powerful but warmish sound. Used probably ~$1000-1200. You might end up keeping it. |
