All this talk about what sounds good/better (streaming vs physical media etc) prompted me to share a video of a remix of a classic Def Leppard track, Photograph.
Even though it's on YouTube (and 128kbps?) the sound quality of the remix is impressive, and markedly better to me than the album version (IMO, YMMV etc).
To me this simple demonstration shows how much the mix and the master plays in the final products subjective sound quality.

Enjoy

Well Derrick, disagree all you want. Jason disagrees with you. He understands that international customers may not be as willing to buy from the USA with all the costs and red tape involved. Since he owns the company, I guess his opinion counts, while mine and yours, not so much.....

Just saying

Pois.

True - but queuing up the next Lp ??? ah were not talking about 100 bottles sequentially then

I'm more of a Bergerac Pecharmant or Languedoc/Roussillon wine area type of person ... good Bordeaux is over-priced ... good Burgundy similar

I do find myself gravitating towards Languedoc/Roussillon a lot. Also a big fan of Chateauneuf du Pape, but that tends to be a bit more expensive.

Here’s a couple photos of Lyr+ with the tube cap in place.

Is that new Bifrost 2/64? What’s your impressions of these so far?

Here is my AVS forum link:

However, the photos of HT building all got messed up years ago when there was some forum transition.

In that vein, this episode of the youtube show Dead Wax (formerly Professional Musicians React) involves the mixing of Born in the USA:

Great show for music theory nerds.

I made you something....

Awwwww, man. Now I'm gonna have to delete that post I was just writing about you.

+1 -- I'm a big fan of my Tekton Lore Reference.

And I'm more than happy with my Lores. They're the best $5k speaker that I've ever spent $1k on.

No need to thank me. I know I'm special, good looking, and humble...!

Yep. Personally, I enjoy it a lot. It may not be as warm/dark as the original BF2, but it makes up for it in increased clarity and imaging, which has been great for my desktop speakers but not as great for my Grado headphones. I see the new card as a different flavor since it leans a little more towards a neutral sound.

And I'd concur re: my Electron SEs. High value for the audio buck!

Thanks for your thoughts. Just wondering which particular Grado headphones you're referencing above. I'm curious

Then you are going to need an automatic 'table.
