| Best concert you've attended Have been reading through this thread, lots of great concerts for sure! Makes me think of concerts I wish I would have attended, like I had the opportunity to attend a Pink Floyd concert in Phoenix when they were touring the Animals album, also a... | |
| On a different note, share the artists you own that DON'T sound good I'm a big Jethro Tull fan, and some of their albums are terrible as far as sound quality goes. Then on the reverse side, Ian Anderson's "Divinities" is one of the best recordings available. Some old "Stones" albums were also not good. If I thin... | |
| Favorite Supertramp album? Probably "Even in the Quietest Moments", but I more so listen to the collection on the "Retrospectacle" album. That title is also one of my favorite Supertram tunes, along with "Downstream". | |
| Favorite Beatles Song Hard to nail down just one. But when "For the Benefit of Mr. Kite" comes up on the Sgt. Peppers album, I crank it up. Love the way the different instruments weave in and out, and of course the classic Beatles vocals. Give it a spin! | |
| New Stones Album - Foreign Tongues @kijanki I didn't have the issues with my CD of Hackney Diamonds, ripped fine and the sound quality seems good. Perhaps my old ears need at tune up? Not one of my favorite albums but as others said, growing on me. | |
| To those with Digital Libraries - Some Questions... I have a vast collection of CD's and am still buying them, some new, some used, some old artists, some new. I gave up on vinyl and my son now has my collection of about 400 albums or so. I do use streaming but more so listen to my CD collection ... | |
| What blues are you listening to today? Hard to deny B.B. King as a great blues artist, listen to him often when in a blues mood. Also enjoy 'light' blues by Bonnie Raitt. Got to see her last year at a small venue, what a great show, and she had some great backup blues artists in her ... | |
| Favorite Led Zeppelin Album Led Zeppelin II, followed by Physical Graffiti. However, I can spin about any album and be happy. Ramble On! | |
| Three things I’ve learned about listening. My favorite is "If it sounds really good, leave it alone"! | |
| So…Much…Music! Streaming is a wonderful option, opening up a plethora of music and artists. I have used Spotify and Tidal, and was impressed with the suggested new music to listen to based on my favorites. This is a great way to discover new music and artists ... | |
| What are My Options for Ripping My CD Collection ? I still buy CD's and have a vast collection. DBPoweramp sounds like a good solution for ripping software. I simply used Apple music software (formerly iTunes) to rip to Apple Lossless. It's compatible with most streamers and works for me, and e... | |
| listening volume? Generally around 60 db when I want a quieter state. For depth and detail around 75-80 db. | |
| All-In-One Options I went the all in one route with a Naim Uniti Star. It has streaming capability plus a built in CD (no SACD however). It's 70w/channel but is plenty to power my Goldenear Reference tower speakers. You could a a SACD transport, the internal DAC ... | |
| How old were you when audio gear first caught your interest? I grew up with two brothers who had audio gear. I asked for a cassette player when I was 10, and my brother would make me tapes. I had an external speaker I plugged into it and to me it sounded great! Then I inherited a Symphonic receiver and a... | |
| Listening habits. Exclusively LP? Hardly. I started out with vinyl in the late 60's, ended up with quite a collection. Moved to CD's and am still purchasing them, new and used. I prefer to "own" my music. All CD's and some digitized vinyl are on a NAS for easy... |
