    A new Feelies double-live record has been announced. It's a Velvet Underground Tribute from a Jersey City show 5 years ago. http://www.bar-none.com/store/the-feelies-time-for-a-witness-8lka7

    Caught The Feelies at ArtsQuest/SteelStacks in Bethlehem, PA Friday night. They were at Ottobar (Baltimore) on Saturday. Big fun.

    The Eagle has landed. Installation is going to require some reshuffling of gear. Should be a fun weekend - witholding audio judgements for another week or two in light of the extended break-in period many have reported.

    It'll probably be hard to shut me up, lol.

    Well my Pontus made it to Alaska last night and is expected for delivery on Friday. I feel like a kid watching the Santa map on Christmas eve. Of course there's that week or two of break in before it sounds it's best, but I'll be happy just to look at it for a while, lol.

    The Dark Side; Digital audio equipment recommendations and setup.

    I pulled the trigger on a Pontus II 12a yesterday. Will probably ship Monday or Tuesday. Pretty stoked to see what it does for my system - I'm expecting good things. The few criticisms I've seen have all been matters of preference, and the strengths described by listeners are consistently the...

    The Dark Side; Digital audio equipment recommendations and setup.

    Any Denafrips owners care to say a little bit about your experience? It's been a couple of years since my last gear upgrade and I've got 'the itch'. Pontus II has been on my radar for awhile now, and I'm thinking the time has come. I was able to have a brief listen to an ARES 2 in an...

    I don't have any DSD files in Roon, but I checked their FAQs which indicate that DSD is supported - either as DSD-Direct or DSD to PCM. Here's a link to the relevant article - it gets a little technical (don't trust my 'translation')... Roon DSD FAQ Roon DSD FAQ2 (added and fixed links)

    The Dark Side; Digital audio equipment recommendations and setup.

    I've been using Roon for just about a year. After doing the trial period I subscribed and set up my 'collection' by connecting to my Tidal account and just searching by artist and ticking the 'add to collection' button for those items I own. I was working off of a list I had already maintained...

    Let's See What Makes Your Vinyl Spin!

    I completely agree. I've had a few different subs over the years (all pretty good quality, including a couple of serious DIY projects) and the Rythmik is definitely something special. I have a pretty strong preference for sealed subs - so I've had those before, but it's the first servo sub...

    I’ve got a preorder in for one from the second run. Lots of praise from all over the place. I’m curious to hear the performance -and- the sound of Kevin Gray’s new setup. 👍😎

    Well, I'm an 'entry level' Sutherland guy. Beer and oak at my place. About the Steely Dan thing... give me a break, I'm old. It's the sound of my youth. lol

    Welcome - Introduce Yourself Here

    I actually FOUND the forum by doing a Google search for some Sutherland info. One of the suggested links put me in the Sutherland Club House. Kinda gave me the idea this would be my kind of place to hang.

    Let's See What Makes Your Vinyl Spin!

    They're just self made risers I threw together. PVC pipe with plywood endcaps, filled with shot and wrapped in vinyl that looks like black brushed/anodized aluminum. There's no audible tuning/improvement intended or detected - they're just there to hold stuff up. One issue I have with this...

    Let's See What Makes Your Vinyl Spin!

    LOL - the reformed part refers to my attitude. I used to be a 'gear first' guy. Once I learned to be a 'music first' listener, I suddenly became a lot happier - but it took a LONG time.
