One does wonder given the knowledge and depth of discussion that occurs and does not appear elsewhere on the internet. Seem like sales of Taiko, Center Stage, Shunyata and others have been impacted. WBF comments show up in Google searches. I assume some dealers use sales to members as some...
I assume others know of this service. Relatively new to streaming. $10 per month. Phenomenal, user friendly UI. Numerous filter options. Plenty good enough streaming quality for me. Lossless FLAC available. No need for Tidal, Qobuz, etc. for this dude. My perfect music internet site.
Considering joining. ? in no particular order.
1. Meaningful differences between two subscription options.
2. Automatic development of play lists or recommendations of similar material based on selected material.
3. Library / acess to internet stations.
4. Main software pluses.
5. Main...
On Netflix. Unique British humor. Extremely well done. Each episode independant. Check out Inauguration / Episode 1 / Season 1. Very poignant comment on the power of social media on politics.
Something I found. Audio quality and music seems excellent to me. Enter Otto or Jazz Radio in the search bar to see other choices in the family. Can avoid the radio.net commercials by paying $7 per year.
Opinions appreciated.

Requirements include a minimum of 100 watts that doubles down at lower impedance. SS only. My Pulsars need some power. Also a volume control display including remote with a max. 0.7 db per step. Dac optional but not required. A Streamer would be nice but not critical. Recommends on used units...
Have had low res XM Radio for years and it sounds OK using my Luxman Audio CDP dac. Considering buying a good quality internet radio component (using Lux dac) for my main system to access free stations. Listen to classical and jazz. Would connect via my TDS WIFI or other hardwire options...
I hope folks had a chance to see this two hour show. Honories included Berry Gordy / Motown, Lorne Michaels / Saturday Night Live , Bette Midler and Joni Mitchell. Great presenters and outstanding music. If you missed it, I would recommend that you stream it. And something positive and...
Curious as to what will cause you all to stop buying gear and decide that what you have is "good enough". With the exception of new music, I know I'm done unless something breaks. Given my age, I know my hearing is compromised and, after being a "dedicated" audio hobbyist for decades (with...
My first experience as a "seller". Payment delays, software issues, etc. And the 3% fee that the seller pays is for what? I will never use Paypal as a seller again.
Had the 116's for several years / 2013 to 2017. Retired and moved and wanted to downsize. Bought the Joseph Audio Pulsars and was very happy with the sound given its size. Have owned for some 3.5 years. Had no intention of buying a new speaker cause I'm a fairly old dude. Then a pair of...
Have been a long time fan / user of these 2" solid brass footers. Currently under my amp, pre and CDP. I recently tried them under my REL T7i sub. They worked their magic. More space, better dimensionality / imaging and a sense of ease to the music not to mention improved bass definition...
Hi all,
Curious as to what others have done WRT their investment portfolios. I was 70 / 30 approx. 6 months ago and went to 50 / 50 at that time. I went 80 /20 on March 9 and total cash (except for a small amount in a Vanguard bond fund) yesterday March 17. I guess I should consider myself...
Given the massive social and economic impact this virus has had to date (and the end is nowhere in sight), I wonder what this might do to the hi end industry. I know it has certainly changed my plans for the remainder of the year. I cancelled flying back east this May to visit family and it...
I discovered that the OPPO 205 UDP 4K disc player, which is no longer being made and had a MSRP of $1,299 when the company stopped production approx. 2 years ago, is now bringing $3,500 for a used unit on Ebay. Amazon is selling a new unit for $4,800. Any explanations / thoughts?
I was thinking about this when I recently posted regarding an "SE" version of a well regarded, high priced product that was only released within the past two to three years. My question was "is there new hardware or technology that did not exist when that product was initially released?"
I...
I know this should be in the sub section but I feel compelled to post here because it will hopefully get more attention.
Fist off, as some of you who have read my posts, I tend to be somewhat pragmatic in my approach to audio. Been a serious hobbyist for some 40 years plus and tend not to gush...
Looks like this little gem is being discontinued. List was $1,500. Now on sale at Amazon, Crutchfield, and Music Direct at $900. All these outlets offer money back guarantee.
Thought I'd pass on three CD selections that I've been really enjoying.
One somewhat recent: Lost in a Dream / Paul Motian, Chris Potter, Jason Moran. A bit contemporary but very approachable.
Two old but exquisite IMHO: Memories / Bley, Haden, Motian. Classic musicians and Jazz trio...
I think most folks would agree that volume has a big impact on serious dedicated music listening satisfaction and I'm curious as to how many actually consider this (from a repeatability perspective) when they play various pieces of music.
One reason I have owned three different CJ preamps is...
I recently replaced the factory supplied amp to sub cable with Signal Cable's version which was less than half the price of REL's upgraded cable.
Suffice to say, a big, positive improvement. What I hear is a transparency increase with my Pulsar's and a jump in low bass definition and imaging...
I've had a difficult time trying to find a unit that sounds as good as my Cary 306 SACD player which still sounds great (to my ears) after 10.5 years. I previously auditioned the Esoteric K01 and the Dcs Puccini with clock and found them wanting in one way or the other.
The Luxman hits all my...
