| Why Does All Jazz Sound The Same? Yeah, I know. I was mocking my coworker who always says that jazz all sounds the same. I should have explained that but I wasn't very much awake yet when I had that thought. I told him he should try listening to the Grateful Dead (who I love BT... | |
| Why Does All Jazz Sound The Same? Sorry guys. Was making a joke! I love jazz more than any other music. I used to think it all sounded the same but once it clicked it became my favorite form of music. I feel like a troll for this. Should have added sarcasm quotes or something... | |
| My conclusion: mid level $$ analog vs digital Thanks for sharing your findings on this. It's a lot of fun to reach a point with analog gear where it sounds better than digital. One thing I would like to clarify is the use of mid-level in describing your set-up. These days I think mid-level... | |
| Is Innuos Zenith or Statement Overkill with a High-End Streaming DAC? I have the Zenith Mk3 and added the Phoenix re-clocker to it with excellent improvements that were/are very noticeable. Definitely worth consideration, and you might want to take this step before a DAC upgrade. I also upgraded my DAC from a Myte... | |
| Stereophile's 2021 products of the year Stereophile is awesome. Not perfect, but a very good mag. As for their "best of" issues, of which there are more than one per year, I am indifferent. The reason they do so many of them is because it sells magazines. There are many budding audi... | |
| Holo Audio May DAC Only good things are worth waiting for! | |
| Holo Audio May DAC $5k is still too much for me, if someone can make an equally good dac and shave off another 80% of the price then we're talking. I can dream, can't IYes, you can dream. That's what this hobby is all bout, isn't it? There are several DACs at th... | |
| Building a New Listening Room on a Budget Thanks to all for your responses. Very helpful!Ruminating on a few things:- Stupid question: Can 15A components be plugged into 20A outlets without a power manager? I have a Niagara 7000 and know that it is fine with 20A or 15A, just not sure a... | |
| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! Sorry, I meant no disrespect. I just don't consider Al Stewart as anything worth cherishing. I try not to poop on anyone's party so forgive me if you will. There's no accounting for musical taste. This record sounds very good, but in the end le... | |
| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! Year Of The (Frickin') Cat? Uhh, sorry. Something is just not right here. | |
| Audioquest Niagara 700 vs. PS Audio PowerPlant 20 Thanks for posting the review/comparison. It's a good write-up, but it seems obvious that he is being very careful to not say anything negative about either unit. Not that I would expect much negative to be said about these brands, but I would h... | |
| Does Jeff Tweedy sound like Ray Davies? I don’t hear it, but I have thought that Tweedy sounds like Paul Westerberg at times. | |
| Neil Young - Way Down in the Rust Bucket 9 hours? I only see about 2.5 hours. Still, it's not overly expensive compared to other releases. I bought the vinyl/CD/DVD set. Going to rock out tonight. | |
| Neil Young - Way Down in the Rust Bucket Can't stand his politics but love his guitar licks. An extremely underrated axe man.I agree about the politics. I don't mind that he has strong political views, many of which I agree, but I prefer my music and politics separated. This is not to ... | |
| Oh my Wilco! Can't go wrong with Wilco. The sound quality is great on their recordings, and vinyl quality is very good as well. |
