Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
@prof Thanks. BTW I hadn't heard the live St Louis Blues Brubeck Quartet album before. It is surprisingly well recorded for a live venue IMO.@ronkent I'm playing the Yello One Second album now. It fills up the room that's for sure. 
Shunyata or Synergistic for power conditioning?
@hamburger I'm sorry if I missed it earlier in this thread, but could you list the components you are plugging directly into your AQ Niagra 7000 and whether or not you still have any components directly plugged into the wall (besides the power con... 
If You Like Funk: Check Out Vulfpeck
I just finished listening to Lettuce's (2008) release called Rage!. If you like your bass front and center this is the album for you. I'm a bass fan, so it really worked for me. Although released in the last 10 years this album has a lot of the 19...

+1 Everything But the Girl--I just listened to the first track of Amplified Heart, which @prof uses as a test track (he listed Atomic Heart but his description of the track matches Rollercoaster--the first track on Amplified Heart). It sounds grea...

I'm always fascinated by what Roon picks on the radio when an album finishes. I just finished playing (again) Tower of Power S/T (thanks @shadorne) and Roon selected "Vein Melter" from Herbie Hancock's HeadHunters album relating it to TOP's "Just ...

@david_ten BTW I'm sitting here right now listening to the Galactic "Crazy Mongoose" CD that arrived today. My boys both sat down earlier and listened with me for a bit. Awesome. On Childish Gambino, they are fans...I will tell them you are cooler...

@fmpnd On the thread, my pleasure. Less we forget, this thread started by my teenage boys being willing to have me ask y'all what you thought of a band they current follow. BTW my family now calls this thread "old audio funk dudes" I kind of like ...

Frank, have fun tonight. And please post a review when you return.PeaceAl 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
Oops, Paul Simon's band also had a sax player too. Apologies. (This is a sax player in addition to his guitar player that also plays the bari sax, the picolo and probably other stuff I've forgotten.) 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
I saw Paul Simon on his "Homeward Bound" Farewell Tour last night (06.01.18) at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, TX. Highly recommended. His voice is in really good shape (he is 76 years old, I think). He played 2 plus hours. He engaged wit...

@grey9hound The final album I listened to last night was your recommended "Renewable Energy" by The New Mastersounds. Compared to the other recommendations I have listened to thus far, this felt like a smoother funk record. I enjoyed it. Thanks fo...

@flynnyrd Thanks for posting the link. Yep, my boys told me this was on the way. 
If You Like Funk: Check Out Vulfpeck
As I mentioned earlier (I think), one of my boys plays drum kit. He told me today that his band buddies all picked songs to feed into a group music stream to listen to together. He picked this one, from a a new LP he bought on record day--It is fr... 
Robert & Alison-Raising Sand
@knownothing I have both those CDs and noticed the exact same thing. The performance of Kraus/Plant are really good but the mastering is less than desirable.
