Re: Why do people like Jethro Tull

Sorry to hear that Doc...
Jethro Tull's aqualung was my first album! Probably when i was 16...
After that i bought Thick as a Brick. When I play either of them on vinyl I always notice how good they sound.
They still work for me...

My apartment block has 50 apartments. There is pollution in the mains. You have those little machine...

Re: Upgraded power cables - the truth

I had this classic situation in my appartement: after 10 in the evening the sound was so much clearer and relaxing than in daytime. I bought the Lampizator Silk, which is a AC filter. My daytime problems were over by then. I need three decent power cables, two of them were build by hand from a decen...

Re: Have you ever had french audio at home ?

Musique, I love those Cabasse speakers in your profile pic. And this weekend I heard the most fantastic French PHY driver in a Dutch Musical Affairs open baffle cabinet.

Re: Why do people join hi-fi forums

I would introduce a Frisian song. It is from the north of Holland. I am sure you all understand most:

"Bûter, brea en griene tsiis, wa't dat net sizze kin is gjin oprjochte Fries".

Re: Bug Head Emperor, world's best audio player ?

Thanks Slinger for your post. I understand your opinion about the GUI. Hard to understand, but the more you dive into it the more respect you get for this program. I read that Lukasz Fikus, the man behind Lampizator developed a music server with JRiver and thus JRemote as GUI with Bug Head as player...

Re: Bug Head Emperor, world's best audio player ?

Hi Jammy,
Don't worry... I still have a turntable and lots of lp's. It is therapeutic indeed and I do that lots of times.
Digital music is just a kind of other addiction I have to satisfy!
Thanks for the post.

Bug Head Emperor, world's best audio player ?

Would you have the ambition to build world's best audio player? Well a Japanese engineer has. And he succeeded pretty well in building it for Windows with the legendary name Bug Head Emperor. Expensive? No... it is for free. As I mentioned in earlier posts, I love geniuses with a vision, so does thi...
