    Using 2 WiFi routers in media bridge mode to lower noise level

    This is an excellent suggestion. I did purchase a 105 and then another and together they make a large difference. I was very happily surprised.

    The Drifters-Which Era Do You Prefer?

    At one time, in the "coastal Carolina's" area...there were 3 different groups using the 'Drifters' name. Much legal action to sort it out. Obviously they were very popular to those of us who dance the Shag to beach music "Grand Strand Style". My brother-in-law was the keyboard player for the...

    They Sound Alike...!

    Ral Donner...1961..."You Don't Know What You've Got"......sounds like Elvis.....and many thought it was Elvis the first time they heard it.

    Tearjerkers- Some Sad Songs

    "On a Bus To St. Cloud"...by Georgia's own Trisha Yearwood from the album "Thinkin' About You". I have seen her perform this twice and she grabs the audience and doesn't let them go. This was at a 'chatty' outdoor venue at Chastain Park.....but when Trisha sings her sad songs....folks actually...

    Tearjerkers- Some Sad Songs

    "Softly as I Leave You". I know.....I am showing my age. Frank defined my dad's generation.....every bit as much as the Beatles defined this young teenagers generation. My dad was a contemporary of Franks and lived two townships over (Wood Ridge) from Hoboken in Bergen County, NJ...above the...

    The Great Johnny Moore

    I don't know how old any of you folks are....but I grew up with this music.....The Drifters have a very interesting history.....as at one time in the south there were three groups claiming to be the Drifters....there was Bill Pinckney and the Drifters, there was The Original Drifters and simply...

    Sixty Minute Man-The Dominoes

    This music "60 Minute Man" and 1000 others are still played in the "shag" clubs in the South to this very day. It is considered "Beach Music" in the south....not to be confused with the great beach sound of the '60's from california.

    Who's buying the UpTone Audio ISO REGEN?

    I will simply say this before I exit. I think there are biases in audio as in everything else. I think our whole country suffers from expectation or what some call normalcy bias."It's always been this way when I awake each day and I expect it to be this way tomorrow/forever. That being said, I...

    AudioThesis - new USA distributor for MastersounD

    Who's buying the UpTone Audio ISO REGEN?

    I can here a difference. Maybe you or Amir can not. So be it. When testing methods are of a standard and the test equipment is calibrated, you get a result. That result says nothing about what I know I hear.

    AudioThesis - new USA distributor for MastersounD

    Congratulaions Hi Dskip: Mastersound is a great line. I flirted with the line when I was a dealer. I liked it very much. However, as tough as this business of two channel audio is, it is tougher here in Atlanta. 4 of us went out the same year. I had seven tears....the other 3 all had 20+...

    Who's buying the UpTone Audio ISO REGEN?

    You missed the point. They won't be my customers and therefore I will not have to deal with them. This is America. We still get to choose not to do business with people who wish us harm of any kind. So, one takes care of your customers. And you ignore those that wish to stir up trouble. You just...

    Remote control suggestions for Lampizator

    I have an original (probably a prototype) L7 with volume control. This is the model with the control button on the bottom in the front. The remote I was given stopped working. I need some suggestions from folks who have a similar model. It is the RC-5 program that is used to transact business. I...

    Who's buying the UpTone Audio ISO REGEN?

    Yep, I can. I choose never to do business with anyone who wishes me, my employees or my product and services harm. Simple as that.

    So I like Sophie Millman and Melody Gardot - Recommend me some more!

    I realize that I am late to the party. However, the talk about Shelby Lynn had me thinking that I should share a bit of information. Shelby has a very talented sister name Allison Moorer. More country and torch singer than jazz......but a great voice. They actually sing 3 songs together on...

    EVS modified Gustard X20/Gustard X20 thread

    The DIYin HK card appears to be for PC's only. Have been running my music on a MacPro for 6 years so I will have to seek another avenue. I may be limited by Audirvana at present.

    EVS modified Gustard X20/Gustard X20 thread

    The first 4 level one mods of the Gustard x20u are exceptional. I am a skeptic. However, I know what I hear. The mods make a major positive impact on tone, sound stage and clarity. Still a work in process after only 96 hours of break in. But I am experiencing unexpected changes after the...

    Tube Supplier and cross reference thread

    Thanks I have been reading off and on for some time. This forum and Computer Audiophile may be the two best forums going at this time. I was in the business as a shop owner for 6 years. I took a sabbatical from all things audio for a couple of years after I closed my shop. Atlanta is a...
