| Personality Personally, I don't have strong attachments to my CDs and LPs although I sometimes like to read the inserts or look at the covers. That's not enough to make me go out and purchase new ones though, except in rare cases. I don't feel that pulling ... | |
| The old days Sorry. I didn’t mean to offend you, @rvpiano. | |
| The old days rvpiano, you seem to be determined to not enjoy listening to music. Why don’t you use the money you save on LPs and CDs by streaming and take a friend or two out to a concert? Or, for that matter, there is nothing stopping you from getting togethe... | |
| Why do you listen to records? You probably don’t want this advice @mattmiller, but you can do a lot better than the Oppo BDP105 for not a lot of money. Digital is improving constantly these days. | |
| Greg Allman- Laid Back Have you listened to "Southern Blood". It was Gregg’s last album and it sounds as if he is very aware of that. Great album. It has the horns and all like "Laid Back". It even closes with a Jackson Browne song with Jackson adding vocals. Full ... | |
| MBL rescued, for now Thanks for the update. Glad to hear that we haven't lost this unique member of the high-end. I hope the Chinese owners maintain the quality and innovation MBL is known for. | |
| 6DJ8 vs. 6922? c-j preamps are kind of hard on tubes. The tubes get noisy more quickly. You might want to research Russian 6N23P (their version of the 6922) or 7DJ8s. Both are supposed to be a little sturdier than the 6DJ8 family. | |
| I lately wonder why I’m an Audiophile. You don't have to obsess over sound quality to be an audiophile. If you care about good sound and work on a system to provide good sound, you're an audiophile, no matter what level your system is at. You're back on the right track now. Audiophil... | |
| 8 Reasons why you should buy an $50,000 DAC Second was when I visited a world-class recording studio and saw what gear they used......to be written soon. Unless the studio you visited specialized in audiophile quality recordings, don't be influenced by them. Why do you think that great ... | |
| Analogue Productions SACDs I asked Microsoft Copilot again and this is what it said: Hybrid SACDs contain two layers: CD layer: Read using a red laser at 780 nm (same as standard CD players). SACD layer: Read using an infrared laser at 650 nm (similar to DVD t... | |
| Analogue Productions SACDs I asked Microsoft Copilot: What layers do Analogue Productions Hybrid Multichannel SACDs have? It answered: Analogue Productions Hybrid Multichannel SACDs typically contain three distinct layers, each serving a different playback purpose: ... | |
| John Fogerty Legacy Album Here is John’s reason from a recent interview why he rerecorded his music. In the linked interview he gives his thoughts on all the CCR problems and controversies. I haven’t heard Legacy yet so I can’t comment on that. Interviewer: After waiti... | |
| Incredible Audiophile Imaging -- at a Concert! Some of you may be interested in the Editorial in the July/August issue of TAS, "A Stunning Breakthrough in Live Sound". It describes the sound system in The Sphere in Las Vegas. Apparently, it delivers on the title of this thread, "Incredible Au... | |
| 6SN7 tubes and variants question. @billpete There used to be a tube dealer who wrote on his website that neither he nor anyone else could tell you how a tube will sound in your system. Experimenting with what you have may be a better way to getting good sound than shopping for ex... | |
| Wi Fi Digital Source No, an iPad would not make your system sound better. The music signal shouldn’t pass through your phone or tablet. Your phone or tablet just tells your streamer which stream to play. @rick_n has a better idea. |
