Buddy Rich Was Very Possibly An Unpleasant Person
SoundQcar replied to Jud's topic in Music in General
No possibly about it, Jud. There's a famous story about Buddy's passing....I like to think there is some truth to it: The day after Buddy died, the phone rings at his home. His wife Marie answered. The man on the other end asks – “Is Buddy there?” Marie says “No, I’m sorry – Buddy has passed away.” The gentleman says, “Thank you,” and hangs up. Next day, the phone rings again. Same gentleman, same question: “Is Buddy there?” Same answer. This goes on every day for a week. One day...exasperated and hoping to put an end to this, his wife said, “I recognize you, you played in Buddy’s band. You’ve called everyday this week asking for Buddy. Don’t you understand? Buddy is DEAD!” The gentleman says: “Oh I understand. I just never get tired of hearing it” -
Looks like this thread has stalled a bit, so I'll throw one of my playlists out there. Hope you enjoy. https://open.qobuz.com/playlist/16740636

Good tracks with double bass ("stand up bass")

Moonlight Serenade - Laurindo Almeida & Ray Brown -

My college roommate works for Nonesuch, and kicks a few pre-release digital files to me every now and then. This one I happened to have requested from him, as I've always been a fan of hers. It will be worth the wait... she has never been this well recorded. Very minimal interference on the board by the engineering crew...and it sounds it. Enjoy

I use a Gigafoil v4 powered by a Keces P8 with my Lumin X1 with no issues whatsoever. This is listening to Qobuz via Roon. -
This album has always been one of my favorites. Great recording.

RAAL-requisite SR1a Has Landed
SoundQcar replied to The Computer Audiophile's topic in Headphones & Speakers
I'm sure you've listened to the cable by now, but I have the silver cable using the interface box through a Bryston 4b3 amp, and it is definitely a positive step up from the stock cable. It allows more of what makes the SR1a special, to shine through. -
Bob.... Can't help ya there. I've only gotten around to using it from my laptop, specifically from the Tidal desktop app. I only bought the ME2 so I can dip my toe into MQA without much heartache to my wallet. I don't have any desire to implement it into my main system, as I'm still holding out hope that Lumin will jump into the MQA pool. That said, I have heard the same issues that GUTB reported when using it from an iOS device.

Just as an aside, the Explorer 2 has no problem whatsoever driving my HD600's.

For all the happy Lumin owners out there, of which I am one, if you wish to have MQA implementation on all Lumin products, please take the time to send along an email to Lumin and let them know that the interest exists, and that they need to make it happen. [email protected] Thanks to all
