| Question about wpc on tube amps Thanks guys, you all confirmed what I was thinking. I just wasn't certain since I haven't any experience with tube gear. I will move forward with a tube preamp! I need a better one anyway. Besides, I never had any beef with my Bryston. It drives... | |
| Top two most important sound qualities Warmth, depth... blackness. | |
| What to do with my legacy CD collection? I started buying those Sony Mega storage units. Mostly the 200 and 300 disc ones. I use the optical output into a quality DAC via splitters. It is fun to have people over to my house when they discover these "juke box" players. They are amazed. ... | |
| What should my heirs do to dispose of my vinyl and CDs? I don't worry about what my family will do with my stuff. My wife and kid hate music (yes, it is true). I will, as time passes, watch for a younger man who has genuine interest in this type of stuff. Yes, they ARE out there. I will make sure he ge... | |
| Name 3 songs where audio quality and song quality completely align One you might not expect. Madonna - I'm breathless. I ignored the album for years. Thought it was the soundtrack for the movie Dick Tracy. Only, I think, one song from the movie. Did some reading and found she was simply inspired by music from... | |
| Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time The OP got me thinking. Seems over the years I have heard (and myself said) similar remarks about "current" music of this sort or that. I believe that what happens is that over time, the true artist shake out from all the fluff and go on to become... | |
| Is R.E.M. underrated by new music nerds? I was a light-weight fan for sure. My favorite song is the one always dumped on. "Shiny Happy People". Such a perfectly absurd song. With Kate Peirson's vocals, it just sorta knocked it out of the park. A great little piece of 90's exuberance! ... | |
| It was 61 years ago today... I was 14 months old that day. I guess I was there, in spirit anyway. Weird that now, at 59 years old, I am just now starting to peruse the Beatles catalog? Have seen the clips of Ed's Beatles presentations many times. Always amuses me. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I only have two to offer, one everybody knows. Getz/Gilberto.. seems to be several varients. I have been enjoying the remastered version on Qobuz. I am always gob-smacked that something recorded the year I was born (oh so long ago) just jumps ... | |
| Audio gear, sonic quality when you listen in less (or non-) focused ways I only run my main system when I am in FL mode; being that the speakers are Magnepan, they are worthless for any type of casual, walking around the house sort of listening. For the rest of my house, I am using the big Google Home Max speakers conn... | |
| Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice? Madonna, of course | |
| Can I connect multiple sources to an external DAC I have a simple solution to your problem and it will cost you $26. I was always running into the same problem as I have multiple Sony mega storage CD units I use as transport. Just a couple weeks ago I decided I am NOT buying anymore DAC units. I... | |
| What are your top 3 favorite female singers? Janet Jackson Whitney Houston Boy George | |
| Basic question about power/watts Hey everybody!! Thanks so much! Frantically looking up all the eqpt that has been recommended.. So much great advice. @russ69.... I loved the "buy once, cry once". Perfect! I think I will shed some tears but you just made a heap of sense to me🙂 | |
| Basic question about power/watts Hi everybody! First off, thank you all so much for your thoughtful answers. I read all of them several times (often times more lol) and learned a lot. I realized after reading, I should have supplied more info. First, the speakers... They are t... |
