| Like finding things? @larsman I mentioned that to Anne Wilson at the after-show party, and she said they hated that cover, and that the record company stuck them with it. Interesting. I’ve always thought Heart had an evident LZ influence. One similarity: both ba... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Another one gone. This time, it's Sheila Jordan. https://www.npr.org/2025/08/11/847306270/sheila-jordan-obituary | |
| Jay’s Audio Lab is shutting down I wonder if he’ll perhaps braiden his focus away from the ultra high end. I never really related to his channel -- his personality was a bit over the top-- but when he dedicated an episode to discussing how getting too obsessive with audio could p... | |
| Bobby Whitlock has passed Yes. He certainly contributed mightily to Layla. Not only in terms of his passionate singing and playing but also his songwriting craft. I’ve watched and enjoyed quite a few of the videos he posted on youtube. | |
| Has anyone compared the Merason Reuss and DAC 1 ? @zlone OK. Thanks! | |
| Has anyone compared the Merason Reuss and DAC 1 ? @zlone Thanks for your comments. I'm not familiar with your Audionet gear. Is it SS or tube? One reviewer said the Reuss was tonally on the lean side, which concerns me. While not seeking a euphonic presentation, if lower mids are dialed back ... | |
| Has anyone compared the Merason Reuss and DAC 1 ? @nwres Thanks for your response. FWIW, I'm not a tube guy. | |
| Seeking to upgrade from Weiss Dac 204 @kjl1065 You also might want to consider dealer demos and used gear from retailers that offer a money-back guarantee if you return within a certain length of time (often 30 days), for any reason, other than if you damaged it, of course. There i... | |

| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries @audio-b-dog Thanks. I will give it a listen. Any particular recording? | |
| Amazon Selling Used CDs Advertised As New @93rubyz But when I buy used CDs, I expect them to be of the condition stated. That has been the case for most purchases with only a few exceptions. Same here, which Is why I always double-check with sellers now. I got really tired of having... | |
| Adios Flaco @bigtwin Same here. That was a terrific group! | |
| Who is your favorite instrumentalist or instrumental group? @bdp24 Are you familiar with Will Ray’s solo albums? I recently picked up "Invisible Birds" and am crazy about it. I expected great guitar playing, which he delivers, but I had no idea he was also such a good vocalist. This is mostly in a Coun... | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries @audio-b-dog You’re welcome. I’d certainly agree that some songwriters are more poetic. I’d also agree that there would’ve been some sort of change in approach to songwriting in the 60’s/70’s without Dylan, but who can say what that would have ... | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries If anyone says I failed to list all of Dylan’s influences, they are of course, correct. Jazz, Vaudeville, Bluegrass, Singing Cowboys, Urban Blues, Country artists in addition to Hank, Gospel are some others, not to mention poets and novelists. . .... |
