| Blues for Aficionados Wow! Things you can find on a mellow Saturday night. Thank you for everyone contributing. I’m going to be listening to A LOT of blues. I have a contribution- Jimmy Rogers-Chicago Bound (1970, Chess), compilation of 1950s Chess recordings. Rogers’... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim - "Anyone else love Tardo Hammer? Listening to Look, Stop & Listen and it’s just great." Yes, fabulous record. A very well recorded/produced record of the music of Tadd Dameron. Charlesdad2, a regular A'Gon poster, recommended t... | |
| Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums? @calvinj -Mad is as mad does. The irony is music brings the performers and listeners joy. David | |
| Lumin Hifi Rose or Aurender I have an Aurender N200. It's sublime. I chose it because of its beefy power supply, shielded isolation and (for me) ease of use. Since I already had a DAC I really like, I did not consider a unit with DAC/streamer combination. | |
| Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums? @calvinj -"My daughter punched a hole in the cone of my Gato FM6 speaker when she was 2. lol 😂 I lost my mind that day." Ouch! I hope you were able to repair it. I suspect others on the A'gon chat board can share stories of pets, family, friend... | |
| Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums? @tomic601 "Lord…i had banished from memory the Cat and the destroyed REF5 se …… instant PTSD…." LOL. Me too! I liken it to a teenager wrapping his dad's sports car around a mail box. | |
| Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums? Good thread. Thanks to the OP for delving into the limits of civility. A number of years back my cat destroyed my ARC Ref 5SE. I posted a request for help/advice and while I got sound advice, certain posters decided the thread was an audio chat bo... | |
| HoloAudio Spring 3 Kitsune DAC NOS Congratulations! You own a fine DAC. What sounds best to you? A fun thing, I always enjoyed, getting new audio equipment is the discoveries you make while "playing around." David | |
| Grateful Dead Dave's Pick's Volume 48 ......time to put a fork in this ! Who has favorites? Mine in no particular order-Dick's Picks #8 5/2/70, #14 11/20 and 12/2/73 Dave's Picks-#2 7/31/74, #34-6/23/74 Also, while not part of the series- Cornell, 5/8/77 Ladies and Gentlemen Fillmore East from April, 1971 From th... | |
| Grateful Dead Dave's Pick's Volume 48 ......time to put a fork in this ! I was a collector of Dick's Picks, Road Trips and Dave's Picks. I lost enthusiasm for the same reasons the OP and StuartK stated. I recently brought a boxful of CDs to a reseller, and he gave me full price on my DP, RT and DavP sets. Clearly, the... | |
| Rega P6/ or Clearaudio Concept, both with same cartridge? @spiritof76 I got the CA Concept with the upgraded arm. From the get go, the Concept was a more resolving turntable in my audio system. If you want upfront toe-tapping energy, get the P6. FWIW, It WAS great when set-up. My cats thought the same... | |
| Schiit Eitr/Intona Isolator and Aurender N200 @oddiofyl - After looking through Aurender threads on other audio websites, I've come to the same conclusion. Aurender has done a terrific job shielding their USB output. Of course, if I had $16,000+ sitting around, I could upgrade and get an Aur... | |
| BEST little know Jazz Album that you ever heard? @charles1dad - Thanks for the heads-up! Just loaded on my Aurender. | |
| Upgrading cd player "Really looking forward and excited to getting it on Tues." Christmas comes early to tatooedtrackman's house :-) | |
| Upgrading cd player @tattooedtrackman -I have the REF CD6SE. The CD9 was out of my price point. I heard the CD9, liked it A LOT. What the CD6 does, the CD9 does more of, if that makes sense. |
