| Can we make major musical discoveries at age 50, 65, or 80? @grislybutter - interesting, I've never heard that saying before, but it sure does not apply to me or any of my friends.... Quite the opposite, for us.... | |
| What would you save in a fire? The black and white negatives and color slides I took as a concert photographer during the 70's.... | |
| Where are the front men? (Rant) @simao + 1, but I wouldn't say it IS fading away, I'd say it HAS faded away - still there, of course, but it's not been the predominant genre for decades. Time marches on, as do musical styles and trends. | |
| Can we make major musical discoveries at age 50, 65, or 80? Good question. Absolutely one can - my favorite musical artist of all time is a woman named Kristeen Young, who I never even heard of before 2018, though she's made 11 albums since 1997 (David Bowie duetted with her on a song in 2003, which I read... | |
| HumminGuru vs.Degritter @dogberry - Thanks for the correction - Is that the newer model of Humminguru? I thought the original one you had to let air dry after it did the washing, but I could be mistaken. | |
| HumminGuru vs.Degritter A lot would depend on whether you want the machine to do the drying for you as well; DeGritter will, Humminguru won't. I like the machine to do the drying, so I've been very happy with my DeGritter which I've had pretty much since the first ones c... | |
| **The Official/Un Official Audiogon Audiophile Streaming Speaker List** I've got Cabasse Rialto's and use them on my desktop; I am very happy with them.... | |
| Favorite scream in rock? Nobody screams/sings like Eric Adams - no, not the NY Mayor, but the singer in Manowar over the past 4 decades or so.... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @bdp24 - yeah, Mississippi Studios is great venue and environment; saw Stan Ridgway up there about 20 or so years ago... | |
| Anyone read this NYT story about analog audio bars? I'm looking forward to audiophile cannabis lounges.... | |
| Package Has Disappeared in USPS System I've had good luck with USPS until a few weeks ago when I sent a poster tube with some prints to somebody across the country. It hadn't shown up a few weeks later and the customer checked the tracking number and it showed it was still in the post ... | |
| Is anyone here still into live concerts these days? @2psyop - there's going to be a deluxe anniversary edition of 'For Earth Below' coming out later this year. One of my photos I took in Oakland in 1975 will be in the included booklet.... | |
| What were your favorite gear additions in 2024? That would be the only gear I bought this year, Modhouse Tungsten DS headphones along with the Enleum HPA23 RMH headphone amp that went with it.... | |
| To Fritz, Quicksilver, and all the exceptional makers trying to get the word out At one point I had both Fritz Carrerra BE's (Fritz brought 'em around to my apartment and we hung out for a few hours) and a Quicksilver Headphone Amp. I've since upgraded both, but those were both excellent in quality and value.... | |
| Is anyone here still into live concerts these days? I quit going to shows in 2020 when COVID hit and I've never really gone back; I used to be good for 20 - 30 gigs per year, but I'm also 73 years old now! So I'm mostly content to watch live shows on my sound and video system. Unless I personally k... |
