| Tube pre for class d recommendations I’m very pleased with the Freya, Owen. Had it a couple of years now (3?) and no problems. You can spend more, you can buy better but at $700 it is a solid bargain. 5 year warranty and there’s a 15 day money back return option (less 5% restocking a... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report This thread was started back in Spring of 2012 - almost 7 years ago; "Streaming" was not nearly as widely used as it is today. While CDP was used in the title to play off the long running, "What's On Your Turntable Tonight" thread, the idea was t... | |
| Tube pre for class d recommendations A Freya pre-amp used ahead of a Merrill Audio Taranis Class D power amp sounds great to me. The Freya (4-6SN7s) replaced an Opera Reference 50 (dual-6H30/EZ80-rectified) pre-amp. Both pre-amps worked just fine but the sound with the Freya is more... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report @shadorne Thanks for sharing the Brian Auger appreciation. I'm actually old enough to remember Brian Auger and the Trinity. He and Julie were getting some FM airplay back then. This Live In Los Angeles 2 CD recording is relatively new (2015, I ... | |

| Just saw Jesse Cook...yeaow! @fishboat Glad you were not offended. Didn't know Jesse Cook's Narada roots. That explains things a bit. The best tracks on Gravity are engaging and not at all smooth jazz/new age. They display has his own "voice" as it were. If you like "cla... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report N - Is Donati new to you or were you already up on him?In This Life has great sonics. Not the most melodic thing I've ever listened to but it is interesting. Might be one of those things that rewards time invested. Later. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report No problem, of course, U. I certainly can't make a steady diet of this stuff. re old age and listening preferences, I expect I know what you mean. I'm also guessing I'm a few years up on you! | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Something you might like (maybe)...Virgil Donati - In This Life (Tidal)(See comments to you and N at The Minority Report) | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Virgil Donati - In This Life.This might be one of those that takes some patience and repeated listening before it hooks you. It is certainly "interesting" ;-)N - I have found that Red Dragon Cartel on Tidal but only see their album, Patina right n... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report For Nutty & Uberwaltz - Glad you liked the CAB Live On Sunset, N. Reading credits got me interested in what other work Virgil Donati had been involved with. Quite a lot as it turns out. A couple of things that might bear further listening. ... | |
| Just saw Jesse Cook...yeaow! Oops...make that "Never heard him live....". | |
| Just saw Jesse Cook...yeaow! Glad you enjoyed the show.Never hard him live but have spent some time listening to this album.Some of it I like quite a lot. Other bits seem awfully smooth jazz/new age-y. Different strokes, I guess. No question about his talent, however.https... | |
| I’m pretty sure I’ve lost my mind... One of the absolute deals in all of audio is the Analysis Plus Pro Oval Power Cord, available all over the place for less than 100 bucks. Wattgate connectors, what have you. Cannot beat with stick. @geoffkait - You are right. Thanks for the recom... |
