| What are you streaming tonight? Philly Joe Jones - Showcase on QobuzA nice 1959 hard bop set with a tasty, drum heavy mix. I really like albums cut with drummers as leaders, you tend to get a percussion-centric production. I was inspired by melvinjames listening to Jimmy Cobb t... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Joni Mitchell - Court and SparkQobuz | |
| preamp upgrade suggestion around $2000 @nwres thanks for the tip, I might give those a try. I’ve tried to avoid going down the 6SN7 tube rolling rabbit hole, but if I’m being honest it’s probably only a matter of time. And the MZ2 can use 6SN7 too..... | |
| preamp upgrade suggestion around $2000 I should clarify that I don’t think the Sachs is a particularly noisy unit; just that it is noisier than the MZ2, which is a supernaturally quiet preamp. Kind of the same dynamic to my comment about the bass - the Sachs bass is good, it’s just tha... | |
| preamp upgrade suggestion around $2000 I have both the Don Sachs and the MZ2; both of them are outstanding bargains, but they are really different. The MZ2 is on the cool side of neutral, amazingly quiet, startlingly lifelike, super resolving and incredible bass. It is quite unique sou... | |
| Aric Audio's Motherlode II line-stage keep me up all last night Sounds like an amazing unit, congratulations to Aric. I would be curious how this compares to the Don Sachs linestage. | |
| Does anyone make a list of songs that they want to hear when they get home @16f4's list is how I keep track of new stuff listen to, when he posts it to the streaming thread! | |
| What are you streaming tonight? I’m a big fan of Gustavsen’s album “The Other Side” | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Scott Tixier - Cosmic Adventure on QobuzThis is high energy, melodic jazz led by a French violinist. Creative and energetic, sometimes polyrhythmic percussion. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Yes, @morningstaraudio,thanks for the tip on that Mesolella record - sounds beautiful.Another Italian guitarist whose recordings sound great is Antonio Forcione, especially the album he cut with Charlie Haden - Heartplay, for the Naim label. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Penguin Cafe Orchestra - Penguin Cafe Orchestra on Qobuz via 16f4's recommendation. Very interesting, I see they are often categorized as folk/neo-classical, and although I hear the references to minimalist classical (Reich, Glass, etc) I also se... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? I love this thread. I often end up listening to selections you all post, and I enjoy making new discoveries.I would like to ask, if you're so inclined, if when you post something that isn't extremely well known to include maybe a one sentence des... | |
| Perfect Pop Songs Another vote for "God Only Knows"; I'd also add "Day After Day" by Badfinger. | |
| Vfet / SIT Amplifiers So yesterday I ended up pulling the trigger on a Don Sachs model 2 - going to try that with the SIT-3 and see how it does! | |
| Vfet / SIT Amplifiers @sonetduo haha, it's definitely a synergy thing... I am a big believer in the genius of Mr. Pass! |
