Boor!!!1951 was definitively a brilliant vintage
@BrantomeAt least our combined ages pale into insignificance compared to the Rolling Stones' - or maybe just Keith Richards on his own
Rolling? Mick?
They confided in me. Yes, I know them.
They made a deal with the devil. They offered me to do the same. I'm thinking about it. Ohhhh we may be 70, but we are worse than kids.
@Achim1811I was forced to Langenscheidt that
I googled Langenscheidt, but.. i didn’t found a translation.
What means? It’s a bad thing? May be “separate for a long time” ?@Maurizio
Langenscheidt since decades is the most famous publisher of dictionaries in Germany. And now my educational mandate for today is
Tonight’s listening is on BT headphones. Bose QC35s.
Raspberry Pi with USB DAC into an Onkyo CD Receiver and an Avantree Oasis II BT transmitter plugged into headphone out.
If, when, WiiM get Squeezelite sorted then this Pi may well get replaced with a Pro.
♪ Playing Do The Strand by Roxy Music from For Your Pleasure (180g Vinyl Half Speed Remaster 2022) (1973) (Local • 807kbps VBR 16bit 44.1kHz FLC)
Roxy Music are one of my favourite bands. Particularly the early albums. One of my first album purchases was the debut. My original copy of For Your Pleasure is the reason I don’t have a first press of DSOTM. Roxy’s second album was released a couple of weeks after DSOTM in 1973. The 15 year old me had decided to save his pocket money for Roxy.
PS Being 15 in 1973 means I am mere youngster in here.
PPS BT headphones as I have a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc on the go and BT allows more frequent visits to the fridge.

Hey mate, don't increase a lady's years.@Maurizio
It lasted long in my old brain. You are from 1950, always was sure you're also a 51er. Sorry, old man

It's not polite. I AM of 1951. You should know.Anyway you did good. You have found the perfect gift for my upcoming birthday. Too bad I'll have to wait for next April. I'll give you the address so you know where to send it to me.
Good choice. Me too i'm a Harrel's fan
@Maurizio
Sorry friend, it was so cold here yesterday my internal calculator stopped working
By the way, 1951 was a horrible year for wine. But exceptional good for us.
agreed en pleinI love herbie, but i must confess that this album was unknown to me. I will listen to it. I saw that on Qobuz there are two version. A CD quality with 2 tracks more, and a 24/96 version. Which of the two do you recommend? You can bill me for advice.

Three for free every new day
From sound quality I can not point even a tiny difference. You know I love the high digits, but I do not really believe in
It would be the easiest way I would seek the reason in my still kind of low end equipment here. But I do not expect significant improvement. Some different "sound signature"? Yes! Sound improvement? No!
Just during the last days I did some comparing between CDs, CD quality streams and hi-res streams. To be honest and may be related to the fact that the CD player is the "best" part here I prefer always the CD. In my old ears it sounds simply more "complete".Feelin...nothing more than feelin'

I've stopped obsessing about CD vs Hi-Res because, at 57, and having been to quite a few LOUD shows over the years, I can't tell a difference between the two. Sure, from mp3 to CD-quality I can but that's my limit.@Maurizio

I work in an operating room and I will make an appointment with an excellent ENT doc and request a hearing test. I'm sure it won't even come close to 20khz
Speaking of female singers, I am absolutely taken by Lisa Gerard of Dead Can Dance and her solo work. IMO, her voice is other-wordly. Puts me in such a relaxed state of mind.
