The Computer Audiophile

I had a stub collection but the ink disappeared off most of them.

You must be kidding. That was my first concert ever!!!!!!!! 8th grade. Met Center. Motley Crue. Got picked up at the Thunderbird by my friend’s mom after the show.

The Pearl Jam fan club treats its members nice. The service fee is from ticket master. Each ticket was $103.

Just found out I got tickets to the NYC show at Madison Square Garden on March 30, 2020!!!

Also in the BluOS app.

I see them via the Qobuz app.

Thanks for the kind words and please thank Tom / @DuckToller. He puts a ton off work into what he does for Audiophile Style.

SR would laugh because polishing those pieces would enable a 10x price increase 😁

Works now.

Hold that album cover up into a mirror. It's terrific.

You guys wouldn't believe how the album sounds in my room right now. It's absolutely incredible.

I have the 24/48 DVD rip and it sounds wonderful! Looking for a rip of the 2019 vinyl release though. Probably has better dynamic range.

The cool thing is that most people like the way you disagree with “questionable” reviews in such a civil way. I will enthusiastically read all your criticism of my work because of who you are as a person (nice, genuine, honest ...) and because of how you deliver your thoughts. I’d be the happiest guy around if this site was full of disagreements that educated and entertained people, all in a civil way. That’s the optimist in me typing :~)

This is my go-to place for extension cables. https://www.badassextensioncords.com/

I need to cryogenically treat my Sears drill first.

It doesn’t really matter what you’re interested in. Bob stated the facts for you. These facts have been gleaned over many years of using Sonore products and talking to the company about each update. Sonore doesn’t comment on changes in sound quality. Period. End of story.

Well said. Heck, MQA Ltd even managed to turn off those of us who really wanted to believe from the start. We gave the company the benefit of every doubt and had high hopes this was something real. However, they managed to turn off many of us, including people who believe in magic cups hanging on the wall. That isn’t easy to do.

I don't believe MQA is just the target of the moment. In the 12 years since this site started, no topic has received as much analysis as MQA. Because MQA ltd's stated goals included a single deliverable for all record labels (Bob said this in the MQA RMAF presentation I moderated several years ago), it has the ability to effect every music listener. This is a big deal for everyone who loves music, good sound, and choice. This is the sole reason in my opinion why MQA continues to draw criticism and analysis. All the other stuff would be meaningless if MQA was strictly a thing for 2L and the like. Enjoying whatever floats your boat and enjoying the audiophile journey as much as the destination is a good thing. But, if what one enjoys, negatively effects many others, then we have a problem that needs a resolution. Joe TubeDac can use all the Synergistic Research fuses he wants and it won't effect me in the slightest way. Thus, live and let listen.

Yes.

Who’s smoke and mirrors? Sonore hasn’t said it improves sound quality. Perhaps you’re a bit cynical?

Quote of the decade so far 😁

I bet it isn't truly pawnshop either.
