@audio-b-dog thanks!
good sound, but somewhat primitive playing. Dylon translated into bebop. Lol
Good for one listen. For tenor sax it’s hard for me to like this after Coltrane, Dexter Gordon, Rollins and Getz.
Does anyone have a digital system that is as involving as their analogue front end?
I have a good analogue front end. Not stratuspherically good but good enough for this comparison. VPI Prime Signature 21 turntable, Pass Labs XP-25 pono preamp, Pass Labs XP-30 preamp and Hovland Radia amp. It has a lovely, very involving sound. On the right recording, I just drop everythng and am drawn in to listen.
My streamer, on the other hand, is decent but not spectacular. It is better than my CD player, but it is not jaw-dropping like my analogue front-end. My question is this: does anyone have a high-end, tier-one streamer (dCS Bartok Apex, Lumin X2, or something like them) that can rival a good analogue system?

I hear ya.
I ignored the Dylan part, not a huge fan- to put it mildly. But I remember a while back "Man in the Long Black Coat" came on via radio streaming program, wasn’t familiar, and my ears perked up how good it sounded- very well produced, and then Bob started singing.... shame. |
@audio-b-dog Thanks, I will check it out. Living in the town where Dylan was born, I am very familiar with his music.

@mclinnguy Same here - not a fan at all. I acknowledge the talent but that’s about it.
That’s one of the very few Dylan tracks I can listen to. And on the same “Oh Mercy” album Everything Is Broken and Most Of The Time. |
