| Is AI going to kill Hifi? As a veteran of many cruises of all types since the 80's, I can say you have to pick your cruise with some care. If you sail on Carnival or another party cruise line, don't complain about unrefined 'brutes'. If you sail on the QEII, don't complain... | |
| RIP Chuck Mangione @corelli + 1 - Rough week; never mind Hogan, he was no hero, but we lost Ozzy and the guy in Golden Earring who wrote 'Radar Love' and other great songs. | |
| Batteries are Cheap, Backup power is expensive No internet, no lots of other things besides music, too. But I can understand @fatdaddy2 's point, so I guess I rate an OK Boomer, too.... | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries @audio-b-dog - John Fahey - straight outa Takoma Park, MD. He can really take you on a journey with just one acoustic guitar. Brilliant records, brilliant live performances.... | |
| LessLoss "Stellar" Speaker Cables You might consider also posting this under the 'Cables' category as well. | |
| RIP Chuck Mangione I lived in Rochester, NY, from '69 - '73 while going to college there, and Chuck Mangione lived in Rochester and would play gigs all over, including at my college.... | |
| Sellers Beware @ancient_tones + 1, but for me, West Coast is preferable. But yes, communication can tell you a lot, though these days, it's possible that written communication could have been written by AI; I would have a chat with the person on the phone to dis... | |
| Are you hearing the instruments or the music? @mapman + 1 - You mean they're not mutually exclusive? ;-) | |
| Basis Audio - Exhorbitant servicing evaluation cost I went to that page on their website, and there's a pretty extensive list of reasons, below those prices, why he is discouraging any business with used turntables. The turntable policy IS the service policy. https://www.basisaudio.com/turntable-... | |
| Crossover or crossoverless @knotscott + 1 - No real 'absolutes' here.... | |
| Ozzie Ozbourne is Dead I remember being in my college dorm when somebody came in with an album by a new band called 'Black Sabbath'. I liked the overall sound, but not the songs so much; that came later with 'Paranoid'. Got to see them on that tour in '71 or '72 with Hu... | |
| Amazon Selling Used CDs Advertised As New Weird experience! I've been buying new CD's and vinyl on Amazon for decades and everything I received as 'new' was new. Sometimes plastic CD cases are cracked, but that's the nature of plastic CD cases; I've gotten new ones from many places that a... | |
| Suggestions for a holographic preamp? @invalid - I just checked out their website, and their product list is overwhelming! I'm not going to be doing any direct buys from Canada anyway (I love Canada, I just don't want to deal with international stuff). And 1997 is calling them and it... | |
| Suggestions for a holographic preamp? @avanti1960 - thank you! Actually, quite a long time ago I had a modded SLP-05, and my other gear was different then too, but it just didn't do it for me as much as I'd have liked. Could have been any number of factors, but I did give it a go! | |
| Rhino High-Fidelity record jackets OK - I see what you're saying; I did that for awhile, keeping the inner-sleeved record outside of the jacket but within the outer sleeve, but I want to be able to read the back of the album cover without having to take the record out. |
