| Best concert you've attended @dynacohum I was at both of those Talking Heads shows in Boston. Had a ticket for the first night and "tipped" the doorman to let me in the second night. | |
| Favorite Supertramp album? CotC. Heard them play it concert several times. They used to have movies projected behind that sync'ed to the songs. One was a black and white film of a train leaving the station and arriving at the destination station just as the song ended, ... | |
| How Many Listeners Here Listen Mostly With Eyes Closed? At home in front of the system, lights off, eyes closed for seriuos listening (which is greater than 75% of the time). In concerts, eyes closed about 80-90% of the time. I just hear better and focus better on the sound, the muscic with my eyes c... | |
| Michael Hedges. Fantastic CD......Aerial B..... Heard him play most (all?) of it at the Bottom Line in NYC decades ago, from about 15 feet away. He was spectacular :) | |
| Aimee Mann "Elvis Costello is known for being stingy with his praise and liberal with his criticism. So when he chooses to champion a fellow singer-songwriter, it attracts attention. This year he sang the praises of Aimee Mann in the English music press, sa... | |

| Looking for Solid Core Speaker cables @total111 I used to use these with my Martin-Logan CLSs and they were great. I told HP about them and so The Absolute Sound did a review of them, which was quite favorable. They are solid copper (or silver) ribbons. Weren't very expensive, fo... | |
| Anyone have a Roon Nucleus One? Your experience positive or negative? @2psyop Sounds like you have two options 1. You can remove the Rose and connect the Nucleus directly to your DAC. This might sound better, it could also sound worse, if it is "cleaning" up the bitstream somehow. You could sell teh Rose and re-i... | |
| Best Match/Best Synergy? @erastof I think speaker cables have interactions with both the speaker and the amplifier, so it is a mistake to think about the best fit without considering both. The cable can present, along with the speaker a combined resistive or inductive ... | |
| Anyone have a Roon Nucleus One? Your experience positive or negative? @2psyop To your original question: I have had both a Nucleus Rev A and now a Nucleus One. I purchased the Rev A in 2018 and was amazed at the sonic improvement over running Roon on a MBP I was using at the time (see other AG posts of mine for m... | |
| Attempt to re-EQ "Katy Lied" @drmuso You might also want to take a listen to the 2025 remaster of Katy Lied, done by Donald Fagen on 24/192, and let us know. https://www.goldminemag.com/artist-news/remastered-steely-dan-classic-katy-lied-to-be-released-on-high-quality-vinyl ... | |
| Which tubes to buy @motorheadflash I think you are making the right decision. Why have the doubt that tat your tubes are sub-optimal when you are using one of the word's best amps? | |
| Audio Research LS28/SE, Ref 5/SE … what do you like better? Used REF6s are under $10k. Then upgrade to 6SE in a few years, when it seems worth it ... | |
| Has anyone tried these SnugPlugs? Might be great for the loose plugs I seem to encounter on planes .... |
