| PREAMP technology shift? - Class A/ balanced/ dual-mono/ zero feedback vs. op-amp preamps @paulburnett "...the Schiit Freya is only balanced out from the tube stage...."Paul - I'm not sure that accurately represents Freya functionality. There might be some confusion based on a statement in the Freya manual. See the Freya connections ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Thank you Frogman. I’m responding to your last comments first. "...to focus only on the deflection points would be a big mistake. There were far more individualistic players back then who are really worth exploring...."That is exactly what is so h... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hello O. I could say, "I'm not surprised" by your recent comment about the Chris Potter "Dreamer is the Dream" album...but WON'T :-) There was some discussion about him back on page 206 Aug 26, 2017. I still don't "get" him in the sense of...Wh... | |
| Full MQA music list. @lalitk Thanks for reminding me about that thread. I read it and just checked my internet download speed (speedtestdotcom). It came in at 60+ Mbps which seems okay though paying Xfinity for Burst which is supposed to be 150Mbps max tested direc... | |
| Full MQA music list. @mr_m & @jond - Gents - thank you. Reassuring. I didn't want to have to go out and get a new router or bang on the door of my ISP. Dealing with them can be a bit frustrating until you get through to the right person. As jond noted, no pro... | |

| Schiit Gungnir infection - I had a Musical Fidelity V-DAC w/V-Link at first. Upgraded the original V-Link to the V-Link 192. Subsequently picked up a B-stock Gungnir from Audio Advisor. It's hard to recall with much detail how different or what improvements t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman - Put your cursor over the album image to watch the You Tube progress line using the link below for the track, "Genesis". Around the 3 min 30 sec mark (after the bass solo starting at 2:10/2:12), a sax solo starts. My ear might not be tha... | |
| Jazz for aficionados F - Who is soloing at around 3:30 on Genesis? and then (again?) at 0:30 in Chaos. As I listen to this again, there are sections that remind me of Varese. The connection to modern classical (well, modern as in 20th century) is definitely there. ... | |
