    I connected the Bluesound Node 2i to the stereo system. The internal DAC is pretty good based on listening to Tidal MQA and Amazon UltraHD tracks (will look into an external dac in the future). Down the road as my wife and I contemplate an RV retirement life, I could be satisfied with this setup plus a decent set of bookshelf speakers. I just pray that my son doesn’t Goodwill my collection of records and cds (a fair # of audiophile cds and records: MoFi, Analogue Production, Tone Poet, DCC)). My strategy will be similar to VABuckeye- gift some really nice stereo equipment to him vs. selling it on Audigon or through the Austin Audiophile FB group. One question: Is there a way to play Amazon tracks via voice commands through an Amazon Echo to the Bluesound (not sure my wife has the patience to open the Bluesound app to access Amazon music)?

    Man, I don’t want to go another year without a record player (although I forgot how often you have to get up on 45rpm versions). Jimmyjazz called it on the Sonus Faber- great for acoustic music, not quite as good on rock. I’m breaking in Monitor Audio Silver 300 speakers for a media room (will be an all Monitor Audio speaker Dolby Atmos setup). I violated my own code and bought these w/o an audition. They seem a tad bright in the treble, but I’m used to 20 years of the laid back Sonus Faber sound signature. Overall, I’m impressed with the ‘slight used’ purchase. These were cheaper than what I paid for the SF back in the day.

    I haven’t listened to my stereo setup in over a year (equipment went into storage while wife and I waited for a new home build in a one bedroom apartment). We just moved in a week ago. While things are still in disarray, Charlie Watts passing compelled me to hook up the amp/pre-amp/cd player so I could listen to Exile On Main Street.

    Lynyrd Skynyrd

    NYCH1 replied to Sbbruin's topic in Music

    I’m going to throw this out there….Lynyrd Skynyrd’s first two albums are better than anyone’s else first two albums (rock and metal). in my opinion there are no weak tracks and many of the deep cuts are just as good as the radio warhorses. Off the top of my head the other contenders are Velvet Underground, Zep, Black Sabbath, Hendrix, The Stooges, and The Band. The only thing that keep them from the Mount Rushmore conversations are the middle two albums. While Nuthin Fancy and Gimme Back Your Bullets are good albums, they are not on the level of the first two. Street Survivors was a roaring return to form. Along with the death of Hendrix, Lynyrd Skynyrd represents the greatest ‘what if’ for me.

    I never got to see David Bowie or the Grateful Dead live so those are my answers. I would like to send an Irons Up salute to Iron Maiden. While many metal heads didn’t like the Somewhere in Time album, that was my first exposure to IM so I would have loved to hear those songs in 87 (saw them 3x times since 2007). The rest of that set is all killer, no filler. Caught Somewhere in Time 2 Minutes to Midnight Children of the Damned Stranger in a Strange Land Wasted Years Rime of the Ancient Mariner Heaven Can Wait Phantom of the Opera Hallowed Be Thy Name Iron Maiden Encore: The Number of the Beast Run to the Hills Running Free

    My favorite lyrics from Uncle Neil about a doomed 22 year old who never really had a chance. The words are matched by the passionate guitar solo and tone from Young’s Old Black. Shelter me from the powder and the fingerCover me with the thought that pulled the triggerThink of me as one you'd never figuredWould fade away so youngWith so much left undoneRemember me to my loveI know I'll miss her

    PSA- Walmart has a limited edition (orange vinyl) of Tyler Childers-Purgatory for pre-sale ($18.97); for a dollar more, you can order the traditional 180g record from his website.

    Decided less than 1080p highlights.

    My first concert was Neil Young and Crazy Horse with Sonic Youth/Social Distortion - March 1991 (Ragged Glory tour, The Summit-Houston). I still get chills thinking about those opening distorted notes from this song.

    I was at the Austin Record Convention on Friday. I saw some $$$ Miles Davis- Kind of Blue. I didn’t check to see if any of them were mono ‘Six Eye’ first pressings, as I pre-ordered the AP UHQR reissue and didn’t want to be tempted. Does anyone know if the 45rpm AP will be mono or stereo? Some of you of a certain age who went to Convention might have caught the owner of the gone, but not forgotten Inner Sanctum Records (W. 24th St next to Mad Dog and Beans) at a vendor table.
