| Roger Waters Live Last Night in Glendale,AZ I think you’re playing dumb @hilde45. People don’t object to musicians talking about the music or telling funny stories or jokes. These "Storyteller" type concerts are popular. What people object to is being subjected to stupid and hypocritical ... | |
| Roger Waters Live Last Night in Glendale,AZ It always puzzles me why people like Roger always live in the countries they despise and are happy to take the money of the people of those countries. You’d think they wouldn’t want to dirty their hands with that filthy lucre. People like Roger ne... | |
| Roger Waters Live Last Night in Glendale,AZ Roger has a lot of issues. He is very wealthy and could probably do a lot of good for a lot of people, but he’d rather rant about what other people should do from the stage while he makes even more money. It doesn’t make sense to me, but that’s li... | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding Before streaming became an option you had to buy an album to hear it. I have bought many albums without hearing them first. Some lived up to my expectations others didn’t. Sometimes I thought maybe I just need to live with an album and eventually ... | |
| To ROON or not to ROON ? What I like about roon is the new music it leads me to (with a subscription to Qobuz or Tidal). When you play an album it will offer suggestions of other albums you may like. It can also learn your tastes by you liking or disliking songs on roon... | |
| Joni Mitchell remasters on the way 12DR sounds excellent and the listening I did this afternoon also sounded excellent. I'm looking forward to giving them some quality listening time. | |
| Joni Mitchell remasters on the way I’m listening to Court and Spark 2022 remaster right now from Amazon Music through a soundbar and it sounds great. The albums were released last Friday, the 23d. I think they’ll sound good on a better system. They don’t appear to be compressed. I ... | |
| Esoteric D1vu plus N-05 or N-01 @arcmania Are you talking about the N-01XD or the older non-XD models? | |
| MoFi controversy Yes some people are really upset that MoFi vinyl has a digital step in the process that no one was informed of. There is a thread on this over a thousand pages long on the Steve Hoffman Music Forums. I suggest that anyone who wants delve deep in... | |
| MoFi controversy @mahler123, You misunderstood my post. johnss made a post about MoFi converting its DSD files to PCM for mastering, adding more conversions to their mastering process. I just stated that at this point MoFi says they do not convert their DSD files ... | |
| MoFi controversy Let’s slow down a little. MoFi says they convert the DSD file back to analog for mastering. They say they do not convert it to PCM for mastering. I don’t have any direct knowledge of what they do, so I can’t say for sure what they do, but that is ... | |
| The State of Streaming Audio Looks interesting. Thanks for the heads-up. | |
| Creed Taylor RIP Another one gone. RIP Creed. He put out a lot of good music on his CTI label but ruined it for me by adding the heavy helping of strings, trying to find something with wider appeal than straight jazz, I guess. | |
| Did you notice.... A great quality streamer can outperform a cheap cd player. There are some noise problems with streaming that need to be sorted out, which you can do on your own now. I think that the noise filtering will eventually be addressed by the makers of ... | |
| Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West? Most of the commotion in streaming is with getting a clean signal from your wifi router to your streamer and then to your DAC. If you want to experiment with switches, optical cables, etc., go ahead, it can be done cheaply. But if you don’t want t... |
