| Kind of Blue I can't pick a #1 because for me the jazz i like at any particular moment depends on my mood and jazz covers every mood you can have But i will mention one artist i haven't seen listed--apologies if someone did and i missed it, but i can listen t... | |
| Help with XLR ICs. @tattooedtrackman Jeff Smith of Silversmith Audio (and Fidelium Speaker Cable fame) recently came out with some XLR ICs--i bought a pair of them 12' in length for around $1700--they are top notch--i still don't see them on his site but contact h... | |
| The Emperor Has No Clothes!! Not that the highs were "hot" to begin with but to me the dampened highs sound better YMMV | |
| The Emperor Has No Clothes!! I think that's what i found--the drape doesn't affect low F but it does help cool off the highs just a bit | |
| The Emperor Has No Clothes!! Oh--also meant to say that everything sounds better with single malt... | |
| The Emperor Has No Clothes!! @mdalton You definitely [accidentally😀 ] struck a nerve even without naming names. I'm in your camp on digital as far as server/streamers/switches not imparting a sound of their own although my Pandora Dac is quite distinguishable from my Mytek D... | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers @mark200mph --thanks but i was just looking for information about what makes them different from Moab other than the Be tweeters -- must be some other special sauce to get the price where it is...One would think that if they requested Stereophile ... | |
| Found a Milty Zerostat alternative @ghdprentice @lewm I live in Tucson and you're right about static--it was mijostyn who recommended the anti static grounded brush and i use that as well and it works--a little fiddly to set up so that it tracks properly--meanwhile my 80's era Ze... | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers @lkh007--Thanks--so -just a special order custom option? i went on website and attempted to build and price a Moab set with the all Be tweeters and every other upgrade offered (esp grilles to cover the busy look) but couldn't get above $20K ...so... | |
| Which external SSD for music streaming? a member here with significant streaming expertise (can't remember who) recommended the Samsung T7 a couple years ago--i bought two on that recommendation although my streamer is also a server with its own internal storage so i just use them for b... | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers @tektondesign -Eric, can you point me to where i can find these speakers on your website? Anyone--Is there a link to the Stereophile review? I went to Stereophile's website and could not find it nor did a Google search produce it--at least the p... | |
| Best Covers @ezwind +1 to Playing for Change series--The Weight being the best of it Not sure if Gregg Allman's "Midnight Rider" from Laid Back counts as a cover but maybe since we're stretching the rules a little? Always like Linda Rondstadt's cover of Wil... | |
| Clock vs Streamer advice Do you exclusively stream through Roon? If so and you don't have a big budget then why not Roon Nucleus as your streamer--then USB to your DAC same as when you used Macbook. Nucleus is purpose built for Roon, has no fan and even though one user... | |
| Newer Blues Artists or Recordings Bonamassa fan here--for the gamut -- Live From Royal Albert Hall and the "Blues at Sea" series as someone mentioned Another vote for Tedeschi Trucks Since you mentioned newer, the new girl on the block--Ally Venable | |
| 2024 Audio System Wish List Improving my streaming side--and maybe replacing the audio rack but thankfully (mercifully?) happy with pre, amp, speakers, turntable, cables (having just splurged on some Fidelium speaker cables) and room--and my only issue with streaming is occa... |
