Welcome from NC

Thanks!!!

Might just be a dumb question but just got a real good stereo (Kenwood DMX7706S, Kicker amplification on all channels, JBL-GX8628 X 4 speakers and subs X 2 in my car (08 Mustang GT) it has a USB that I can use with a drive or Apple Car Play and want to load a USB drive up with music from my computer and was wondering if there was any difference in quality with using the Windows player or is something else better. Lossless is preferable. I have the music files on the computer and some playlist from Amazon and just want to get them on a USB in all their glory. Side question?? I have one USB input. Right now it's either Apple Car Play plugged in or it is a music loaded USB drive. Can I get a splitter of some sort and have both to chose from without unplugging one to put the other in? Thanks as always

Welcome!! I am also in NC Moore County Aberdeen

Sitting in front of the bay windows with the sun over my shoulder reading a Jason Mathews spy novel listening to the TT playing:

I always look at the album (blow it up and check the label)(year made is a big one) then take the research I have already done and make a decision. The records I have bought have all been good from them.

Welcome-Looking forward to your post and journey here.

Welcome! I look forward to your journey and post.

Acustic for the most part. The reunion that never was. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004P7NHBI/ref=dm_ws_tlw_trk12

Thanks for that! It reminded me so much of a reference album I have used for years (Days of the New--Yellow) that I had to look to see if any of the artist were shared as Travis Meeks used a lot of guest artist. Nope non shared. I ordered my copy immediately. FYI Days of the New--Yellow https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G97TV66/ref=dm_ws_tlw_trk2

Spoiler Alert!! Those that have ordered this album READ NO FUTHER You have been warned!! Well after waiting 6 months My MoFi 45rpm Ultra disk arrived. I deep cleaned it and put it on the Technics TT that had my new Denon DL 301 MK ii cart. Things just weren't quit right? I changed carts out and put in the Ortofon 2M Bronze-Now that's better but still not quit right? I slowed it down just a hair-better but still? The Instruments and vocals are real clean and no small detail is missing but???? I am something of a SRV aficionado and I have all his CD's and saw him many times in all sorts of different venues from Dallas to Austin, even got to jam with him one night at a open mic night he hosted at the Continental Club on Congress in Austin back in the 70's. So I know my Steve. It finally dawned on me what I was, or rather what I was not, hearing. It seems Krieg Wunderlich and Rob LoVerde in their infinate wisdom in Mastering this album decided to bring Vaughan's vocals up front and center with clarity. This pushed the instruments back and lowered their dynamics and decay! IE: that classic snare rim snap in Cold Shot for one instance. I don't know about what most folks look for in a SRV recording but if I want to hear vocals I look to other artist like Nora Jones, Eva Cassidy, Frank Sinatra, and many others but not SRV! I want to hear his guitar Genius first and foremost along with the drums, snares, bass, ect. with emphasis and feeling. His vocals while good are not what I consider his strong point. While I would imagine those with no real prior knowledge (???🙄) of SRV would enjoy this mix and pressing I feel let down and as it's my first purchase of one of these MoFi Ultradisc and if this is what to expect (someone arbitrarily changing a Artist performances and putting their perceptions on it ) I dare say it will be my last. Especially at 125.00 and a 6 month wait per album. Now if you already bought this album and went ahead and read this - I warned you_ and I did not want to bias your opinion as I am looking foward to reading it.

WoHo!! FedX has my SRV LP out for delivery I just got the new needle running on the TT so I know what I will be doing later. Opps as a matter of fact here's Fed-X! Now just clean it and give it a listen.

Welcome-Looking forward to your post-meanwhile kick back and enjoy the ride.

Boston-Don;t Look Back on TT system

Gravity Not a lot of dialog but in Dolby Atmos

Queens Gambit Susan and I have been watching this series . It's only one season long but it's good. https://youtu.be/CDrieqwSdgI

Hmm Very Interesting? I was not aware of these speakers. Looked them up and they seem very reasonable in price and as several of you seem familiar with them thought I would ask what their redeeming qualities were?

Welcome to a place with many "Like Minded" folks. Enjoy the company.

Welcome Bob! As I also have 2 of these subs I am looking forward to your post.

What or Which other Web site?
