  1. Another fantastic sounding recording from the folks at Sound Liaison.
  2. I have now listened to track 1 on the red book, DSD and the vinyl rip. I will take the red book version all damn day.
  3. Hopefully you are sitting on some more stuff like this!
  4. It blows the pants off the Apple Music DD+ Atmos. Wonderful.
  5. Yep, just change the name to WTF.
  6. From the very back corner of the internet, I agree that the new Yule album from 2L has stellar sonics. Morten’s stuff just keeps getting better. Thank you Morten.
  7. Amazing room. May be time for a road trip. BTW, what are toobs doing in there?
  8. The Atmos version is very nice. I have the stereo release. I would love to hear the real trueHD Atmos.
  9. I happen to think that Anthem AVRs and separates sound fantastic. My Anthem certainly sounds better than my older Marantz by a good margin.
  10. I agree. How else can you do it? Too many readers. What reader? Any, all? Does anyone ask this of a painter or a songwriter?
  11. Interesting subject. I can’t really say with any confidence how a piece of kit sounded that I have not heard in my system recently, other than whether I liked it and general attributes, also, what other changes to the system have occurred in the interim? New kit, speaker placement changes even different rooms and room treatment. It is obviously helpful to have other different samples to do direct comparisons to, but that can get pricey, plus a cluttered room. Sometimes the best you can do is rely on one’s faulty memory. At least with a given piece of kit, one can describe what one is hearing now. This topic reminds me of a past life when I was doing Blu Ray movie reviews. One commentator lambasted me on a review of the Raiders of the Lost Ark review claiming that the color of the Nazi flags in the Blu Ray didn’t match what he recalled seeing in The theater all those years ago, or the old DVD. The fact that the director and cinematographer signed off on the color grading did not matter. All we can do is the best we can and try to accurately describe what we hear and make value judgments based on that. That is all.
  12. True dat. Had a couple that we knew over and they asked about being an audiophile. I said just listen. They were both Jazz fans and asked if I had Midnight Blue as they had just listened to that. I said of course and played the 24/192 2012 remaster. Almost played the entire album until it was time to leave for dinner. Couldn’t believe it.
  13. Our handyman carpenter loves to sit down and listen to both the 2channel and HT rooms. Always blows his mind!
  14. I may have to get off the golf course and get up to MA for this.
