Sounds like your record collection is way larger than mine Daniel!
When I moved to USA in 2000 I gave all my records away as cost of shipping and likelihood of breakage was too high.
In my opinion, a lot better than the S&M stuff. Iâm also curious to see what else is coming.

I have. I love 1970s hardrock. Especially some of the more âunknownâ bands.
Saw them in the Netherlands (Melkweg) with maybe 15 others, among them 4 friends.
I still have the ticket and set list (somewhere in a box), a memorable concert.
Hi @Henri !
So lets Talk Moxy. Canadian mid to late 70s hard rock band. Lots of people like their first and consider it their best. Some Tommy Bolin guitar work on the album

Their second was very similar in style to their first, minus Bolinâs guitar.

By the time of their third, the style shift towards radio friendly was beginning to happen. It does contain a couple of my fav songs by them, however.

Then their 4th and last before a long breakup. It shows a definite changing of styles towards a radio friendlier hard rock sound. âSailorâs Delightâ sounds like they were trying for Aerosmith circa 1976. There was a change of lead singer from the first 3 albums; the new one for this album was Michael Rynoski, and he might sound a bit familiar. After Moxy broke up, he shortened his name to Mike Reno and went on to Loverboy.
On the streaming services or Roon, the cover is duplicated from Ridinâ High, but the name of the album is âUnder the Lightsâ. Actual Album cover below.

I talked about Moxy in the Canadian music tread nine months ago.
See here:
I discovered them in 1977 with their 3th album âRidinâ Highâ. Then I quickly purchased their previous two albums. Being a huge Buzz Shearman fan, the later albums are a bit less interesting to me.
In fact in the late â70s I started to discover a lot of Canadian hard rock bands. Amongst them Goddo, Max Webster, of course Triumph, The Imps, with Frank Soda, Frank Marino, Trooper, BTO, Coney Hatch and Pat Travers.

So back in 1976 in England our weekly music rag, NME ( new musical express) did a piece on the " new" burgeoning Canadian rock scene.
That was my first introduction to bands like Rush, Frank Marino, Lee Aaron, April Wine, Moxy, Triumph and many more.
Never looked backđ.
Must have worn out at least two copies of 2112!
Caught Triumph and Frank Marino live at the once only outdoor stadium event known as The Heavy Metal Holocause at Port Vale that has entered legend status in England for itâs headliners of Ozzy and Motorhead.

So testing out the new iFi Zen Stream and after trying some Metallica at (shh) MQA 96 (you have to test all the features).
I have now moved onto Tool in 24/96. Itâs a great test album and the stream and the Dac seem to be holding up well with various upscaling options. Very impressed so far.
