One of the biggest annoyances I have with L&P OS is the absence of gapless playback. This is not really an issue if you are using playlists, but for albums it can be a real distraction. Thankfully you can use XRECODE3 to convert the individual .flac/.m4a/.wav files that make up an album into a...

Agree, streaming is great, essential even, to discover new music, along with a few independent radio stations I follow. I guess I'm fortunate so many of the artists I like release on bandcamp, where you can stream for free and purchase physical/digital copies as well of course. Buying digital...

That is fantastic, will be buying next BC Friday! Will add this one to the queue as well, just amazing stuff from William Tyler..

This is a coping mechanism employed by those who can't or won't chose to spend more on gear. That's not to say that more expensive always equals better, but to completely close yourself off to the idea is naive. At this point I know what I hear for myself and I'm quite happy with my...

I probably wouldn't use the term 'esoteric', but I get the point Mark is making here. When you're getting to the 1.5k+ price range, and certainly at 3k, 4k and beyond, there has to be something or some things about that IEM that make it truly special or unique. It has to be able to grab you in...

Mistakes are unfortunate but they do happen. What's important is how a vendor responds and looks after their customers, which it seems 64Audio is doing well in this case. Frustrating as it may be, I'd probably wait to give a vendor the opportunity respond to my concerns before airing them on...

Yeah, I'm kind of at a similar point, very happy with all the gear I've collected and patiently waiting for a certain IEM to be delivered.. But the music discovery never stops, that's what got me into the hobby in the first place. I'm sure there will be other purchases in the future, but I'm...

I had a bit of a love/hate relationship with BCNR first 2 albums, it felt like they were trying just a little too hard. Then their lead singer left, and with the latest album it's a case of addition by subtraction imho... So pretty! What makes 'em glow blue? Now I've got a modest collection...

Not so sure about that. Some desktop amps have a 4.4mm jack designed specifically for IEMs.. And some IEMs may actually play better with the higher OI of the 6.3 or even XLR on an amp like Aegis anyway. I much prefer the versatility some gear offers me, whether at home or on the go. Between...

Addition by subtraction...
